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.

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.

fresco, salvaged wood on panel 30 x 24" I’m constantly “puzzling” pieces together, whether in the studio, in nature, or in an urban environment; repeatedly picking things up and rearranging them. I’m fascinated with the interplay of contrasting materials and, at times, the contrast within those very materials. In this work, there is a juxtaposition of warm and cool colors, as well as warm and cool materials. There is also a juxtaposition within the elements, with the warmer colors in the cool, smooth texture of the plaster, and the cooler color in the warm, rough texture of the wood. From these relationships, a dialogue is born. I think this dialogue is what enables a work to resonate as both simple and complex, simultaneously.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 36" I was working on a series of Memories, and I pictured a persons' brain thinking about people of the past, and on the side a group of people that brought to her the memory.

acrylic on canvas 14 x 11 x 1" Inspired by 17th century Dutch still lifes. This painting is symbolic. The quail eggs and feathers symbolize the spring, the hope and a new beginning. Artist combines bright light with delicate colors and finds a sensitive balance in the seemingly haphazard arrangement of objects.

clay, paints and stains 11.5 x 12 x 11" How do we care for our oceans and the animals that inhabit them? What makes one species more important than another? This sculpture is a gentle reminder of the amazing animals in our oceans and how we must care for the animals who have no voice.

glazed terracotta 15 x 11 x 9" Faith that nature will always rebound after devastation is my inspiration. In the throes of current natural phenoma: fires along the West Coast and miles of forest destroyed, floods, landslides, late season snowstorms paralyzing the Midwest, tornadoes... but with the conviction that all the negative is surely cyclical, I pursue my art -- aware, and hopeful that although the work may document the times I can convey the spirit of hope that golden days await ahead ---

oil on canvas 24 x 20 x .7" When I was little, I thought that all people and animals are friends. I still think, that we are all together on this Earth moving somewhere. In my painting I wanted to show the beauty and power of a rhino, and a human, who completely trusts his rhino companion. I created a night sky background, to emphasize two characters. The road, that they are taking is foggy and radiant, to maintain a mystical experience. This artwork is one of a kind. Made with high-quality professional oil paint on a gallery wrapped canvas. Painting is signed / dated on both front and back. Painted sides, unframed and ready to hang.

watercolor 35 x 28 x 1" The inspiration is the plethora of late summer-plantings in the St-Michel-de-Cuxa Cloister at The Cloisters Museum in northern Manhattan. My intent was to convey the contrast between the permanence of the 12th-century architectural elements and the fragile, transient essence of the blooms.

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.

acrylic on cradled wood panel 30 x 30 x 2.5" The descriptive and passionately written poem, "The Sea", by Ralph Waldo Emerson, was my inspiration for this painting. I strived to create a visual image that is as sweeping as his words! I chose to paint on natural wood and kept the sides of my painting natural, to coordinate with the organic subject matter. An integrate part of this piece is my calligraphy on all 4 sides of Emerson's words in brushstrokes of paint., harmonious with my impressionistic scene's colors, brushstrokes and mark making.

oil on panel 7 x 7 x 2" Books, as well as objects, tell a story and have a history. This painting celebrates the typewriter with a nod toward the nostalgia for things in the past we still hold dear. Virginia Woolf said, “Happiness is in the quiet, ordinary things.” I hope this work reflects that sentiment.

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/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.

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 17.5 x 21.5" As a young adult I read the book, Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The story stayed with me throughout my life, it was about "the deterioration of a woman's mental health while she is on a "rest cure" on a rented summer country estate with her family. Her obsession with the yellow wallpaper in her bedroom marks her descent into psychosis from her depression throughout the story." She would pick away at the wallpaper, creating images. Maybe it was the idea of what our minds are capable of, how much they can lead us in one direction or another. From elation to depression. My painting reflects both sides of this experience.

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.

screen-printed 20 x 20" After five years of persistent statewide drought, rampant wildfires seemed to consume much of the formerly spectacular California landscape. Shortly thereafter the rains came, and formerly barren areas could not absorb the water. Such a paradox… too little water, too much water, in just three months’ time. Climate change is real.

watercolor and vinyl emulsions on paper 22 x 28 x 1" This piece was in response to a long hike on the Pacific Northwest Hurricane Ridge, in Washington State. We passed under the cathedral-like canopy of giant cedars, up trough the mist, and to the the top of the ridge overlooking the Pacific.

