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.

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.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.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.charcoal 38 x 18 x 1.5"

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"

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.

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.stone 17 x 6 x 6"

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"

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.digital art on metal 24 x 18 x 1"

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.

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"

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"

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.

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.

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!acrylic / mixed media 30 x 24"

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.drawing 24 x 32 x 1"

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

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.ink & watercolor on museum-grade canvas 20 x 20 x 2.25"

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.acrylic on canvas 21 x 25 x 2"
