  • encaustic 8 x 8 x 1"
    Everything around us was shades of blue and grey. We were sitting outside on the coast of Pico Island, in the Azores, listening to the waves break over volcanic rock. Not the nicest weather for a vacation with friends, but the Sangria we shared muted the chilly, damp weather.  I love the contrast of the dark red and the orange against the stormy sky and sea. This piece takes into consideration, unpleasant weather, along with the concept of making the best of it.

  • painted steel wire on wood panel 23 x 26 x 2"
    My art depicts a broad and embracing perspective of human closeness to allow viewers' imaginations to respond in as open a way as possible. My parents suffered extreme early traumas that left them fearful of others. Their influence was a huge obstacle for me to overcome. As a result, I am sensitive to the damage to people, communities, and nations when fear prevents us from finding trust through recognition of our similarities and negotiation of our differences.

  • painting 16 x 20 x 1.375"
    Stinger Flight is from my Visual Poems series of drawings that I have been developing for the past seven years. This piece was inspired by a Loquat leaf I found abandoned in nature. Within each object, hidden personalities are found and speak to those that listen.

  • alkyd oil 30 x 48 x 1.5"
    Painting and poem inspired by survivors of COVID-19 Gathering together They've made it out of the woods. From the edge of darkness and back Broken but patched back together, They take their places on pedestals, like trophies. They've won. They survived. And who are these witnesses below? Did they escape the pandemic- Or did they succumb to it?

Four founders shown handing caged birds, aka female artists, to original, Grace FitzRandolph, who frees them into next centuries. Depicts expected societal rules and fashion. Ironic use of vacuum cleaner bags for samplers, with names stitched, child like. Corsets, keys, cages, chatelain, approved art subjects. 20 century, my artistic journey with doubts, failures, dark places to hide but within glorious symphony of nature. 21 century, my confident, peaceful place with space to think and work. Carolina Wren as guardian. Birds and flight paths connect the centuries.

  • charcoal 38 x 18 x 1.5"
    This Viking, who is searching for his next adventure or perhaps a flagon of beer, is inspired by permission to draw this from armstreet.com, a Ukrainian company that makes Medieval and Renaissance clothing. I've changed the figure to represent the story of searching, and perhaps the Viking here has been running along the beach since his leg wraps are in the process of falling down. 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. Hence, there is no need for glass on this artwork. My charcoal portraits tend to favor theatrical lighting, costumes, and a good story.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • acrylic on wood 12 x 12"
    I was walking near Ben Yehuda Street when I noticed the color contrasts. A less busy street it glowed with warmth.  The night sky that usually intimidates me felt inviting. Using a limited palette this little painting on recycled wood makes a BIG statement.

  • acrylic painting with 3D leaves & branches 36 x 60 x 3"
    I am always inspired by my onetime hometown of Kailua, Hawaii. I feel a profound connection to the island. The smells, breezes, colors, ocean and warm, wonderful people inspire me. It is not about making a pretty picture, it is about spiritual connection on a deep level. I have experienced healing there after devastating losses. It always fills me up, even when I didn't realize I was empty. My hope is to move the viewer in some way.

  • stone 17 x 6 x 6"
    I create sculptural forms from natural materials, drawing inspiration from nature yet veering towards abstraction. The essence of my work often embodies a biomorphic aesthetic. Calling II, was created from a marble that seems embedded with fossilized bits that inspired a primitive bird like form. It is also the same stone that I used to create Calling, an earlier sulpture.

  • painted foundry molds & found materials 28.5 x 17.5 x 6"
    My palette of found objects and foundry molds requires being tactile, playful, and using chance and intentional placement to create anthropomorphic totems. As I create my work, I let the shapes and objects guide me. The composition comes first but with constant editing, a theme emerges. I find meaning in these found objects and detritus from the past. By reimagining their purpose and giving them personalities, I look to recast their history and for the viewer to find kinship in these haunting shapeshifters. Freed from their destiny as trash, these curious objects assume new identities and evocation of something soulful.