thread, rice paper, maps: McNally's System of Geography, 1868 16 x 20 x 3" In Wanderlust I, maps from geography books published in 1868 are cut and recombined. The carefully charted topographies, geographies, boundaries and coordinates are physically sliced, sewn, woven and layered - ultimately transformed and inviting new explorations. Layering the paper intuitively, responding to the existing cartographic renderings, allows for new territories to form. A unique perspective of mapping the world is depicted utilizing the antique materials. In the geography books from the 1800's the observations of the world provides a record of our long held fascination and curiosity for lands beyond. That drive to search for understanding continues to capture our imaginations.

oil on garments mounted to board 20 x 16 x 2" I create canvases of deconstructed garments that I enrich with paint application. My works regard the dressing table in metaphor reflecting qualities of the feminine, aspects of womanhood, and identity. This piece is from a series of vignettes about the depth of emotions a female may experience reflecting in the mirror; thoughts she may have about life. Addressing the vanity as a place where one creates one-self; a study of women’s practices acts as an investigation into self and personality. Often appearing as stage-sets, vanities become theatrical platforms to speak to the evolution of femininity and the way we tear ourselves to live within what is socially accepted as feminine.

photography 14 x 11" In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in the natural environment, providing moments of serenity. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. After several overcast days on Amelia Island, the sun finally burst out for a beautiful sunset. I then rushed out to capture this particular image in the enchanting light about a half hour before sunset. I printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the image.

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.

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.

stone 20 x 9 x 9" Bodhisattva embodies two defining aspects of my life. It reflects my earlier interest as a Buddhist scholar and my concern for the environment in our global effort to recycle and reuse unwanted materials. The piece is made out of an old building stone discarded during renovation and other salvaged items from Community Forklift, a non-profit reuse center in the DC area. Vowing to promote spiritual awakening and save all beings, the bodhisattva aspires to enlightenment for the good of others.

cut canvas, acrylic, collage mounted on panel 29 x 17 x 2" My Off the Wall series are experimental, dimensional, sculptural works that hang on the wall. These pieces reflect my aim to breakaway from traditional 2D canvas and paper surfaces. I like to "destroy" or "violate" these traditional surfaces in order to discover new working platforms that stimulate my way of seeing and interacting with each unexpected outcome.

oil on panel 14.25 x 14.25 x .75" I love to paint little vignettes of everyday life. I have a bookshelf in my home studio that has my art books and little items that I love. One day as I was walking by it caught my eye and I took a some photos. This is one of 2 paintings that I have done of my book shelf. They feature "cameos" of favorite artists.

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!

sharpie marker on paper 11 x 10" This work on paper illustrates the beauty of movement in stillness as observed through the captivating gesture of a singular insect.

acrylic 21.5 x 27.5 x 1.25" This painting is from my earlier series of Still Life paintings. Having grown up on my parent's dairy farm surrounded by nature's beauty which included my Mom's flower garden with seemingly unending blossoms and her vegetable gardens. Mom's vegetables such as squash and cucumber had such sculptural leaves and gerbera daisy leaves remind me of them. This painting makes visual my growing up experience described above, made visual through integral connections of music, intuition, and meditations over many moments in time.

charcoal 28 x 18 x 1" I raced home after witnessing the total envelopment of a familiar coastline across Oyster Bay from West Neck Beach. I usually study from life for inspiration for my abstractions but this night I simply wanted to record and pay homage how uplifted and untethered I felt seeing hints of a familiar shore and knowing just where I was. I immediately made two pieces and this particular one bears mark like seagulls feet as we often see them in the sand but they (the marks) give the impression of waves softly crashing into the shore. The symbolic abstraction of the creatures who inhabit this place, being present in the marks was a surprise and a delight.

photography and gold leaf gilding 13 x 15" While wandering through Paris at dawn, I spotted the beautiful monument placed so artfully at the end of a Parisian street. I had to capture the essence of what I saw at that location with the bicycles placed on the bottom left portion of the scene and Marianne of France at center stage as the star of the show. Marianne is the symbol for France like our Statue of Liberty.

oil 24 x 30 x 1.25" I fell in love with Italy many years ago, and have returned a few times. There is so much beauty in the landscape, their sculptures, the piazzas and museums. So a year ago I traveled to Florence (again), Lake Como and Cinque Terre. Taking photos always holds the memories of the trip for me. I chose a photo from Cinque Terre as inspiration for my painting. The lighting was perfect for an afternoon, the boats were moored after a day of work, and two people sitting and chatting completed the scene.

I feel we all have a responsibility to protect and bring awareness to all endangered and threatened species so that generations to come can enjoy their beauty.
