acrylic 26 x 20 x 1.5" Three Sheets is an expression of how one hides behind a thin veil of imagined reality. It explores the impermanence of masking one's life artificially with intoxication. It has been said that an overstimulated being is Three Sheets to the wind, in essence, out of control. There are many ways one can be intoxicated. It could be love, emotional distress, fatigue, or just inebriation from consumption. As they say, what's your poison?

acrylic 18 x 24 x 1.75" Convergence is the culmination of many hours of blending directly on the canvas. My process begins by selecting a color scheme and limiting myself to using only those colors plus neutrals. I work intuitively, applying paint then stepping back to analyze until I see no further changes to be made. The complementary colors in Convergence seemed to flow in a pattern which reminded me of rivers merging together in a confluence.

oil 24 x 24 x 1" This work was inspired by watching an artist construct a large scale urban artwork. All creatives will recognize this moment- approaching the empty page, the lump of clay or the white wall; all problems and all solutions are available if we take that leap of faith and...begin!

fiberglass, varnish, pigments 36 x 84" Environmental awareness and protecting our natural resources are crucial if we are to survive. As a culture we are too busy to notice the delicacy of this complete system of life. Through my work as an artist, I see the opportunities to highlight these subtle spaces that balance and support our natural environment. It is crucial that we attend to the beauty, tranquility, and serenity in order to return to the center of balance. When we take care of our planet we impact ourselves positively.

original collage (Primal Parts) printed on canvas with acrylic paint and marker, modeling paste, coarse pumice gel, glass bead gel diptych - each canvas is 48 x 40 x 1.5" Primal Parts II is a canvas print of my collage Primal Parts inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo. I used strong colors, female figues and elements of nature to denote women's strengths. Primal Parts II is texturized and accented with acrylic paint and markers as well as various mediums to create texture on the piece. The piece evolved into a diptych due to a printing error which created a reverse image.. The diptych further strengthens the piece.

oil 22 x 30 x 1" A friend was travelling in Iceland and took a photo of this dawn, while taking a trip to see the waterfalls at Selfoss and Dettifoss. I named it for the falls that sound more like 'Self Loss' because the absorption into this sky is a way to lose yourself. The following words were written for and are painted into it: The Road to Selfoss, the dawn to openness, the sky to everything.

mixed media/sculpture 13 x 15.5 x 7.75" "The Sheilas" is a kinetic piece with original printmaking, self-portrait, found objects, and mirror (yes, one needs a little smoke or mirrors to do this work of spying and deception). The invisible women who helped spy during wartime and the Cold War could go unnoticed because who would look at a woman past her "prime"?! Lift the latch attached to the little red book at the top of the cabinet and reveal the "Universal Aunts" who can "Solve Your Problems", In doing so, that motion lifts an envelope that hides the younger distracting woman in the black and white photo and reveals the faces of the older women who are doing the important work of saving the free world.

watercolor & gouache 24 x 40 x 2" As winter fades and the season changes to spring in the tristate area of NJ, NY and PA the earth renews itself. It is like a resurrection of sorts that becomes apparent gradually. Spirits run high as the days get longer and the sun shines brighter. My work reflects the joy I feel during spring resurrection. My painting was created with watercolor and gouache on 140lb cold press paper and then mounted onto cradleboard with heavy gel medium. It is preserved with gallery series, Acid-free, UV protected, non-yellowing, matt spray varnish that also repels dirt and moisture.

acrylic on canvas 32 x 28 x 2" In my latest series of work, Translucencies, I apply many thin layers of acrylic paint over a vibrant underpainting to give the feeling that light is filtering through the colors. The looseness of the brushwork and geometric shapes adds to the effect of what I am trying to achieve.

acrylic & pastel on wood 48 x 48 x 2" In summer 2022, I was invited to my neighbor’s house at midnight to watch the blooming of their Queen of the Night flower (also known the Dutchman’s pipe cactus). It blooms only once a year in the darkness of the night and withers in the morning. It was such a profound lesson to me that nature allows such magnificence to occur in darkness. Applying this lesson to my own life, I was encouraged in my personal health challenges. Even in the hardships and darkness, I should continue fighting because beauty flourishes even in the most adverse of circumstances.