  • digital art on metal 24 x 18 x 1"
    Often my artwork is inspired by divine beauty of flowers, and I use them to explore spiritual themes. I aim to connect viewers with the power of biblical words through the motif of flowers. The artwork Spiritual Thirst is a visual interpretation of biblical words through the flower image. I digitally created this piece by arranging cut tulips on the lifeless place surrounded by water droplets. The tulips represent our yearning for the living water that Jesus offers us for eternal life.

  • graphite 27 x 23 x 1"
    The positive and negative spaces created by a chair in space intrigue me. Using the frottage technique, I am imagining these spaces as absorbing part of the energy of those who might sit in that chair, in a sense carrying a 'memory' of that person. The "#14" in the title refers to a particular bent wood style chair, now ubiquitous, first designed in 1859 in France and known since then as "Number 14."

  • sculpture 10 x 8 x 8"
    After visiting a Pompeii exhibit I was inspired by the plaster casts made of the victims. I wanted to do a diorama that depicted the emotions on the faces of a family unit. I decided to paint a mimi portrait of the Mt. Vesuvius eruption as seen through a window of the house.

  • oil on ceramic 13 x 6 x 6"
    My bud sculptures are peaceful studies of nature/form and one's tactile/visual response to nature. They are meant to provide contemplative solace to the viewer as they do for the maker. The pieces are ceramic clay painted with oil paint. They range in size and are made to be wall hanging or free standing. They are made spontaneously. They are a joy to make.

  • photopolymer lithograph with chine collé 25 x 33"
    This piece is inspired by my mother’s loss of independence towards the end of her life. We exchanged letters and I used them as text over my image to cope with her circumstances and projection towards my own. I did some research into my background and based some of my texts on these family secrets; both mine and others. I explore the changing relationships of parenthood, family, identity, love and loss, and am always concerned with the downward social spiral I see around me. I find I use artmaking as a means of negotiating a way through some of the irreconcilable behaviors I encounter in myself and in the world around me.

  • 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, airbrush, latex, ink, oil pastel, UV pigments on canvas 60 x 120"
    Synaptogenesis is a process that directs the formation of synaptic contacts. Synaptic contact is necessary for the transmission, analysis, and comprehension of stimuli meant to aid the body in functioning, but also in the development of language, critical thinking, and intelligence. As a philosophical, humanist artist, this painting and its theme become allegories for my intentions to foster and nurture new connections through art.

  • mixed media including stitchery, painting & drawing 24 x 24"
    The word Matrix in its archaic form means mother and is associated with origins of life. Made of over 36 4”x4” squares, some with strong visual bonds and some with no visual bonds, the meaning and strength of the individual pieces comes from their relationships to each other. We can each be unique individuals with depth and complexity, but when we form a common bond or have a common need, our uniqueness forms a collective. A perfect metaphor for humanity.

  • 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.

  • paper & acrylic on canvas 24 x 18 x 2"
    A friend gave us a beautiful bouquet of flowers and I wanted to keep it forever so I made a collage of it. In this piece I continue to incorporate home sewing patterns by using the instruction sheet as background. Also included are painted papers and bits cut from one of my hand-colored woodcuts. I rearranged these familiar items in a playful way.

    My family and I were visiting my brother in a beautiful houseboat in Seattle for our vacation last summer. My son and his girlfriend were relaxing on the dock one morning while my daughter paddle boarded in the distnace on the lake. The scene was so utterly idyllic that I had to snap a photo of this enchanted Venice-like sun filled moment with those who are sclose to me. Appropriately enough my son is now engaged to his girlfriend and the name Lake Union seems to work with this double meaning!

