The Starmaker

It’s not easy to become a “has-been” by age twelve; it means you need to start very young (like at age three), work in a particularly unforgiving business (like acting and modeling), and you have to achieve instant success (like appearing in 40 commercials and countless print advertisements). It’s quite an [...]

Grant will help Bucks County Audubon “Advance Literacy through Science”

Investing In Your Fifties and Beyond

I have recently joined the ranks of “the mature.” The point was hammered home (a bit reluctantly) a few weeks ago—I received a membership request from AARP. My mother tells me that moving into my fifties is really a mark of distinction. She is of the firm belief that “Older Americans command more authority and [...]

Emotion and Analysis Lead to Communion in Artist’s Process

Ask Materese Roche a question about her painting, and you’ll get a thoughtful but sure answer—there are no “I don’t knows” from her. And no matter what your query, at some point, she will give credit to her classical training and the vast freedom its discipline allows her to experience at her [...]