diptyque acrylic painting on canvas with 3D elements 24 x 40 x 2" My mixed media work is about the memory and feeling of joy. During recent health challenges (a mastectomy, chemo and radiation), I waited for 33 days for my oncology radiation treatments in a beige space without windows or artwork. After recovering, I received some paintings from a show in Connecticut. I offered to hang my pieces in the radiation oncology space. Most of my work is large and tropical in theme (we lived in Hawaii for many years), but it also includes pieces inspired from our world travels. I have received many letters, emails and comments from patients and staff alike as to how much better they feel in the space. It is a testament to the power of art and of giving back.

painting 24 x 36 x 2" My painting "Kindred Spirits" bridges the gap between animals and humans. In my painting, Mwenda, a keeper in Kenya, says good-bye to his magnificent friend, Sudan, the last Northern White male Rhino. They are kindred spirits who blend together, just like their colors blend. Their curved forms are shared, heavy with a shared grief and unspoken love and respect. Together they form "Kindred Spirits" teaching Humanity lessons of extinction and lessons of Love with Sudan's last breath.

mixed media on Arches paper 30 x 22" Every Tuesday I spend time with a friend with Vascular Dementia. Just before her diagnosis she asked me to teach her to draw. Immediately, in spite of no experience at all, it was clear that she had outstanding talent. Her illness has robbed her of this gift and the opportunity of certain NAWA membership. How she would have loved this sisterhood and its sharing of ideas, joy, respect, and strength. This piece shows her feeling of disappearing, but mostly it is about our shared sorrow.

watercolor on Yupo 20 x 19" Recently I have been working on Yupo paper with my watercolors. This piece is a still life from my flower garden. I like the fluid effects that happen on the yupo substrate and the challenge to control the direction of the painting. It can be abstract in feel but still very realistic to the viewer.

acrylic paint 48 x 30 x 1.5" There are moments when the majesty of gigantic trees reflected in the water causes me to stop in my tracks, taking in the beauty and the stillness. In an almost magical flow, this painting emerged from my memories of such moments.

mixed media including thread, various papers, linen, gold leaf, paint, pencils & pens 56 x 48" Petroglyphs, architecture, graffiti, scrolls, codices – examples of our collective human urge to leave an imprint, tell a story, mark our time. These relics are a historical record with a tenacious existence. Think the caves of Lascaux, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the tagged surfaces of train cars. My work speaks to this human urge for mark leaving, referring to an enduring historical record while simultaneously becoming a part of it. Drawing on ideas of the intersection between written language and spirituality, this piece is constructed, deconstructed and reassembled into an intimate and ephemeral account of our shared history, our difficult present and our uncertain future.

collage; newsprint, dyed papers, recycled plastics and sashiko stitching with a vintage wood clotheshanger 36 x 17 x 3" "OMG” is a part of a series called "Woman is Boss", that makes art from the past, present. Japanese women from vintage newspapers and a 1937 travel book are shown in more submissive roles compared to women as they are viewed now. The name is derived from the facial expression of the large standing female figure on the left side viewing the female images around her. Inspiration came from repurposing a plastic commercial swimsuit hanger. This series of artworks utilizes recycled plastics, dyed papers as well as ancient newspapers, antique buttons and Sashiko stitching to create art using the female torso hanger shape.

watercolor on paper mounted on board 60 x 40 x 1" "The Nurturers" is expressing many women's proclivity towards caring for others throughout their lives. Even when women have aging parents &/or adult children, many of us tend to have a penchant to provide support & caregiving to those in need.

acrylic, airbrush, alcohol ink, oil pastel 40 x 48 x 1.5" Our world sometimes seems to be buffeted by forces beyond our grasp or comprehension. This diptych is informed by the "weather" of culture, politics, religion, differing ideologies. Much like a meteorologist might follow radar maps to stay informed on what's coming, sometimes the "weather" can still take us by surprise. Will it be sunny and predictable? Will it be turbulent and stormy? Looking at daily life through this filter, allows me some solace in letting go of things over which I have no control (like the real weather).

mixed media oil painting 42 x 28 x 2" My work in general hints at what is behind the eyes, the flesh and what we recognize as being human. Our bodies are bound by the laws of nature but our souls are not. Moon Garden draws us into the natural world to be lit up by the light of the moon, surrounded by flowers that bloom at night while becoming an intimate part of nature herself.

