  • oil 21 x 25 x 1"
    I'm not sure that animals possess imagination, but I'd sure like to imagine that they do. And when they look at cloud formations in the sky what do they see? Perhaps more than we imagine.

  • fresco (plaster); salvaged wood 22.5 x 24 x 2"
    My inspiration derives largely from nature. I’m constantly piecing things together, whether in the studio, in nature, or in an urban environment; picking things up and rearranging them. I’m fascinated with the juxtaposition of contrasting materials, colors and textures. In this work, the warm, rough texture of the salvaged wood plays off the cool surface of the plaster, creating a dialogue between these disparate elements.

  • pastel 23 x 29 x 1" I painted this pieces based on some photos I took while I was at a park which had a pond. 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"?

  • bronze (direct cast from modified twigs)
    18 x 7 x 5.5"
    This piece belongs to a body of work in which I reimagined found twigs as trees with small local birds in their branches, but the piece of dried vine that became the body and legs for this piece was so clearly destined to be part of a complete, though abstract, human body that I was happy to make an exception to the tree limitation.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • fiberglass and resin 14.5 x 8.25 x 8.375" Vibrant Unity is inspired by the relationship that connects 2 souls who share a common path in life. Together they form a whole, It is an allegory to life in which groups of people working for a common goal project beauty, integrity and value each other. In this polarized and divided world we need empathy, kindness, tolerance and moral values to prevail by the purity of these ideals and actions, not yielding to violence, corruption or evil.

  • graphite 30 x 46 x 1"
    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.

  • oil on canvas 20 x 26 x 1" I was inspired by Martin Johnson Heade and his ability to incorporate floral imagery in landscape. I am interested in creating surreal, fantasy elements in a traditional style.

  • oil on wood panel 13.25 x 13.25 x 1.75"
    Andrea Sacker is a New York based painter working in oils, gouache and watercolor. I paint places, people and things that are dear to my heart, collecting and distilling the images mostly from my own photographs. I use my intuitive sense of color and composition to reflect my emotional relationship to the subject. I paint on linen, canvas and wood panels mostly within the satisfying limitations of a square. My paintings often reveal quiet moments that reflect my desire to counter the vicissitudes of the daily news and one's life experiences. I paint because I love the material and to express and uncover my relationship with the subject matter.

  • photo screenprint 24 x 18 x .5"
    On the Dock is a work from the Rowing Series, which depicts the sport of crew from the point of view of an active participant. In this series, the quieter moments of the ritual of preparation and repose are included alongside more vigorous action, all in the bucolic setting of the Hudson River. The photoscreenprints are hand-colored in the process of making them, wherein the screen itself is colored and the color is then transferred in the printing. The photo processing and tinted inks create the illusion of a newsprint photo from years past, creating a sense of nostalgia and reflection of a time gone by.

  • ceramic 15 x 11 x 9" Taking off in a personal, fantastical, playful westernized direction, I create a "character mask" I hope worthy of those wonderful sculpted wooden masks worn by performers in both traditional energetic Japanese Kabuki theatre and dance presentations and in the more restrained Noh theatre performances. Initial inspiration transformed!

  • oil on canvas
    20 x 24 x 0.7"
    This piece draws its inspiration from the enchanting sounds of nature at night. Picture a captivating symphony orchestrated by the chorus of small creatures, a melodic masterpiece with no clear beginning or end. This harmonious composition sweeps everyone into a dance, casting a luminous glow upon the surroundings. In the heart of this auditory spectacle, I envisioned a diminutive creature perched delicately upon a leaf. With a magical touch, it plays an ethereal melody, weaving the nocturnal symphony into a mesmerizing tapestry of sound and light.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • sumi-e 20 x 25"
    The Master Potter, a dear friend of mine, her hands move knowing while her mind drifts creatively. Sumi-e, on double shuan paper all from the same ink thinned to a wash to create the gradients, dry brush created the highlights in her hair. The subtle bleeds created between the paper and the ink honor the potters love of Raku and Sager Firing. A tribute to an artist that mastered her medium over 50 years and pushed the envelop up to the end.

