For the past fourteen months, I have been mourning the death of my daughter. She taught middle school ancient history, and my current work connects to images from those times. That’s what’s led me to look at a schematic of the Biblical tabernacle in Jerusalem and make paintings based on it. Some of this work has focused on the scarlet, purple, and indigo veils that divide the three sections of the tabernacle. Making paintings with these references lets me feel connected to my daughter and is helping me process my grief.

The colored textiles represent individuals, families, communities and organizations. The white space is the distance and time between them. As we seem to be experiencing disconnection from the collective whole, this piece is about the energy and perhaps turmoil that is necessary to close the gap that divides us. The vintage textiles and color palette are a nod to the mid-century, when we were more connected to our communities yet fractioned as a society. It is history repeating itself through art.fiber 27 x 29 x 2"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I lived in Philadelphia only briefly decades ago, but in recent years I have had more than a few occasions to visit, thanks to the generosity of a local friend. I have taken advantage of those visits to sketch, paint and photograph various sites around the city. My paintings of South 9nth Street, the Italian Market's main drag, are my most successful efforts to date to capture the essence of one of Philadelphia's neighborhoods. I like the area's historic status and distinct character: It looks impervious to the development that is so prevalent in much of the city these days. Although, there are indications that this neighborhood too will give way to new construction.acrylic on canvas 15 x 19 x 2"

General Sherman burned it down in the Revolutionary War in 1865. This image was created by using a fully converted digital infrared camera with a filter of 590 nm giving some red and blue color along with the infrared wavelengths of light displayed. I chose to gild this with 24kt gold leaf to create the blue/green of the sky and to accentuate the antiquity and beauty of this ruin not typically seen in the United States.colored infrared print on vellum gilded with 24kt gold leaf 15 x 13 x 1"

Yes, America has been labeled a melting pot of society, we encompass all colors, religions, nationalities to become a cohesive society, but our history also speaks of something else. A time when not all people who came to this country were treated the same, when people were spit upon, enslaved, and treated as second class citizens. We have spent the past few hundred years trying to rectify that mistake. We falter, some never learn, and when you put people with so many different ideas, beliefs together there beg to be differences. Will we ever.bronze 4 x 14 x 17"

In recent years, the universe has been an intriguing source of inspiration. I watch from afar, wondering who or what is out there? For me, the big question is what path or door should I go through in order to better understand my place in a universe of spinning planets filled with other beings.

It's depiction of a fractured facial profile calls out the notion of discomfort from unwanted attention and mis-placed celebration of beauty that women receive simply by just being out in the world. The Artist presents a reaction-driven portrayal of those exchanges, and simultaneously shows strength embodied in female agency. This work re-examines our perceptions on “social appropriateness”.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.acrylic with handmade imported paper 16 x 20 x 2" My art for a lifetime has been about the magnificent diversity of humanity and nature. The ‘Endangered body of work’ was begun fourteen years ago as it became evident that Mother Earth, the wildlife, and humanity are endangered from climate change, deforestation, overfishing, insecticides, pollution, poaching, and the effects of war. Mother Earth and Mother Nature are also often used metaphorically for women since many women find themselves in situations of endangerment globally. Tree of Knowledge I was painted with a burning tree because I feel deeply about all the women worldwide who are denied educations.

The painting, Always Follow the Light, is an image to remind the viewer to never give up. There is a choice to seek the possibility that comes in every phase of life. It is within each soul to seek that special light. This painting is dedicated to my mother, who while battling cancer, spoke her last words " Well, I have had a wonderful life". She always followed the light.

Talking on a cell phone is truly one of the easiest actions to observe and provides a picture that hopefully everyone can relate to. People are very focused on their phones, so, drawing or painting that situation gives you multiple artistic areas to contemplate.

Every year we wait for the spring peepers to signal that winter is finally over. I use the process of monotype with drypoint and toxic free inks to freely express gestural aspects of nature that surround me. I used various textured offsets to get a nuanced blue surface in this piece which had several iterations. Knowing when to stop is always the question.

Having been forever awestruck by the sanctity and power of water, I infuse fluid organic forms in my paintings to provoke a sense of fantasy, reminding people of brief moments when life felt like dreamy encounters.