photography 27 x 18" By manipulating light sources, imagery, and time, I create a sense of time travel in each frame. Through the use of vintage source material juxtaposed with modern LED lights, I create a striking tension between old and new. My work is centered around experimentation and the unexpected. The in-camera collage of the moon goddess Selene and her chariot, for example, came to life only after the 30 second exposure was complete and I played back the frame. This approach to photography allows me to push the boundaries of what's possible, creating images that are as surprising as they are beautiful and evoking a sense of wonder while transporting the viewer to another time and place.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 x 2" Kane's work always begins with line(s) of many types. Lines build upon lines to create a sense of volume and depth. Sometimes the result is recognizable visually. Sometimes, as in "Mixed Lineage", the visual result may not be immediately recognizable as a thing. Your perception of this image is your own. I hope you enjoy this piece and smile.

acrylic 48 x 60 x 1.5" Nature, for me, is a constant source of inspiration. This pink jungle has many paths to travel. Playfully we encounter many different animals throughout this landscape, even a dog with green dancing shoes! Being in nature reminds me of the paradox of our own complexity and our own smallness. Our feeling both small and vast in the natural world leads to stillness. In the stillness, we become aware of our inner light. This is the light of our true nature and our sacred heart. May all beings cultivate joy along this path to true enlightenment.

glazed stoneware 17 x 6 x 6" After the pandemic I was feeling protective of myself and my friends and family. I had been doing nudes for a long time, but it didn't feel appropriate anymore. I made a series of these sentinels. They are combined thrown and modeled forms. i see them as entities that will look over us and out for us. Making them made me feel better.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 83 x 1.5" Dead Zone I, published in the print edition of the international literary an arts journal, Still Point Arts Quarterly XI, was inspired by media reports of agricultural and industrial runoffs occurring in deltas, estuaries, lakes, rivers and oceans worldwide. Add in climate change acidifying and warming the waters, the end results are low oxygen levels that lead to reproduction problems in sea life, reduction of the population of large fish and suffocation of marine life. There may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Scientists have stated that dead zones due to human activity are reversible if their causes are reduced or eliminated. Surely a challenge and an uphill battle.

photography/digitally manipulated 16 x 24 x 1" On the surface, the digital images in Judy's Under the Big Top portfolio portray circus troupes as glamorous, athletic, and cooperative. Further thought reveals deeper truths, such as commitment to disciplined practice produces impressive results. In "En Garde!" a clown models resilience despite adversity and imperfection, a way to grow from failure and heal through self-recognition and laughter. Although a clown may be ill-prepared and quivering with fear, he still bravely shows up.

acrylic on canvas 48 x 65" When people get married, they are in love and feel like on the cloud. But marriage life takes a lot more than feeling good. It also takes resistance, keeping the promise, forgiveness, etc. My painting is composed to show the contrast between the love high and the reality of married life. "The Kiss of Rodin" is painted on the cloud as a symbol of a trance moment of love while holding hands over letters of troubles of married life showing the physical and emotional tie of a married couple.

oil on canvas 48 x 36 x 1.3" My abstract work reflects personal experiences depicted without naturalistic objects. After painting a series of highly-structured, static, mostly gray compositions, I created "Breach" in a series called "Chaos." My world had gone from inertia to movement and color and disorder. "Breach" shows water breaking through rocks surrounded by coral and other sea life in an underwater scene. Though there is destruction and chaos, there is also beauty and joyousness.

pastel on paper, mounted photograph 50 x 103 x 3" My assemblages: pastel on paper and mounted photographs, are created by layering juxtaposing elements: nature vs. glitter. The viewers are immersed into my glowing, dazzling world of color, light, dimension and beauty. I create these stills by combining the elements: photographs of the landscape in seasons and detailed photographs of glowing or glittering moments . The paralleling objects are added to accentuate these phenomena. These compelling compositions are the culmination of many carefully executed steps that define my unique creative process. My intent is to captivate the audience and lure them into my world of undeniable beauty.