  • acrylics / mixed media on canvas 24 x 20 x 1"
    In this vibrant creation, I sought to capture the raw, unfiltered essence of human passion and energy. Using acrylic, chalk, and sand, I've given life to a figure that radiates with dynamism, embodying freedom and unshackled expression. The bold textures and effervescent hues will send a current of vitality through any space, inspiring onlookers to embrace the dance of life with unrestrained joy.

  • acrylic 36 x 48"
    My paintings are spontaneous. At some point I see a subject develop, and if I like it, I continue with it. That is how A Question of Balance was created. It represents our struggle to achieve an acceptable balance with all we have to handle in our life.

  • collage with acrylic and paper 18 x 18" This collage, which presents a destroyed landscape, comes from my emotional response to the devastation of human displacement. Working loosely with abandon, layering paint and papers on a panel, the intuitive process itself supports the creation of an abstracted evocation of the chaotic aftermath of a cataclysmic event.

  • photography 24 x 30 x 1"
    My intent is to create a narrative through this photograph of the needy and poverty stricken children of our (3rd) world. Part of my "International Children Series", my photo captures an authentic moment in 2022 of two sisters in front of their living quarters in their Laotian village. There is an irony to their donated GAP clothing and Nike sandals, dirty and worn, in the materialistic standards and values of life in America. Looking further into this photograph, one can see a typical home in Laos, bringing to reality the life of these young girls. Most importantly, their natural expressions add emotional overtones to this piece. as they help to convey a story of the children of Laos.

  • oil on panel 9 x 9 x 2"
    Agatha Christie said, "All I needed was a steady table and a typewriter." This painting reflects that sentiment. Books, as well as objects, tell a story and have a history. This painting celebrates my admiration for the humble typewriter. They have none of today's digital distractions, like the internet or email. You are just typing, creating a unique work of art.

  • mixed media sculpture 27 x 26 x 5"
    My artwork highlights current topics in society today. The title American Roulette is a play on words denoting games of chance. In America today there is always a chance of violence even in your own home. The "roulette" wheel around the center of the sculpture encircles the home showing threats of violence as the symbolic American eagle lands on top.

  • photography 24 x 18" In this photograph my granddaughter Georgina looks transfixed out to sea. She lives with Rett syndrome a rare genetic neurological disorder that affects the way the brain develops. She is nonverbal. I do know by her calmness at the shore that she feels a sense of peace and wonder here. I want to share that with her and with you.

  • sculpture relief 26 x 15 x 6"
    “Bobbi, can you use this for your art?” asked Al when he finished installing the Lanai ceiling fan. Though the shipping container was all white, one cube contained a circle of radiating bars that could be painted to look like the underside of a manhole cover. I added a rim and painted the interior metallic copper. Cheesecloth was glued over the packing peanuts filling the empty cube. As I tamped in mud, roots and stones, I experienced the ecstasy of artistic creation, knowing that I had achieved the Inside-out Theme perfectly for the competition I wished to enter.

  • embroidery & felting 13 x 13 x 2"
    At this time in history, we are experiencing trials both in the courts and in other interpretations of the word: environmental stressors, active wars, and in our own reintegration to a post Covid society. Women are being denied necessary medical care, there is no uniformity from state to state, and people are scared of what the courts will rule for future laws.

  • acrylic on canvas 20 x 24 x 1"
    Fauna represents a diversified animal life, while phantasmagoria denotes a bizarre or fantastic combination of constantly shifting, complex successions of things seen or imagined. 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.

  • graphite 32 x 24"
    Figurative drawings have the potential to convey deep emotions and tell compelling stories. 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.

  • watercolor, colored pencil 30 x 27 x 1"
    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.

  • screen-printed, stitched vintage linen 12 x 12 x .875"
    The series of Keeping Up Appearances tackles some of the thornier social issues of mid-20th century America, inspired by text from a 1954 book on etiquette. This text ensured cultural boundaries were not to be crossed. Incorporating vintage linens upon which dye has been painted and text screen-printed, this work is also hand-stitched and machine-stitched. The text is copied from Amy Vanderbilt’s Complete Book of Etiquette and is used with permission by Lincoln G. Clark, trustee of the Amy Vanderbilt Kellar Literary Property Trust.

