We recently made a quick little getaway to the Hudson Valley region. Anna and I love traveling to places that inspire your creative soul. We’ve visited the Hudson Valley region a few times and feel a wonderful connection to the place. The landscape, the quaint towns and the people make this a truly magical and creative region.
On this visit, we connected with poet, photographer and Warhol superstar, Gerard Malanga. We also explored the mind-blowing Opus 40 and an awesome sculpture park called Art Omi. A hike at Falling Waters Preserve in Saugerties was a pleasant experience. A trip into Woodstock was also on the itinerary.
Dinner with Gerard Malanga in Saugerties, New YorkOpus 40…wow! When walking upon this landscape sculpture, it was an inspirational and ecstatic feeling. Brought us to the verge of tears. Anna navigating the stairways and nooks of this incredible art experience. Opus 40. Simply amazing. Gerard Malanga and Anna viewing some of his fine art images. Gerard provides detailed commentary on the conception, inspiration and insight into each image. Being in his presence is like a contemporary art history class. It’s mind-bending.

Art Omi is an incredible sculpture park. It should be on everyone’s bucket list. Art Omi, Ghent, NYArt Omi in Ghent, NYArt Omi in Ghent, NYAnna in a glass cabin floating on a pond at Art Omi.