colored pencil on paper 10.75 x 14.5 x 1" The original inspiration for Currents/Countercurrents was a view of wildly rushing waters flowing over a multitude of rocks in a pool of lake water. Each second I observed them, water would flood in anew to present more and more complex patterns. As I began to draw, vibrating colors akin to Op Art began to occur. I emphasized these, as well as building up the color in almost impasto effects adding to the frenzy. As the drawing progressed, it expressed additional meanings of the temper of the times.

embroidery and felting 13 x 10" This is one of a series called “Ariadne Slept Here” showing Ariadne in current locales, a spinner who can help us escape the modern Minotaurs. Bonnie MacAllister renders in figurative embroidery, handspun threads, globally sourced farm wools and fibers, and recycled textiles. The language of textiles is also that of connection, threading together identity, history, biology, and personal experience. My portraits on handmade felt are created from an original figure drawing, transformed into needlepoint, bounded and knotted with each physical perforation, a gesture of self-healing, promoting mindfulness.

acrylic 30 x 40" Karlene explores memories and perceptions of the natural world through her colorful, gestural paintings. She uses shapes and lines to mimic organic forms found in nature, playing with positive and negative space and layers of paint to build up a sense of atmosphere on a flat plane. Her work is also fueled by bursts of color. While not true to life, her palette creates a conversation between cool and warm tones and serves to energize her compositions.

oil 38 x 40 x 1.75" This painting is the beginning of a new series limiting the color palette. It tells the story of living in a place I love. My inspiration is the beauty of the city that keeps moving amongst its iconic structures and deep shadows. Daylight is used to outline both the buildings and people. I have always been a fan of antique silhouettes. They illustrate a history of fashion and stature in the most simple form. Fast forward to my version of silhouettes 2023.

mixed media 32 x 24 x 3" Contemplating the graphic nature of quilts, I decided to use that concept for a mixed media piece using old photos of my family. I manipulated a photo of myself by turning it into a black-and-white jpg cut and rearranged it to become a graphic outline. I sewed some photos onto the paper with antique buttons, and used tracing paper to "cloud" some of the memories and outline. I continued the stereotype of using quilts as decoration and made the frame to hang the project.

oil, gouache, pastel, on Arches oil paper 34 x 34 x 1.5" I create portraits of military spouses in mixed media. These paintings, which lean on drawing, display layered surfaces that disrupt and entwine with figures- representing the relentless cycle of moving and starting over. This figurative work revels in the immediacy, intensity, and expressiveness that drawing provides while exploring mark-making and surfaces. These qualities add tension between the figures and background while visually representing the struggle of spouses to not lose their individuality in lives dictated by another's military career. While being a military spouse is a tremendous honor, these portraits are an expression of their psychological space and tumultuous lives.

acrylic and mixed media on stretched canvas 48 x 48 x 1.5" As a native Swede I have always felt a strong connection to the ancient Scandinavian and Nordic culture and rituals, passed down from generation to generation in the form of poems, sagas and the ancient written alphabet Runes. I translate my memories from my childhood into textured layered paintings; ; weaving layers upon layers of paint, graphite, pigments, marks and symbols. My artistic journey is somewhere at the confluence of the removing and adding layers, the destroying and creating, and the notion that time is a reflection of change and inadvertently leaves an imprint.

acrylic on canvas 36 x 36 x 2" I’m interested in notions of landscape that focus on shallow water systems in both natural and man-made environments. The work combines representational and abstract approaches for a dialogue that addresses complexity and metaphor and which celebrates the intuitive response across painting, sculpture, drawing and print media. Composed Shallow (Three Leaves) proposes an intimate experience of a natural water system where familiar color, structure, and perspective are replaced and re-ordered.

oil on panel 17 x 25" Portraits afford an opportunity to paint light and compelling form, as well as explore wide-ranging emotive qualities.. Each work is about what the face portrays, In painting individuals at different ages and life stages I am also engaging themes of temporal change, individual vulnerability and human mortality. Moments of strength, decency, calm or vulnerability; traces of pain, self protection, openness, or glimmers of hopefulness, pride and earnestness are lurking in these faces. I am engaging with the enigmatic. The difficult and satisfying challenge in my portraiture is to portray some truth and in so doing to suggest our complex humanity and shared experience.