Transformation, connections, shadow and light are themes that I explore in my artistic practice. My work is constructed in layers that I keep apart allowing the shadows created by the change of light to become a vital part of the artwork. The shadows visually mingle with the two layers creating a labyrinthine image and revealing kaleidoscopic forms of interconnected microcosms. Strolleroptera is a word that I created combining English word "stroller" and the word "ptera" meaning "wings" in Greek.

The genesis of my piece titled Sunset Rays lies in a moment of serendipity driving along the highway. The sunlight pierced through the clouds in a manner that felt transcendent. Aware of the fleeting nature of such scenes, I was compelled to capture and preserve it as a painting. I find inspiration in the natural world, translating its essence into art using soft pastels. My creative process extends beyond simple observation; it involves capturing the vibrant interplay of colors, the flowing elegance of lines, and dynamic arrangement of shapes within the realm of light and shadow. Whether it's the ordinary or the extraordinary, I endeavor to encapsulate the ephemeral beauty I witness.

There in the pond hidden in plain sight was this frog, half submerged in the water. The color and light drew caught my attention, but also the subject matter. As I painted the frog, it made me think about people and how we humans also hide in plain sight for similar reasons. Have you ever played "hide and go seek"?

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. This image was originally captured with infrared film; the negative was subsequently scanned and transformed into a digital negative. I then contact 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.

Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who was born in Yamaguchi, Japan. When she was two years old, she was at home about one mile away from ground zero, when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Sadako was blown out of the window and her mother ran outside to find her, suspecting she may be dead, but instead found her two-year-old daughter alive with no apparent injuries. While they were fleeing the atomic blast, Sadako and her mother were caught in black rain. She survived for another ten years, becoming one of the most widely known "hibakusha" -- a Japanese term meaning "bomb-affected person" and later died of malignant lymph gland leukemia in 1955.

This particular scene was photographed from a moving car on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Drying clothing outdoors is a universal occupation whether it is hanging from a balcony in Egypt to a clothesline on a Caribbean beach to a line hanging outside a home in Japan. This has lead to a series of paintings primarily using the wax and dye resist method known as batik.batik on silk 18 x 24"

I am inspired by undulating forces of nature: the formation of rocks eroded by wind and water and the shapes of organic forms. My sculpture addresses the interior and exterior of form by abstracting movement, force and tension. I explore the thought process revealing multilevel reflections of my inner self and collaborations between nature and culture. As an artist one of my communicative functions is to create awareness and reflect concerns for the natural world. Human intervention with nature has caused tension. I believe that with awareness, there is hope. Collaboration between nature and culture can effectively illuminate and channel proactive thoughts and change.

These mixed media dreamscapes are constructed on tactile substrates such as my paintings, handcrafted papers, fabrics, monoprints, photographs, antique books and wallpaper. Adding and subtracting the elements randomly, I then glue, sew, paint, and manipulate them into a slowly evolving composition. Layered with patterns and symbols, metaphor and archetypes I unite often- disparate worlds into new relationships—compositions and artworks that reveal the interconnectedness of nature, life, spirit and time.collage with mixed media 21 x 19"

The Forest Inscapes came about accidentally, as I was experimenting with dripping paint on wood panels. I had used dripping extensively in my large Erosion paintings, in which the drips formed veils of color. In a smaller format, the columns of paint looked like trees. Thus were born the Forest Inscapes, which have evolved to reflect the seasons in the forest around my studio. Forest Inscape #28 is an interpretation of the glittering effect of early evening light seen through the screen of forest foliage.

The composition for this painting was inspired by the view from my campsite at Buffalo Gap Campground, part of the Dakota Prairie National Grasslands, during a road trip in September 2020. The mood and quality of the sky and sunset, though, borrowed from every sacrifice I have made in life. Whether I realized it at the time or not, each of those sacrifices involved a kind of faith. Sometimes, often much later, that faith can seem so foolish -- if not designed to deceive. However, this painting does not connote anger at that cycle, but rather peace.

Trees stretched upward, leaves aglow with sunset's fire. Imperfections embraced; the scene exuded tranquility.