  • silk ribbons, antique maps, antique wooden shoe forms 11 x 9 x 3"
    Refugees - maps from geography books published in 1868 are cut and recombined. Combining the maps with antique wooden shoe forms and hand dyed silk ribbons, suggests a journey charted, imagined, or remembered. A unique perspective of mapping the world is depicted utilizing the antique materials in sharp contrast to our present day issues and conflicts, affecting untold populations around the world. The carefully charted topographies, geographies, boundaries and coordinates are ultimately transformed and inviting new explorations. Layering the paper intuitively, responding to the antique cartographic renderings, allows for new territories to form.

  • platinum/palladium photography 11 x 14" 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. 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.

  • acrylic 60 x 48 x 1.5"
    Along with my deep passion for painting figures, there is a mysterious coming alive of an inner spirit, where emotion speaks through the canvas. This magical practice allows one truth to emerge where the inner and the outer truth reflect one another. May these shadow figures awaken your one truth and connect to the window of your soul.

  • oil on board 14 x 11 x 2" Through my painting I've become attentive to the splendid drama of my everyday world. I've especially been inspired through my travels. This painting was inspired by a memory of a hot day in Tuscany. We sought shade to shelter against the afternoon sun.

  • marble
    26 x 7 x 8"
    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.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • collage of digitally enhanced photographs on a light box
    10 x 13"
    Squaring the Circle- Structure is dancing with the intuitive, both are needed. The expression "squaring the circle" is sometimes used as a metaphor for trying to do the impossible. A women’s work is never done. Mindfulness is key. If you say that someone squares the circle, you mean that they bring together two things, which are normally thought to be so different that they cannot exist together. Mathematically, it has to do with irrational and rational numbers and mathematicians have been working on it since ancient Greece. A woman’s world today is complicated. The circle and spiral are in many ways more home than the square, but we live in a square world of houses and books and cities.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

    Painting and poem inspired by survivors of COVID-19 Gathering together They've made it out of the woods.

  • ink on yupo paper 12 x 16 x 1"
    In times of darkness, there is always a ray of hope, positivity, and light. 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.

  • soft pastel on sanded paper
    16 x 20"
    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.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • colored pencil
    22.5 x 15"
    My artwork is a straightforward sharing of what I see in the world around me, whether it is my family and the traditions we share, or nature including rivers, lakes, rocks, and plants. Portrait work often captures a grandchild. Nature work is usually inspired by the lake area in northern Wisconsin where we have a family lake house, and by the gardens and trees of the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, or by public gardens I visit on trips. I want the viewer to see the beauty of those places, to smell the scent of flowers and hear the rush of a river depicted in my work. Wisteria and Hydrangea depicts plants at the Morton Arboretum.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • fiber 27 x 29 x 2"
    Closing the Gap uses rescued vintage table linens and hand dyed fabrics, some of which were outgrown clothing. 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.

  • digital 14 x 17"
    After the passing of my late husband I traveled to Egypt, land where the afterlife is revered. In examining my photographs of that part of the world, I wanted to honor culture and consciousness. This digital collage came about by combining images of symbolic significance to me with text gleaned from an ancient language. The Latin phrase translates from MEMENTO VIVERE to REMEMBER TO LIVE. The imagery background is the sand of The Sahara Desert, near the Pyramids in Giza. Temporary footprints in the sands are analogous to the finite and fleeting qualities of life. The foreground pyramid image represents a trinity with ocean water contained within its frame.

  • acrylic, permanent inks, white tissue paper on canvas 27.5 x 21.5"
    This painting is inspired by remembered tulips whose magic and beauty in their fullness of bloom touched me emotionally. This painting, as with much of my work, evolved over time through my passionate interest in investigating and exploring the tools of painting, including color and textures and also line, shape patterns and layering -in service of expressing the magic and joy of nature's creations. I seek to create paintings which create magic and have an emotional resonance. I want my paintings to invite the viewer to enter, wander around, and also be rewarded for prolonged looking by making continual new discoveries such as finding a color, texture, or shape not immediately noticed.

  • colored infrared print on vellum gilded with 24kt gold leaf 15 x 13 x 1"
    Sheldon Ruins is the ruins of a Prince Williams Parish Church in South Carolina originally built in the mid-1700’s. 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.