opalstone on granite 15 x 20 x 6" This sculpture was created in 2020 after George Floyd was murdered. My work often involves archetypal images like Sheela-na-gigs and vultures. The vulture harkens to the ancient Egyptian goddess Nekhbet. The vulture was the first image I saw in the stone. The Black Lives Matter protests in Portland continued for 100 nights. At one point, a nude white woman postured as a Sheela-na-gig, displaying her vulva toward the police. For me, she was the perfect back of the vulture as the vulture was the perfect front for the Sheela. Combined, they gave me hope for a new future.

linocut 20 x 16 x 1" My prints reflect my lifetime fascination with the eternal truths and beauty found in the natural world. I find these in the grace and elegance of living forms and the majesty of scenic landscapes. I channel them into a personal visual statement. Each print is the result of an idea, a narrative that forms in my mind, which I execute as a design. Then there is the challenge of cutting the image into the plate and printing the edition. Cutting each plate provides a new learning experience.

photography 28.5 x 24" Around the Keukenof Gardens, you will find the most beautiful tulip fields in the Netherlands. The designers' arrangements of the tulips excited me. Beautiful yellows, reds, pinks, purples, and whites transformed into a magnificent painting. I was inspired to create with my camera my interpretation of the tulips. Using a Topaz filter, I was able to push and pull the colors of the tulips until I was satisfied that the Explosion of colors were perfect. I want the viewer to experience my image so that it will enhance your imagination and lift your spirit. I hope that what I have seen through my heart becomes visible through your eyes.

oil on canvas 20 x 24" “Just Before the Stars Come Out” speaks of the end of the day; when the moon is up, just before the stars are readily visible. That sky has the most beautiful shade of royal blue, like lapis lazuli. It only lasts for a moment but is such magic. “I often find myself painting in two’s – such as the two chairs or two lampposts. It suggests a story, and I’ve been told it’s romantic.” I work both from direct observation of nature and from imagination. My work is about color and feelings. The thrill for me in painting lies in the countless possibilities of the interjection of a single stroke of color, upon color. My art is my effort to capture a moment and preserve the uniqueness of it.

oil on oil primed linen 40 x 30 x 2" Inspired by a recurring dream, I am interested in past experiences and how they mold and form who we become. Childhood memories are often the source of meaning and inspiration for my work. I use a shallow space and multiple perspectives in my compositions, working partly from life and partly imagination. All imagery has a specific meaning to me personally but I do not wish to embed a narrative in the painting. The inspiration serves only as an excuse to make the painting.

acrylic on canvas 48 x 60" I like soft colors and ways to find “safe passage” through the canvas, in the same way that we all maneuver through life and find our way. I want to create a feeling of depth, with forms intertwining, like stories of individuals in a city full of people. I strive to create contrast, vibrant interaction, raised and recessed surfaces, glossy and matte combined finishes. Life is a little like a puzzle and we all have to find our way to make the pieces fit. Intuitively, I convey my feelings in a particular painting, depending on my situation at the time… exploring the way shapes intersect in life and the way we sometimes hide the obvious behind a mask.

oil & cold wax on wood panel 20 x 20" This painting was one of my first pieces upon moving to South Carolina. I was inspired by the ever-changing sky as a storm approached along the Intracoastal waterway. This is my first piece using cold wax. I used the cold wax to blend the colors and sought to achieve the glow in the sky. The cold wax was integral in creating the reflections in the water.

collage 40 x 50" I am fascinated by the mythic concept of one’s daimon, or spiritual companion. According to Plato, the daimon acts as a carrier of our destiny. I refer to these companions as “the Grandmothers” and wonder how do they manage? Where do they reside? How do they carry such an important weight both physically and emotionally? While softly swinging in my hammock, the feeling of a vessel gliding effortlessly through the cosmos came to me. These boat-like vehicles developed into soul sleds. They are the agent from which the Grandmothers run the show and watch over us. Exploring the ideas of one's soul journey is my work's focus.

oil on linen 24 x 36 x 1.5" This painting is inspired by my walks with my dog Bodhi. He's a spirited energetic animal so it was a rare opportunity to catch him in a contemplative moment In this painting, I feel that Bodhi is enjoying nature in a similar way to me, but with different sensations, including his exquisite sense of smell, and touch. The painting reflects my sense that as humans, we are part of nature, and having an experience with a different species can enhance our appreciation of the world around us.