Whether it's capturing the human form in a raw and emotive way or exploring complex themes through subtle details, As I revisit the portrait genre repeatedly throughout my artistic career, I document the changes and growth within myself—both as an individual and as an artist, and my subject. Each portrait becomes a reflection of a state of mind, an experience, and emotions at a particular moment in time. Whether rendered in graphite, charcoal, or vibrant colors, these portraits can serve as visual diaries chronicling the passage of time and the complexities of the human condition.graphite 32 x 24"

In my work, I have at times carved female figures in place of traditional male figures, sometimes with animal attributes, like horns. Nyami Nyami shows here the face of a woman, with a snake tightly wrapped around her body. She bears the name of an African river god portrayed traditionally as a snake. The construction of the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River in the 1950’s caused the forced resettlement of an entire population under the British rule. Today, this piece is a call for environmental protection. It is meant to bring attention to the many indigenous sites that are threatened by pipelines, mining and human greed throughout the world.

When I return to my studio, I sort the sicks by length, width, straightness or curvature, and color. When a stick's bark is spotted or striped, it often remains, but I also carve, burn, and use colored pencils on others. My next step is to search through my bins of found materials to find the perfect match between sticks and usually abandoned metal. The entire process of creating is fun and exciting, filling me with joy.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.Grounded in realism, the drawing navigates between reality and interpreted vision. Eliminating all references to color, the monochromatic palette enables exploration into a scene simply and directly and with a sense of abstracted reality. Manipulating dark and light through a myriad of tonal contrasts goes beyond representation to where, layer upon layer, delicate strokes and nuances convey an ethereal, serene image. The work is not necessarily a direct representation of a scene but is a practice of nurturing an appreciation of the incessant resilience of the flourishing and decaying of nature and the complexities of our relationship within those cycles.graphite 30 x 46 x 1"

The sense of belonging, and the desperation felt whenever I'm not in New York. It is about finding the place where I feel like myself. My work seeks to ask the viewer: ‘what is it that you desire? Where is it that you’d wish you could be? Where are you the happiest? What are you doing or where are you when you are your most authentic self? Who would you so dearly wish that would appear in front of you? What dreams do you have? What keeps you moving forward? Through my paintings I hope the viewer will engage in a conversation that could also relate to their own personal story, their own memories, their own personal questions, hopes, and aspirations.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil painting 24 x 24" This artwork sparks a vital conversation reflecting the interconnectedness and balance within the microcosm of my garden and the macrocosm of the cosmos. My work draws inspiration from the life cycle of flowers to explore existential questions about existence, purpose, fragility, and interconnectedness. By blending recognizable floral imagery with cosmic visions through layered, transparent glazing techniques, the painting symbolically merges the micro and macro realms. This convergence aims to underscore how all life forms, from the smallest flower to the vast cosmos, are intricately connected and demand an open dialogue to ensure the survival of this universal interdependence.

War destroys a country’s infrastructure thereby disrupting the chain of food production. This, in turn, leads to the vicious cycle of yet more unrest and violence. Children living in war-torn countries such as Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, Nigeria, Ukraine, and Palestine are very likely to be malnourished and ravaged by stomach-aching hunger. Where there is war and conflict, children are dying at a rate unfathomable to our well-fed sensibilities. How can we, as flourishing members of the global community, prevent these unnecessary and endless conflicts, these wars that result in the heartless deaths of millions of children?

I was so inspired by all the young children, the beautiful innocence, the trust they give and the dedication given to join and understand tradition. Children are truly an empty vessel. I find it so ironic that we think we can teach and fill this vessel, when this emptiness is something we should all learn from. When I am able to listen and learn, when I harbor empathy and understanding deep within my soul, I feel like I can understand the child I saw standing in the shadows of the church, with all his earnestness.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.collage on clayboard with sgraffito 16.5 x 13.5" I used to have students render statues. As demonstrations, I started using the truncated female torso in my own work, repeating variations in different media- watercolor, oil pastel, woodblock printing, and more. This reflected thoughts about aging- how a statue can lose parts over long periods of time. What may once have been adulated in youth has changed and is now attractive in very different ways. This art piece uses the same torso shape repeated throughout the series, and adds a portion of a cotton lace curtain from my first home that finally fell apart. It is dipped in encaustic wax, which preserves it. The line work scratched in the clayboard suggests breaking of bonds or barriers.

