metal print with AI-assisted image 20 x 20" The Trust In Me series came about as a motivating manifestation. Like all artists, I go through the phases of extreme self-criticism. Moving to another city, to another country, you can’t help but start comparing yourself to others. You think you are not doing enough. You are not enough. In order to create freely you need to be connected with yourself. Spending more time alone and reflecting helps to hear that inner voice. Only YOU can know what to do next. I named each work in honor of women who in my opinion changed or magically touched the art world, As part of a series this work represents J. K. Rowling.

acrylic on panel 18 x 18" My My Blueberry Pie is about a favorite memory shared with my mom who is 94. Every summer we watch the hummingbirds on the porch at the lake. We get in our kayaks and paddle to a little island that is loaded with blueberries. We pick in silence, except for the sound of the birds, waves and boats. I look over and my mom is happy as a clam as she climbs deeper and deeper into the blueberry bush. We bring our stash home, clean them. We find the recipe, earmarked in our camp journal, written in my mother's handwriting. Realizing with a smile we have omitted the main ingredient. We work in tandem making the pie. We savor every bite back on the porch with the hummingbirds. Summer has arrived.

oil on canvas 13.25 x 13.25 x 2.5" A lone flapping curtain tossed by the wind could be a commentary on the fragility of life or a sign of optimism. Looming and moving clouds cast an eye on the measure of the progress of our existence on earth. Proffered shelter in the warmth of the buildings renew our hope for the future.

photography 18 x 24" While photographing one very cold morning in New York City, I noticed a woman approaching half a block away.. She reminded me of my sister. Using some plastic sheeting hanging from a doorway as a filter I made an image at a slow shutter speed. Upon returning home I found it. There she was. My sister never said goodbye as I had arrived too late.that fateful day. This felt like my moment to do so.

freehand digital painting, archival ink on canvas 24 x 30 x 1.5" “Never Again” is my response to Roe v. Wade being overturned. In this painting we see a scared, young woman being escorted to a clinic. One of the escorts holds up a hanger with the bottom wire twisted to read “never again.” My fear is that abortions will once again become deadly. In reality, this only affects lower income girls and women as those more financially secure will just go to other states or countries.

gouache & Carand'Ache NeoColorsII on oleo paper 14.625 x 18.62 x 1.5" Having a vantage point away from people can give you the opportunity to really "study and see" the life happening around you. As an artist, this is very important and inspirational. The medium, gouache and Carand'Ache ll Aquarelle colors, gives an immediate opportunity to express and create the artwork. It lays down fast and dries quickly. I hope this piece, "Sunday morning at Track5, Coffee Shop", draws you in to really observe the painting. The "Characters" enjoying coffee under the moody warm lighting, seeming to create a movie like set. The fun of being so close, yet in your own space. Sometimes having nothing more in common than that morning brew & conversation. Enjoy!

acrylic, archival repurposed artist's rags, 23.5k gold leaf 10 x 10 x 3" At eight, when studying oil painting, I knew I would speak through my art. I have always been passionate about the beautiful palette of human diversity and nature, but also empathetic to the struggles of humanity and the vulnerability of all life forms. My decades long art career has been dedicated to making art about these passions. I observe and research for each painting. Something as small as a fruit fly, a beautiful human head, or a magnificent winter landscape seen from the train as I travel between my studios in Pittsburgh and NYC can inspire a large, multifaceted painting that combines human diversity, Mother Nature, and often the global struggles of women.

relief print with chine-colle 11 x 14 x 1" This is a view from my studio building, using real and imagined colors. I constructed the collagraph plate with multiple layers of cardboard and string. Initially conceived as a print in black and white, I am inspired to add color using chine-colle. In this piece I roll out the ink first, apply glue to each piece of colored paper, then place the individual papers colored side down on the inked plate. The print paper is then placed on top of the plate, where the ink will now transfer to the colored papers, and the colored papers will adhere to the print paper. I hand rub, and finally pull the print from the plate. I am having so much fun playing with a variety of color combinations!

