Stardust encaustic on cradled panel 10 x 10 For me the experience of encaustics is very focused and feels a bit dangerous—you have to keep the temperature just right so it doesn’t overheat and yet there is still a flow in application. I feel like I’m joyously painting with volcanic lava. As I worked on this piece it started to suggest its theme was the night sky and our expanding universe.

Jade acrylic on canvas 20 x 16 In painting portraits the challenge is to capture the personality and cultural identity of the subject. I strive to do that. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

The Weight of Memory graphite and charcoal on canvas 32 x 24 “The Weight of Memory” was inspired by the quiet, interior space a musician enters when sound and recollection overlap. I kept thinking about how the body remembers—how hands on an instrument can carry decades of practice, longing, and unspoken history. Rather than depicting a specific narrative, I wanted the figure and guitar to hold that layered, almost tactile sense of memory: weighty yet ephemeral, grounded yet always shifting. Working in graphite and charcoal allowed me to stay close to that feeling. I began with careful drawing from observation to honor the structure of the body and instrument, then slowly built up layers of marks, erasures, and re-drawing. I focused on the relationship between the hands and the worn surface of the guitar, using shifts in edge, texture, and value to suggest how some memories stay sharply in focus while others dissolve into shadow. Throughout, I aimed for a balance between Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Taiyo acrylic on canvas 48 x 36 TAIYO in the Japanese culture primarily means "the sun" representing energy, light and vitality. Considering the state of our country I wanted to paint something that would be understood across cultures. The sun is life-giving for all of humankind and I've interpreted it through an abstract lens. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Antique Apple Harvest pastel 18 x 22 I worked hard to raise these apples and when I picked them, I was so pleased I had to paint them. When I painted them however I realized I loved the old tin orchard bucket just as much. Painting is a poem, a song, and sometimes a revelation.

Heliconia Carbaea Collage acrylic, fabric, monoprints, printed metal and handmade papers 36 x 36 As a painter and printmaker, I create layered mixed media paintings exploring memories and dreams. I have been inspired by nature from a young age and that influence colors my work with optimism, mood and color. I reconstruct the textures that feel familiar and insert them into each piece. I believe art is therapy, for myself and my viewers. My heart sings when someone connects with the emotions and thoughts that poured into my work. I use a combination of acrylic paint, gold leaf, handmade paper, thin pressed metal and fabric as compositional elements in my work. The use of symbolic imagery such as trees, animals, florals and birds, invites my viewers to reflect on the harmonious elements in nature that promote our interconnection. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Blossom acrylic on fabric with hand stitching 11 x 7.5 Working intuitively, Blossom emerged during the creative process. While painting the cotton muslin, I focused on how the paint could create textures and mark making. After piecing my fabric to create the collage, I used hand stitching to continue my color harmonies and line work, and to give the artwork structure. As the piece developed, the botanical image became the focal point. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Extra Small Work with a Diagonal ink on Washi paper 11 x 11 This piece is a continuation of my Ink Meanderings and from a series of extra small works created in 2025.

When Time Bends acrylic 20 x 24 A moment where past and future soften, folding into a single, living present. Time bends, curves, and gathers, forming a field of motion where opposing directions converge. What appears as forward movement is also a return—a reconfiguration. In this shifting space, transformation is not abrupt but continuous, an unfolding that holds both memory and emergence at once. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Cracking Open acrylic and collage on canvas 14 x 11 Last summer, I broke my arm in an auto accident. I spent a couple of months healing and staying close to home.

Erinna airbrush with acrylic paint on smooth paper 25 x 29 The pre-Raphaelite style lends itself to paintings by airbrush and I wanted an image that portrayed someone from antiquity. The poet’s shawl is a patchwork of designs, and I used a paintbrush to try to make it flow. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Sarasota Circuit digital art on HD Meta 38 x 34 “Sarasota Circuit” explores structure as a responsive system shaped by environment. Rectilinear forms and linear pathways establish a controlled framework, while intersections and extensions suggest continuous movement rather than fixed endpoints. The composition reads as an open circuit—nodes connect, redirect, and adapt without full closure. The work draws from the principles of the Sarasota School of Architecture, including the influence of Paul Rudolph, where modernist structures are defined by light, climate, and spatial flow. The yellow field functions as both ground and illumination, activating surrounding forms and reinforcing a sense of atmosphere rather than containment. Surface weathering and overdrawn marks register time within the system—evidence of adjustment rather than erosion. Color operates as signal, guiding movement through areas of density and release. The result is a system that is ordered, adaptive, and continuously revised. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Nesting linen, watercolor paper, acrylic, and archival glue 15 x 13.5 When I begin an artwork, I often use a method to stimulate my subconscious. It is a unique, reductive method I use for collages. I begin by painting patterns, textures, lines and spatters on a large sheet of watercolor paper or linen. I look at the painted surface, add more where needed, until images start to appear, waiting to be liberated from the chaotic background. Then I carve out the objects with a knife. It’s almost like drawing with a knife. When I have enough, I can start assembly, piece by piece until their shapes are fully realized. I use these instead of the found-images traditionally used for collages, such as photos, magazine pictures, etc. I can also adapt a similar version of this technique to canvases, without cutting.