Sun on Parkway Arch is one of a series of paintings made in 2022 to 2023 depicting the Henry Hudson Parkway, both within context of the surrounding park and river, and as a stand-alone structure. I was drawn to this particular perspective by the sunlight glancing off the top of the arch and the contrasting shadowed interior, which created a glorious range of warm and cool blues, greens and purples. The curves and lines also created an almost abstract image which I loved. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.24 x 18 x 1.5"oil on canvas

I love the beautiful landscape, the barns old and new, the animals and plants in the region. The particular barn in this painting was built by the owner himself - a former New York City discotheque owner! I was drawn to the colors and patterns in the scene and enjoyed talking to the owners. Plein aire painDDting is always an adventure and full of surprises.

There is something about lighted round vibrant color fruits, such as oranges and tomatoes, combined with blues, usually found in ceramics and fabric, that, for me, represent a promise: of the pleasures of food, kitchens, meals, community, peace. Given the disturbing times in which we live, my paintings are a small pleasurable alternative. I deeply appreciate still life.

I’m keenly aware of the passage of the lives that have inhabited our small earth and respect what their labors have left for us. Moodiness, reflection and intrigue are a part of everyone's world, not completely and clearly understood. One can read their own interpretation of mysterious fog and manmade walkways made safer by fencing. The indistinct movements of water give hope for sustenance of life. Pathways suggest individual and varied interpretations.

Front and back sides of the canvas are visible simultaneously, revealing hidden elements & layered meanings, both physical and conceptual. Seemingly ordinary objects carry concealed narratives beneath their innocent façade, suggesting deeper, even unsettling layers. A dismembered bottle nipple with a faint human reflection rests in white impasto and in a busy background of suggestive textural movement. A partially formed, unpainted baby bottle precariously balances in front of a baby apparition that seeped onto the backside canvas. Reflections is about reflections and interpretations.

This is a truth of feeling and sensing, the inner world and the intangible outer world. I use visual art forms such as painting, drawing, printmaking and photography to express my inner and life experiences.

I favor a telephoto lens for its ability to draw viewers into the scene, eliciting a reflective response to the imagery. This vision was captured aboard "Irish" off Camden, Maine, in West Penobscot Bay. Being on a US-flagged vessel gives me a profound sense of security. I aim to search for images that convey significant symbols reflective of how and where I live. The clarity of bright days contributes to fulfilling my artistic pursuit of simplicity, symbolism, and the evocation of thought.

The beauty of the early morning mist and the light illuminating the cows freely roaming around ancient giant trees was an amazing sight. The colors were so true. It kind of reminded me of the scenes painted by the Hudson River School of mid-19th-century American painters. Very romantic, moody and idyllic. The use of oil paints on oleo paper gave me the ability to give dimension to this amazing and unique landscape. Feeling it as I painted!

In this oil painting, I focus on 3 brothers enjoying the fading afternoon sun of the spring shoreline. They are comfortable being together, yet each of the boys are lost in their own world. My process begins by taking a photo with my phone, and rendering the lines, shapes and values with white and black charcoal on gray paper. Next, I choose the size of the canvas and compose the piece using yellow ochre watercolor. Finally, I use a variety of brushes to apply layers of oil paint to complete the image.

What sets Giverny Reflections apart is the overall patterning of colored marks, created through vigorous brush strokes.Someone told me that the intermingling blues, reds, greens, and yellows reminded her of Giverny. The sense of movement and depth, around the portion that suggests reflection and possibly water surrounded by foliage-like forms on either side, reminded her of standing in the garden there. So despite the fact that the inspiration came from my local walks I adopted the reference to that beautiful garden in France.

I really enjoy capturing the natural beauty of the Midwest landscape to share with viewers--especially when the morning light creates such vibrant color for a painter to enjoy.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil on canvas 30 x 24 x 1"Ego is a significant part of self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence, and self-image. We care for it, caress it, allure it, so it stays with us, loves us, and lives in us. Although it is the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious, it's responsible for reality testing, and we need it for a sense of personal identity. Overindulgence in loving yourself may bring Ego to a dangerous state that might hurt us. The Ego separates us from ourselves and becomes an unhealthy sense of superiority and importance. It brings arrogance and self-centered ambition. It becomes our enemy. So, what does one do? Live with the enemy? Tame it? Or maybe killing it is the answer?

The figure is drawn in charcoal with white pastel highlights on heavyweight brown paper glued to a barrier-treated wooden panel and waxed with an archival cold wax.