oil on canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5" This painting, like many other of my paintings conveys a visceral experience of a place, rather than describing its likeness. The painting itself evolves from a synthesis of memory, imagination and the process of painting itself. Natural elements are expanded or reduced as I layer on glazes of color. The layered veils of color reflect a fragile luminous quality.

mica rock, fiber and molding paste, acrylics on wood cradle board 12 x 16 x 2" My inspiration came from challenging myself using unusual materials that I already had and a subject that I’ve never selected before. Working on a wooden cradle board, I glued on thin transparent layers of mica rock. A small palette knife with fiber and molding pastes were used to create the textured feathers. Acrylic pants completed the bas relief painting. I surprised myself with the results because I did not know if the combination would work.

acrylic 16 x 20 x 2" I am often inspired to paint by the skies lit above and around me. Seasonal changes, daily shifting cloud shows, spectacular displays of color with dawn and the setting sun remind me to pause and take note....this moment....this very one will never happen again.

bronze 13 x 12 x 4.5" My first job after college was as a graphic designer in Lexington, Ky. Having ridden my whole life, I always wanted to train a young horse. A friend said, you have to see this colt, he’s headed to the kill pens. I paid the kill price, he’d never been handled, came right over to me, & followed me. 18 mo. old and he knew. He walked right on the trailer. For almost 20 years, Maximillion was my constant companion & soulmate through 3 states, new jobs, new relationships. Sane, willing and smart. Maximillion earned us many championships including National ones. He got sick one day, suddenly. He was almost twenty and retired, He didn’t make it through surgery. This sculpture is dedicated to him.

oil 30 x 30 x 2" My paintings speak of the accumulation of life experiences. The multi-faceted nature of that which is beautiful but sad, is evidenced by heavily textured surfaces with repeated scrapings, layers and metallic pigments. The surfaces draw the viewer to the mystery of what is hidden and to the artist's internal reflections. Radiant pigments counterbalance the rough textural terrain of the emotional landscape. They afford glimpses of lightness, mystery and joy.

acrylic 30 x 30 x 1.5" A native New Yorker who has recently moved full time to Montauk, NY, I find the extraordinary sunsets throughout the years changing seasons inspirational. Whether taking walks in the woods or on the beach, the light never disappoints. Camp Hero was a former Air Force Station in Montauk, now part of Camp Hero State Park. It was during a walk here at sunset that my mind's eye captured and remembered the forceful color explosion that turned into this painting.

photography 20.5 x 19 x 1.25" In many ways, "Mussels on Tray" reflects the “lightbulb moment” in the development of my art form. It signifies the point in time during which I realized that the assemblies I was making from collected seashells and marine-life specimens, could be conveyed in photographs - still life’s that took on an almost painterly quality, highlighting the rhythm and repeating patterns found in nature. They twist and turn, nestled in one another, reflecting the force of movement that brought them to the shore, not unlike the force of movement that brought me to the full-time pursuit of creative expression – losing my daughter 13 years ago, when she crossed the street for a school bus in Los Angeles.

mixed media encaustic collage on cradled board 24 x 24" As a society, we are filling the universe with all kinds of junk and my collections of the patterns inside security envelopes only take a tiny fraction out of the waste stream. The protective intention of these decorative patterns is to camouflage & shield financial information. From an endless supply I pick the patterns that appeal to me and cut the envelopes into hexagons. Painting, drawing, handmade paper, gilding and encaustic combine in layers —building pattern and color. I layer tirelessly and final works have a very different appearance and impact. Straw into gold—the hexagons, plus the flux & flow of hot encaustics, transforms the junk mail that endlessly fills my space.

conte crayon and ink on Sunset Velvet Rag 18 x 24 x 1" Perhaps in these times where we see women's rights being literally ripped away from us, we can be inspired by those in the past like Eleanor Roosevelt who battled the odds and never gave up -- she fought for us. Let's keep fighting with all we have, from protest marches to voting for change to electing a judicial body that speaks for us. We must use all the tools we have, including conte crayon on paper, to salute our heroines and ignite others to continue the good fight. The battle continues.

oil on canvas 18 x 24" This artwork was born right after Hurricane Sandy caused major devastation along its path. Seeing the destruction of her home and city, the artist found solace in her community's unity to rebuild. The artists went through personal hurricane around the same years, and her work is a tribute to a human spirit and strength. Using the Peacock as a symbol of resilience and beauty, she portrays a world where human can conquer even the most catastrophic events. Through her use of vibrant colors and intricate details, the artist captures the essence of this remarkable spirit, portraying a world in which even the darkest of moments can be transformed into a source of fortitude and inspiration.

