I have been exploring color relationships and the interplay between shapes, light, and shadow for my entire career. Color is the driving force behind all of my art, and experimenting with a variety of mediums, materials, and sizes is an integral part of my creative process. In the painting Origami, thin layers of acrylic paint are glazed onto the canvas to give the illusion of light filtering through vibrant color. The effect of the loose brush strokes further enhance the softness of the light and give the paintings a more textural feel.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil 26 x 22.25 x 1.5" I am inspired by the figure and the actions of the figure. 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.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil on canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5" Inspired by my daily walks in the nearby woods with my dog, I sought to capture my experience of the natural world through a colorful and dynamic composition. 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.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil on linen 24 x 30 x 1.5" My paintings refer to the mystery, power and spirituality of the landscape. They speak of hope and optimism, while they also recognize humankind's insignificance in relation to the universe. The work is not about realistic forms but rather my response to what I see —the colors, shapes and atmosphere. My intention is to reflect nature's timeless cycle, the ephemeral sense of life, and the question of what else might be.

Trained originally as a sculptor, I try combining the feeling of depth and structure in my 2D pieces. The small spaces in my work allows the viewer to enter the space and capture their imagination.

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 23.5 x 31"How to depict the illusive concept of sin? Choosing an apple strongly symbolized this religious meaning, but how to render spirituality, devoid of gravity, was the challenge. The painting method implemented was to paint a setting of various deep blues pushing space forward and back. The wispy leaf-like lines created movement and visually flowed across the canvas implying spirit. The apple, in its purest form and color, is braced by 2 branches and created a stillness... Now the apple is ready to be picked.

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.

Those are still referenced in my work and their optical effect is still noticeable,—what is new is greater freedom in the fungible marks of hot encaustics—letting the lava flow & fuse. The pigments sparkle in my newest works.

The masks reflect on sexual abuse, body dysmorphia, social pressure to be perfect and forever young, and changes that occur in our minds and bodies as we age. I wrap, tie, and bind recycled materials and everyday objects found in my home (such as hangers, plastic bags, yarn, pins, etc.) to create layers that hide, reveal, constrict, and free what is under the mask.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.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.

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.

It is not my purpose to document an event as a photojournalist would be doing, but to create a work of art that stirs an emotion. I photographed these penguins on the Falkland Islands off South America and waited until the penguins started interacting with one another before I attempting to photograph them. By waiting until the right moment, the viewer can now feel the same excitement as I experienced, when I saw these two penguins greeting each other… ready to kiss!

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.

This is a painting that resulted from my trip one early morning last Fall. I couldn't see well enough to determine if a deer was really off in the distance that morning, but something in the field looked like the form of a deer. 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?

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.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.painted foundry molds & found materials 28.5 x 17.5 x 6"

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.photo screenprint 24 x 18 x .5"

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"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.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.digital 14 x 17"

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."graphite 27 x 23 x 1"

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.printmaking 23 x 14 x 2"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.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.photopolymer lithograph with chine collé 25 x 33"

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.mixed media including stitchery, painting & drawing 24 x 24"

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"