It’s everywhere. It’s our air, our seas, it’s the one that embraces us, another words it’s like a mother. Here my entire interpretation is about a mother’s love. In such, while almost contradicting my own theory, the blues are in the flowers, whereas the green is placed at the mom’s skirt.

A dazzle of zebras creates a mesmerizing appearance that protects the group.ion to the individuals in the group. Ironically, while seeing all the stripes together serves to confuse predators, their unique pattern also aid in individual recognition among zebras. As the sight of a dazzle celebrates the beauty of both the collective and the individual, it also reminds us to cherish our common humanity while honoring the special qualities that make each one of us unique.drawing 24 x 32 x 1"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I have always been inspired by nature and the textures of Flora and Fauna. While visiting various Gardens (Longwood, Morikami, NY Botanical and others around the country) I am drawn to the beauty and elegance of lilypods, water movement, flowers, leaves, stems and the metaphors of life they produce.. While photographing these lilypods a calmness and peace came over me and I became one with the universe. I use a Canon SX20 Digital camera, do my own printing, mat cutting and framing.digitally enhanced photograph 16 x 20"

It displays the magic inherent in the visual realm of existence. My art serves as a visual language through which I share my enthusiasm. Creating is solitary; displaying one's art is to set it free, allowing others to interpret it.acrylic on canvas 20 x 24 x 1"

Winter had definitely come to the river. The boats were put away and winter skies can be so interesting--such expanse and drama, as well as the water’s interaction, while holding the skies up.watercolor 15 x 20"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I've been doing research on the treatment of Asian American immigrants in Nevada. Often, their bodies are buried in unmarked graves and the land used for commercial purposes. The most egregious example would be the 10-15 Chinese American immigrants buried under mining waste in Tonopah, Nevada. There is universality in every specificity. What happened is Tonopah is representative of many in our country, buried in unmarked graves, discarded once our utilitarian value has ceased. This is one mixed media work as part of a series as a response to the continuing mistreatment of Asian Americans and the accompanying diaspora that follows.image transfer on canvas, gold leaf, acrylic paint 24 x 20 x 1"

Here, I tell the story of Gobnait, Celtic goddess and Irish Catholic saint. After leaving her dysfunctional family, an angel told her when she saw 9 white deer she’d found the land for her abby. Patron saint of bees and beekeepers, Gobnait is depicted in her crone/grandmother years wearing a beehive crown and honeycomb breastplate. She rises from the waters of her holy well. My grandmother’s quilt surrounds the piece; a nod to my grandmother and to all crones and grandmothers.acrylic, graphite, antique quilted fabric on canvas 80 x 80 x .5"

It has evolved from a formal piece into a more interesting, deeper, and more informed version of itself. Layers emerged, delivering hidden gems. It has become one of my favorite pieces because it just keeps giving. Dark tones are filled with a surprising myriad of color that prove that there is no real black, but rather a spectrum of deepness within color asking for light to draw out character within them. Look further at these color-filled dark areas, and as the eye searches, this piece will keep changing and rewarding your view.ink & watercolor on museum-grade canvas 20 x 20 x 2.25"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.When I created the painting, Alla Turca, I had no inspiration in mind other than the thrill I felt with the color light ultra-marine blue. I wanted to create a painting using the color, and it was the first time I started off with that background color. I put down a shape here and there as I worked progressively, configuring my creation as I immersed myself in the creative process. Each time I finished one phase, I would photograph the image review and self-critique before returning to complete it. When considering a title, I considered a musical piece. Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca seemed appropriate.acrylic on canvas 21 x 25 x 2"

As a figurative artist I was pleasantly surprised to see these architectural elements seep into my work. Ann’s Dairy came to me at the completion of my residency and captures the essence of a day spent in the countryside. This small, but mighty piece incorporates my gestural approach to figure drawing using handprinted papers to weave a tapestry that blurs the line between structure and nature.collage 17 x 19"

Cut-outs of colored gampi paper were added with the chine collé process to lend excitement and depth. The image was inspired by photographs from NASA’s amazing James Webb Telescope. I am intrigued by questions of the origins of life. Did it arrive from space on a meteor? That the Crab Nebula looks much like cell division during the development of the human embryo is fascinating.etching - drypoint, aquatint, engraving with Gampi chine collé 15 x 17 x 1"

Through this sculpture, I intend to celebrate the strength and elegance of modern women while acknowledging societal patterns.