Kip's Angel liquid acrylic, watercolor, transfer on canvas 23 x 20 An image was selected from a graveyard photo series captured by this artist then used as a transfer and combined with painting (artist's competency) on canvas.

In particular, it honored the passing of a dear friend's partner, Kip, thus it's name. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Salumeria Famiglia Bruno Venturini, Venezia, Italy photograph 8 x 8 My husband and I were walking around Venice and found this wonderful little store selling wine and gourmet pantry items.

Gazing in Color oil on canvas 20 x 16 In this painting, I followed the idea that life is not fully understood. It can feel like learning, illusion, or something beyond explanation. I wanted to reflect that sense of not knowing in the woman’s eyes and in the surrounding space that shifts and flows, in changing shapes and colors. The woman is open to what is present, noticing the beauty around her and allowing different feelings to arise without trying to define them. I used radiant colors to create a sense of movement and atmosphere, while deeper greens bring in a connection to nature and a feeling of grounding.

Global Series - Bear Hugs ink on paper 18 x 18 Global Series is meant as a gentle reminder that humanity is not separate from nature but a part of it. In Bear Hugs, polar bears are portrayed in a circular format to represent life on Earth and a loving embrace. The red dot represents the Sun, warmth and the need to stop and consider the effect humanity has on the natural world. This is a diptych of serigraphs so the pricing is for the pair. Serigraphy, commonly known as silkscreen printing, is the hand-made printmaking mode. The most important part of the process for Zimmerman is making great drawings. She understands this and creates her drawings, not only as works of art on their own, but thinking about how they will translate into serigraphs. Her thoughtful use of the white of the paper, her textured shading and her attention to the negative space are all essential in her drawings and her silkscreens.

Living Enlightenment I acrylic, oil on canvas 24 x 24 "Living Enlightenment I" emerged from an intuitive line practice. During the drawing process, the artist experienced an intense movement of energy accompanied by a simultaneous feeling of joy and heightened awareness.

This work marks the beginning of the artist’s Living Enlightenment series, an exploration of consciousness within the energetic complexity of human life.

The Ridge in Mist oil on panel 6 x 6 This painting began from a photograph I took while hiking in dense mist, where everything from the trees to myself, was soaked and quietly dripping. The atmosphere was beautifully subdued, and the steady rhythm of dripping water felt almost hypnotic. Along the ridge, a lone tree stood resilient against the haze, its presence both subtle and striking. Something about its quiet strength drew me in and compelled me to paint the scene. Through softened edges and muted tones, I aimed to capture not just the landscape, but the immersive stillness and sensory experience of that moment. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Pattern Play acrylic monoprints collaged on canvas 20 x 20 Pattern Play explores rhythm and visual momentum through a collage of my monoprints, developed from an initial black-and-white composition sketch and realized through printing, cutting, and assembly. Strips of black, white, and gray carry varied textures and mark-making—ghosted prints, scraped surfaces, and stenciled motifs—that create a tactile field of repetition and interruption. Small, deliberate red accents act like visual punctuation, pulling the eye back and forth across the plane and breaking the monochrome rhythm with moments of heat and pause. The work investigates the dialogue between order and improvisation: geometric alignment and repeated patterning hold the composition together, while unexpected textures and irregular edges introduce vitality and tension. Layering is central to the piece, inviting viewers to trace the history of each mark and to experience pattern as movement rather than a static surface Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Drumming Hands photography: digitally enhanced 20 x 16 Drumming Hands When taking this photo of a Gullah drummer, I purposely set a slow shutter speed to capture the blurred movement of the hands, while keeping everything else in the photo in focus.

Originating from African traditions, music and drumming continue to be fundamental aspects of Gullah Geechee culture.

Just Breathe... photograph digitally enhanced 12 x 12 I started working with a light box when I was diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder and I found sitting in front of a light box helped my mood and sleep.