watercolor & gouache on polypropylene 27.25 x 33.25 x 1.5" The Italian word “capriccio” has various definitions: playful; whimsical; fanciful notion; an instrumental free form composition, usually lively in tempo and brilliant in style; characterized by unpredictable, sudden turns and changes were my muses for this painting. If ever a word described the Italian spirit, this is that word. It is the word that inspired the playground of the Roman emperors – Capri. “Capriccio” expresses all the definitions simultaneously. Using only the elements of art in a non-narrative composition afforded me the opportunity to take a capriciously joyful approach in my artistic interpretation of the word and the joyful Italian spirit and overall approach to life.

collage on canvas 24 x 18 x 1" When I was working on this series I felt that these faces starring back at me were powerful and fierce and I wondered where was I going with these images. They slowly evolved by the addition of several symbolic images- Crosses, Birds & feathers. Crosses dividing the face - We are all two spirits the good and evil, the yes & no. Birds - I put birds on the eyes- Birds eye view of life! They are soaring through the sky with their eyes wide open! I like the old saying “See the soul through ones eyes” Feathers: In different Native American communities, the feather has many different meanings. It represents wisdom, spirituality, honor, respect, energy and also represents the sky and air.

cast handmade paper wall sculpture 96 x 96 x 14" I am fascinated with the topography of landscapes, full of complex lines shapes, colors and textures. I create staged landscapes defined by human presence. With forced perspective I invite the viewer to enter my landscapes of Illusions and fantasy. Playing with the mind, scale, pocket openings, and crevices evoke a sensibility of self in-space. A call for a consciousness.

paste & ink on Arches paper 42 x 108" Quoddy I was created in the summer of 2022. I drove to downeast Lubec, Maine and over several days, I made ten "walk and draw" studies as I explored the trail there. There is a strong Japanese inspiration here in the simplified shapes. At the same time, in almost a cubist manner, I combine different views into one sweeping, overall view. The sunset in the back shows this shift of time and color. I also add Japanese kanji into the piece, to flatten the space and add eternal meanings. The ink is added after blending 20 layers of pastel.

acrylic 20 x 16" Bold hydrangeas always attract my attention. For this painting, I was inspired by dappled late afternoon sunlight falling among hydrangea blooms. Warm colors capture the fleeting late summer sun. Already a few leaves gather at the base of the steps, suggesting the change of seasons. The iconic green striped awnings and door hark back many decades, adding a sense of timelessness to this cottage near Alexandria Bay, New York. On a whim, I added a single hydrangea peeking from the window on the left to balance the composition and suggest the owner's touch.

acrylic painting 40 x 30 x 1.5" My freehand, hard-edged abstract, sculptural form floats within a harmonized color field. I created my color pair with techniques used by figurative painters to give atmospheric perspective to landscapes and depth to objects in space. Can you sense the depth? Sentinel is a regal abstraction, placidly on guard. My signature tiny golden heart rests on the underside of the canvas, a talisman of joy, hope, and love. I varnished her with a matte finish. A minimal white wooden float frame and a small portal to view the golden heart can be added to this painting.

gouache and mixed media on paper 46 x 35" I create abstract paintings on paper where color and chaos collide. Each painting weaves it way to its desired end. It is complete when it feels right. I work with marks, color and gesture to engage the eye in a visual dance and remain open to the unexpected.

wood 11 x 10 x 8" I am a gatherer. Fallen wood waits for me. Sticks, twigs, branches, and bark fill my arms and backpack while hiking. In the studio, I carve, burn, and apply color using colored pencils. Each piece reveals itself as I work. Beetle tracks on the carved blue sticks read as ancient secret text.

acrylic & oil on cradled hardboard 24 x 24" Flowers invite universal questions of existence and purpose in their quest for survival, eventual senescence and rebirth. My floral artwork is inspired by the gardens surrounding my studio and In addition, by the images of the beauty and complexity of our universe as captured by NASA. Embedded in these Micro and Macrocosm depictions of our universe are the stirrings of conversation regarding interconnectedness and co-existence.

mixed: paper on canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5" Millennium olive trees have grown in what was historically Canaan for thousands of years, some living today are as old as 3,500 years. They provide sustenance and livelihood to its historic residents. Israeli "settlers" have illegally bulldozed them to build compounds in the historically Palestine territory, affecting both the livelihood and culture established in the 5th century BC.