  • acrylic / mixed media 30 x 24"
    Mama’s Garden Was Blue is from the series ‘Into The Woods’, I believe green is a lucky color, most people love it. From spring to fall it presents us a galore of nuanced hues and values. And it takes its place right in the center of the rainbow. Blue, on the other hand, is the foundation of the world. 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. Challenging myself and wondering what the reaction of the viewer will be. This always enriches me!

    After traveling to Svalbard on the Arctic Circle residency, I was inspired to do larger works on watercolor with unusual presentations. The glaciers were astounding, magnificent, and fragile. This piece has been around the world promoting climate awareness (even at COP 21 in Paris for the conference). I love that this piece has been able to represent my work even if I couldn't be there.

  • drawing 24 x 32 x 1"
    This piece is titled Dazzle after the term used to describe a herd of Zebras. 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.

  • digitally enhanced photograph 16 x 20"
    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.

  • 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.

    I painted this outside at my easel along the Hudson River, facing north on a chilly January day. 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.

  • image transfer on canvas, gold leaf, acrylic paint 24 x 20 x 1"
    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.

  • acrylic, graphite, antique quilted fabric on canvas 80 x 80 x .5"
    Crone Gobnait experiments with Faith Ringgold’s storytelling quilts. 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.

  • ink & watercolor on museum-grade canvas 20 x 20 x 2.25"
    Abstraction takes the eye through an adventure. 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.

    This painting captures a memory of mine, a day spent climbing through grassy hills with my friend Louise. The rolling fields, blue skies and rocky cliffs that surrounded us are depicted in vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes, capturing the simplicity and beauty of the landscape. The wind softly rustling through the grasses can almost be heard in the delicate swirls and textures of the grass.

Painted canvas of a cut-out arabesque shape, is transformed through intricate stitching, weaving together themes of love, hope, and freedom.

    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.

  • collage 17 x 19"
    During a month-long residency in Ireland I became entranced by the rich textures of stacked stone walls and pointed silhouettes of rooftops across the moody grey skies. 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.

  • etching - drypoint, aquatint, engraving with Gampi chine collé 15 x 17 x 1"
    Crab Nebula is a copper plate etching that transformed itself with the addition of dry point, engraving, and then embellishment with two different roulettes, one a wheel, and one an aquatint rocker. 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.

  • resin & steel 18 x 4 x 4"
    I create sensitive and organic sculptures to share my insights about life. Through this sculpture, I intend to celebrate the strength and elegance of modern women while acknowledging societal patterns. By using materials like resin, steel, and wire, and by elongating the dress and incorporating spiraling movements contrasting with the static posture of the figure, I aim to produce tension and energy aligned with my vision of femininity today.

    Travel often inspires my artwork both while traveling and later, in my studio. My sketches (graphite, watercolor) lead to small, realistic canvases. Those, in turn, often lead to more abstract work, over time. This canvas resulted from many images of Shinto and Buddhist shrines in Japan, plus my own attraction to the colors used at the Shinto shrines. It describes my  sense of the centrality of religion in Japanese culture plus the excitement and passion of visitors (often with beautifully dressed young children) there.

    Along with my deep passion for painting figures, there is a mysterious coming alive of an inner spirit, where emotion speaks through the canvas.

  • suede, paper, copper 22 x 26"
    Animated Forms is a recurring theme in my paintings, sculptures and mixed media work. My interest is in exploring the boundaries between representation and abstraction. I reduce the subjects to bold, simplified forms and like to create excitement, tension and often lots of space in the work. Color and texture became increasingly important in development of the collage, and man-made and natural materials like suede, copper and paper were incorporated into the piece. This is an exciting, intuitive and challenging way to work.

    The Winter Dreaming Tree is part of a series of works called "The Dreaming Trees". All these pieces were born out of scientific research on Trees communicating through their root systems and how all of these creatures are much more then they seem, they are living and breathing just like us. I have devoted some of my creative works to our concerns over our environment and I believe our seeing nature differently will help us all evolve and protect our world.