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.

drypoint print 10 x 7 x .5" “Mistaken” is a drypoint print with watercolor and gouache highlights.

The figure (who nearly had her hand cut off in the process) looks back at the artist and viewer reproachfully.

acrylic, paper, and ink 19 x 25 x 1" On a trip to Costa Rica, I did some nature hikes with a local guide in the old-growth forests. He was terrific at spotting animals up in the trees. We would view them through a high-power spotting scope (similar to binoculars but with only one lens). I loved viewing the world through the microcosm of a small circle. It made me focus on a tiny aspect of the greater jungle around us, ignoring everything around me. As an artist, I also like to create that focused direction in my artwork. I lead the viewer to what I want them to see through color, shape, value, and line.

paper, sequins, acrylic 18 x 18 x 7/8" "Hanging Out" is an example of the collaboration between the artist and the work that often happens if the artist takes the time to listen. This piece began as a collage of a western landscape, but slowly a different image began to emerge. Initially the artist saw a torso similar to a headless Degas ballerina, then a sleeveless jump suit appeared that clearly was in need of a hanger.

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 on canvas/seed beads 24 x 24" Night Cover is from a body of work that is considering barriers. I am using stone walls as a metaphor for exclusion and inclusion. I ask the viewer to consider where one is positioned in relation to the wall -is one included or is one excluded? The painting is oil on canvas with the seed beads hand laid around the image. The beads are in the background but they come forward creating a visual tension-a tension that is reflected in the notion of walls/barriers.

acrylic, mirror, grout, tile, fabric, faux gold leaf 18 x 24 x 1" This piece speaks to being seen in an art way yes, but more in a human way. The ways in which being seen can heal and make us feel whole. The way being seen causes our light to shine. The way connection is facilitated when you tell another you see them. I think of my work as being of light. The reflective nature of the mirror creates a movement in light that interacts with its environment and viewer, I am hopeful in the most happy of ways.

Gomuban plate print, Akua ink 20 x 16 x 1" "Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere."- Phillip Guston

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.

hand-colored woodcut on canvas with embroidery 19 x 26" A lifelong fascination with sewing and construction led to working in the home sewing industry for many years.

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.

digital photography 22 x 18" This image was taken while walking down a street in NYC near University Square. I saw the image of advertisement for the bra and then noticed the reflection of the car and old building. At first I thought WOW - something old, something new, something borrowed (or rented like the car), but nothing blue. However, the reflection is what caught my eye., I have a series of work that captures reflections in water, windows and store fronts.

etching with chine collé 19 x 24 x 1" I am always excited to explore and conquer new printmaking techniques. In this case, the copper plate is inked, and Chine collé circles were cut out of gampi, kitakata papers, and suminagashi prints, which I made, and were glued on. Then a plum gampi backed it all. Creating and executing the process itself puts me into the zone, a meditative state, and stops time for me. My themes are the search for and expression of the spirit within, be it animals, landscapes, or spacescapes. I use color, contrast and composition to captivate and create an emotional response for the viewer.

acrylic/collage 14 x 11 x 1.5" Lately, my thoughts have been focusing on the cosmos. Perhaps it has something to do with turning 70?

steel 29 x 29 x 1" This wall-hanging sculpture is part of my new « Labyrinth series ». I played with flat bars in steel, drawing lines like labyrinths which speak about our internal human journey. In the process of shaping them, I loved using my strength only (no heat, no hammer). The lines are amplified by the play of light casting shadows on the wall and Her Way is an interactive sculpture, the viewer has the liberty to move all the characters within the labyrinth. Let your eyes follow the lines, and feel what narrative resonates the most for you.

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.