oil 30 x 24 x 2" I am fascinated by light reflected on glass and water. One of my goals is to be able to render it impressionistically in oil paint. The glass box was made by my father who has passed away, so the scene held a double challenge for me as artist. I wished to pay a tribute to his artistry with my own.

acrylic on canvas 20 x 20 x .5" Statement for new works. Layering and revealing what is underneath is the basis of this new direction in my painting. This is in line with what I have always sought, the subconscious manifesting itself in the conscious execution of my work. Striping gradually evolved as a device to create a surface layer that must be penetrated to find the hidden core, the third dimension in a two dimensional work.

mixed media 24 x 30 x 2.25" I am fascinated by the interaction between the surface of water and what lies beneath. As more of our planet experiences flooding the interaction becomes more profound. The sea stories and secrets held just under the mirror like surface tension are mysteries and chrinicles of not only history but possibly the future.

unique photo transfer technique with intaglio print 21 x 17" My husband and I went to a fundraiser for the Litchfield Jazz Camp in Connecticut, and there was a young man playing with the adults in the ensemble that was entertaining. I was so impressed with his playing that I took a few photos. I have used this unique photo transfer technique, which mimics aquatint (sort of- not purely of course), because I like the texture and unpredictability of it. I created a drypoint intaglio plate to superimpose over the photo transfer, and this is the result. There is jazz music around me all the time, so musical themes are some of the subject matter in my artwork. I enjoy the challenge of showing something purely aural in a visual way.

watercolors and fluid acrylics 24 x 28 x 1" This “Ghost story…” epitomizes the perpetuity of time’. A woman's experiences flow like water. Our adventures can be charted seen ebbing from the past and streaming towards the future. Tenaciously, we live and as we tally up experiences, adapting our stories to make our lives work, our memories resiliently swing from the past to become optical illusions for the present.

monotype 21.5 x 17.5" My piece "Wandering Triangle" is one of a series of monotypes where I have experimented with movement and abstraction. Monotypes are often called "the painters's print" because they are a free, easy and fluid technique. People have often commented on how much directional motion they observe in both my prints and paintings. This may emerge from the fact that I am a dancer in addition to being a visual artist. In this case, the triangle subject seems to take a multi-dimensional journey as we all do in life.

watercolor and mixed media 18 x 14 x 1" I am an abstract painter, and I work primarily in watercolors with mixed media elements. I’m inspired by the interplay of colors, shapes, and uneven lines, and I love the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor paints. I work very intuitively: I always have a starting point - a particular color combination or focal point - but then I just go wherever inspiration leads me, often surprising myself! Painting is the best therapy I know. It brings me peace, balance, and joy, and it helps me maintain an even keel in our uncertain times. My Blue Heaven is a reminder to find intentional moments of gratitude.

acrylic 21 x 17 x 1" I have always been interested in the stories of women who create. Whatever the medium is--poetry, fiction, non-fiction, painting, sculpture, music--wherever the muse takes them. My own artistic career has been varied, with writing fiction, non-fiction (journalism) and painting taking precedence. A passion for photography has led to an interest in expressionistic portraiture, using photographs of artists, past and present, as a springboard for my own painting. Some believe that a photograph lies as it only captures a moment but what can be read in that moment has helped me in my own search for the truth behind the image., which has led to my Strong Women series.

photograph 26 x 26 x 1.5" Inspired by Andy Warhol, the range of expressions in this quad was captured through conversation while exploring the idea, What is Female? I would offer that the best version of ourselves is not chromosomal assignment, but an enlightened combination of the feminine and masculine traits that we all possess, which are clearly visible in our expressions, and shared in our daily interactions with one another.

cast concrete, reclaimed materials, and pigments 3.75 x 10 x 2" In an attempt to adapt to the onslaught of changes being done to the environment by humans, nature is increasingly creating hybrid forms that fuse the man-made with the natural. These hybrids, like many of products we consume, are simultaneously compelling and toxic. Using these new life forms as inspiration, I create uncanny forms intended to suggest an animated fusion of the organic and the industrial. All of these fusions represent an artificial reality that is a hallmark of our anthropocene age. My work is an exploration of the legacy of our current lifestyle and its effects on our world.