    Luminous Evening emanates the golden hour's enchantment, born from a small study painted en plein air of a nearby pond. With a symphony of hues, I painted its canvas to mimic the sun's warm embrace. Peach, pink, and coral danced, while the pond shimmered with golden reflections. Trees stretched upward, leaves aglow with sunset's fire. Imperfections embraced; the scene exuded tranquility. The painting captured the fleeting magic of golden hour, inviting viewers to bask in its luminous beauty.

  • 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.

This photograph was taken, several years ago, on a Photography trip to Guatemala. I was struck by the light and shadow on the woman, the stairs, and arch, as she was sweeping the church steps. The scene that was in the background seemed to glow in the sunlight. It was a magical moment! These days you might find me with my camera, photographing people on the streets of NYC.

    Tango, a dance of give and take, rawness and refinement, has long captivated my artistic sensibilities. This small acrylic painting shows the freshness of the moment in a dance of quick action, stance, and reaction between two figures in their pursuit of a perfect connection.

    The Whirling Darvish sculpture is inspired by the essence of a traditional Sufi spinning meditation practiced by the Dervishes of the Mevlevi Order, in which the practitioner abandons his ego and connects with the divine in a rotating trance by listening to the flute music and symbolically resonating with the spinning planets, partaking of the Oneness of the Universe. Today, the meaning of this meditation puts on a fresh spin when practiced by non-secular dancers united in humanity and humility, harmonizing with each other and with the Cosmic vastness.

    I am a abstract landscape painter. The greens of the surrounding lawn set off the blooms in the rose garden. The colors green and red are complements on the color wheel. Within the choices for the color green I went "Veronese Green." A blast of pure cadmium green with that Venetian/Veronese "twist". The red is many reds but mostly pure cadmium red medium and alizarin crimson--sometimes mixed or overlapping, other times almost pure. The "rose garden" is framed by a cadmium yellow deep border and then outlined in aluminum paint. I am excited about this painting: the big singular shape, the colors and the framing to set it all off.

    In this "portrait," I'm trying to capture the rebellious aspects of a woman's personality, mainly through the colorful and nonconformist way she adorns herself as well as her living space. I'm inspired by the simplicity and directness of Folk and Outsider art. And when I was working on this piece, the words to the David Bowie song, "Rebel, Rebel," were going through my mind.

    "A nkisi acts as an intercessor between ancestral spirits and the living." Minksi (pl of nkisi) were "used for a community’s well-being, assuring fertility, protecting against illnesses, and generally keeping malevolent forces at bay. Their commissioning reflected a fear that disruptive forces would damage the village’s unity." [source: Community Power Figure: Male (Nkisi) Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, Yaëlle Biro, 2018.] I hope Nkisi for Elections will act as an intercessor between the spirits of the founding fathers of our democracy, our Constitution, and the politicians of today.

    White Cedar Swamp is a magical place near my home and studio on Cape Cod. I was unaware this wonderland was tucked between the bay and the national seashore, less than a mile away from me, until a friend introduced me to the place on a hike. I felt transported in this space, surrounded by trees and dazzled by the reflections in the pools of water. Immediately, I knew I had found a new muse. I am drawn back there frequently and it is always a different spectacle. Moonlight Magic depicts my memory of the swamp on the rising of The March Worm Moon. In folklore, this full moon symbolizes inspiration, rebirth, hope, and luck.

    I am always wondering what it means to make art at a time when it seems we humans are not up to maintaining the health of our beautiful planet and its creatures. How can I just sit around and make pictures? What I do know is that for me, making art is like being a therapist (my profession for almost fifty years), and is like living life. Everything has a way of falling apart and then gathering together, making form out of the unformulated, continually layering and digging beneath the layers. The complexities of abstraction, color, line, and texture are the tools I employ in my passionate reach for exploration of the not yet imagined.

