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.

The forested mountains running down to the shore and the color of the water create a very different landscape than the south Florida coastline. With whales, seals and dolphins watching the marine life is pure joy.

Octopuses, with their three brains are brilliant and are on the top of the oceanic hierarchical chain. Their keen ability to sense their surroundings, the interaction with humans, and how they care for and defend themselves is a marvel. Luminosity was created to represent the importance of the ocean and her creatures. I , personally , have immense respect for these sentient beings. Man's interference has taken a toll on all these glorious beings. How can we understand the impact we have had and change what we have done?

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?

Our model was a wonderful person, covered in tattoos and piercings. I thought, at the time, so many people would consider her as different, but why? What if she was a Saint? What if she lived a life full of grace and beauty? I wanted to create layers of colors and hidden bits for people to find when they looked at it. Just like people.

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.

Earlier the sky was darker, later, more light comes in. During this time the clouds also change. The two paintings, done on lose canvas, were refractured - cut up and reassembled - mounted on a stretched canvas - to incorporate the two phases. The following poem is written for and painted into the painting: Storm clouds, fluffy clouds All the product of weather, changes are the key.

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

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.

The true green color of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen as the wave crests.

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.

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.

The Crown Act, first signed into law in California in 2019, now law in 24 states including Texas, prohibits the denial of employment and educational opportunities based upon natural hair texture or style. Texas continues to draw national attention as it denies educational opportunites to students with Locs (protected under the Crown Act). The Crown Act has failed to pass the US Congress twice.

Equipped with my Nikon and a telephoto lens, I sat aft observing the ensigns' flow and flutter. 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.

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.

The dichotomy of the old and the constant evolution of these volcanic islands inspires. This view struck me as so American, of a time when America was new. 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!

I use painting to express my interest in people and how they fit into their environment. Everyday experiences interest me the most. 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.

My intention is to reflect nature's timeless cycle, the ephemeral sense of life, and the question of what else might be.

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?