Glimpses of Eliza encaustic wax with writing, photograph of face, and embedded flowers on wood cradled panel 11 x 9 My great-great grandmother Eliza had her world collapse in 1863 with the death of her husband and loss of their plantation. In this image of a young woman, I see a serenity in Eliza's young face and glimpses of the dreams she held. I've included bits of the love letters from her husband John. Then I've surrounded her with real flowers and leaves, growing upward as she must have with marriage and children. Here, I see a mystery that transcends time and place.

Life Shield Series: Creation Dance#2 acrylic and cut paper on round canvas 20 x 20 The Life Shield Series are part of my invented universe, they are both tangible and a virtual reality. The shapes were inspired by pictographic images made by many different indigenous peoples but I have taken symbolic shapes and meanings, and transformed them into my own language. At first, the designs may appear chaotic, but they are not. They are intense meditations, meant to calm the soul.They are receptacles for positive energy. The designs are contained within a circle, a mandala, a protective shield, an armor for life’s journey. My Life Shields are connected to the cosmos and do have universal meaning. They are spiritual and communicate a life force energy and balance. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Salad, Deconstructed colored pencil 18 x 23 Realism is the style that I have embraced for my work. Perhaps the truth is that it embraced me, with inspiration coming from the world around me.

I hope the viewer enjoys seeing it as much as I did creating it. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre collage: painted paper mounted on paper 11 x 7.5 My daily practice is to create a small collage every morning on awakening. Each is different, using different papers; some papers are painted like the ones used in this artwork, others are cut from magazines. The title is the first line of W.B. Yeats "The Second Coming".

Pink Sands mixed media on paper 7 x 9.5 This artwork is inspired by the freedom and happiness I feel near the ocean. Every summer my Mom would load myself and my siblings into our Aspen station wagon and drive 12 hours straight to my grandparents 4 room beach cottage near Boston. By leaving my Dad behind to work, we could all relax. I have many happy memories of beach vacations with family and friends throughout my life. My abstract art attempts to convey those feelings but not specific place. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

The Great Egret sculpture 18 x 9 x 10 I love biking along the Potomac River and watch all the wildlife including eagles, ospreys, blue herons and especially the Great Egret which migrates every year to the shores of Alexandria and along the Potomac tributaries. The Great Egret was carved directly into the stone, sanded and polished. It is an abstract shape focused on the essence of the bird itself and its graceful motion. After the sewage spill that took place earlier this year, this sculpture comes as a reminder to keep the Potomac clean and healthy not only for our drinking water but for the very rich wildlife that depends on it..

Sheila mixed media collage: paper, chalk pastels, leaves on mat-board 20 x 20 Sheila a former student, reach out to thank me for the experience she gained by participating in the school's Annual Talent-Fashion Show.

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

Inscape #35 acrylic on wood panel 24 x 20 The Forest Inscapes came about accidentally when I was experimenting with dripping acrylic paint on wood panels. I had used dripping extensively in my large Erosion paintings, in which the drips formed veils of colors. Dripped onto a smaller format, the columns of paint looked like trees instead of forming a veil. Thus were born the Forest Inscapes, explorations in color which have evolved to reflect the seasons in the forest around my studio. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Field Study - Blush & Earth acrylic 24 x 24 Field Study – Blush & Earth is part of an ongoing exploration of color as emotion and presence. Working on raw canvas, I allow acrylic washes to move freely, absorbing into the surface rather than sitting on top of it. This process creates a sense of immediacy and surrender, where the material itself participates in the outcome. The palette—soft blush against grounded earth—reflects a dialogue between vulnerability and stability. The forms emerge without predetermined structure, shaped by gravity, saturation, and time. Drips are not corrected but embraced as evidence of movement and release. In this work, I am less concerned with composition as control and more interested in allowing the painting to reveal itself. The result is a quiet tension between softness and weight, intention and accident—an open field where feeling takes form without the need for narrative. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

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

Edisto #1 Mother's Bones digital 17 x 11 Botany Bay in Edisto Island South Carolina is a beautiful, heart-wrenching site, where the erosion of the beach has left a graveyard of bleached trees that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Everyone Called It The Crossing watercolor 6 x 4 Many transparent washes are applied to create the finished painting in order to intensify and vary the color palette, arriving at an image that often isn't recognized as watercolor. One painting takes anywhere from weeks to months to create, as I like to step away and return to a work with a fresh eye.

7-Eleven @ Night, Seattle acrylic on canvas 25.5 x 31.5 I love the 7-Eleven logo, the store's colors, and that they are all over downtown Chicago, let alone scattered across the world!