    This painting, Rewilding, references the ruderal plant growth that breaks through the brick, steel, and concrete of abandoned urban spaces. It is part of a series of abstract paintings made in response to on-site drawings of former brick factories in the forest alongside the Hudson River, NY. The way these plants break through the industrial structures and restore the scarred earth is a metaphor of resiliency and the impermanence of things . By releasing the structures we once thought supported us, we can discover new growth and the power of possibility.

    I work directly from nature exploring a synthesis of abstraction and realism, positive space activating negative space, the pictorial field alive. A new voice spoke to me over 25 years ago with my move from New York to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It spoke a language I had never known, but spoke a secret language to my heart. The contemplation of the expressive figure gave way to the perception and experience of life in a glorious landscape. It said this is home.  Here we bear witness to the natural cycle of renewal and rest. Landscapes and waterscapes, houses and abodes provide places where we can rest and dream.

    This piece was created during 2020 and inspired by a series of phrases and ideas that I focused on during that time as I compared and contrasted seemingly the oxymoronic events of the day. "Lines of communication bruised, but maybe not broken. Self. Speaking, Suspended conversations, zooming fact checks behind masked members of race. Seeking spaces between memory and a formulations of the possibility of fright or fight. A missed flight. A fight for intimacy and for air."

Changes that are both human and naturally caused. Included in this work is a dried and pressed lei from a trip I took to Hawaii several years ago. A symbol of the beauty that often masks the underlying chaos deep within the landscape that is begging for our attention (Lahaina Fire).

    Experimentation is at the core of my artistic practice. I constantly push the boundaries of traditional oil painting techniques, seeking new ways to express my vision and engage with the materials. Through the exploration of color, texture, and complex layering processes utilizing oil paint and cold wax, I open myself up to unexpected outcomes and exciting discoveries. Each layer holds traces of the artistic process, revealing the history and evolution of the piece. I believe that through the accumulation of layers, the artwork gains a sense of richness and storytelling, inviting the viewer to explore the hidden narratives within.

    My process is intuitive. The curve of pencil line, the profile of a face or ancient sculpture, the palette and form were entirely happenstance. In conversation with a well-known artist and curator years ago, my work was described by them as “sophisticated.” Later, working with that individual became a rude awakening of how sexist, degrading and elitist the art world can be for a female identified artist. I felt this piece was a triumph in its overt femininity, fresh gesture and formal strength which is why I chose it for this show.

    I use color, shape, and composition to create images that please my eye and are faithful to creation. I’m a monotype maker. I place ink on plexiglass, using brayers and brushes. I add stencils, plastic netting, paper. I use whatever fits, determined by the creative process. I carefully place the work on the press bed, hoping I don’t get too much ink on my hands. Desperately trying to keep the water-soaked paper clean, I lay it over the plate and crank the handle, pulling the rollers over the assembled work. I’ve surrendered control as the bed slides between the rollers, creating something beyond what I’ve organized. I have handed control over to the forces of nature.

    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.

    Recently, I've been working on collographs. A collagraph is a print that is made from a collage of various materials that are glued together on cardboard, metal, or a hardboard plate. Texture can also be created by gouging or cutting into the board. It is then inked as either an intaglio or relief then run through the printing press with dampened paper on top. I enjoy this technique as it gives me the freedom to experiment with different materials and textures. I also work with decorative papers as an added element. It is also a departure from my more realistic linocuts, allowing me to explore abstract compositions.

    For most of my career, I had worked with female models, exploring issues of identity, sexuality and personal power. During and after the pandemic, that didn't seem relevant. I also wanted to throw pottery again as I had at the beginning of my career. I found the process consoling, and I wanted to offer consolation to others. I felt protective of my friends and my family. I began a series of sculptures that combine thrown and modeled forms. They are meant to be protective figures from the realm of myth and imagination. This one, Buddy Buddha, is my own beloved dog, who was such a cheerful and affectionate companion during that terrible time.
