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.

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.

acrylic on canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" My piece, "Irreconciliation," explores the uncomfortable experience of irreconcilability. In today's political climate, it is unfortunately an ever-present force. Through abstraction, the painting captures the dynamisms, complexities, contradictions and opposing forces resulting in irreconciliation, yet also depicts the seeds of possible conciliation, if only we could acknowledge them.

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.

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.

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?

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.
