oil on canvas
40 x 40 x 1.5"
My painting is inspired by the fiery feelings that overcome peace..I intended to show the passion I feel that drowns out beauty and struggles to stay above the political fray.

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?

oil & mixed media 36 x 84 x 1.5"Tribute to NAWA founders and all subsequent members, names of current SC chapter along base. Divided into 3 centuries, 19, 20,21. 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.

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.
