Stiff acrylic monoprint on paper 12 x 9 From a series of prints exploring the condition of our physical bodies, women’s physical selves, and what they mean to our lives.

Standing Firm, After Tuck Langland (sculpture) watercolor on paper 30 x 22 Visiting Brookgreen Gardens in Murrell's Inlet, in South Carolina is always special.

We Came So Far oil, pastel, acrylic goache, and charcoal on arches oil paper mounted on panel 33 x 24 We're born into our specific time and location- with its own set of cultural norms and realities. I've found myself trying to untangle these. Faced with nostalgia and engaged in personal reckoning, my paintings use broken color and line to create and then break the very figures I render. The surface becomes rich with layered marks as I scratch and draw into the paper. Slowly building the surface, I question more of my own understandings and those driving change. This forms a dialog between myself, those who have come before me, and those who will come. The women are never fully rendered or depicted as smooth and perfect; nostalgia lies- it was never perfect. Each painting also asks the overarching question "What would they say?" These women, standing near but not too close to a house, seem to say, "We came so far." And then, "But where are we going?" Those who came before us demand that we not forget or succumb to nostalgia; nostalgia for a past that was never designed with women's full potential in mind, that seems to be sweeping our country again.

The Falconi Twins (Second Violin, Principal Viola) photo and pigmented beeswax combines on Kozo and wood panel 36 x 24 I create visual biographies honoring communities whose narratives have been marginalized, erased, or never recorded. "The Falconi Twins" portrays the resilience of two women from my childhood town who defied societal expectations in the 1970s. These women lived together, posed as twin sisters, and dressed identically to evade the scrutiny of the conservative community. In truth, they were a gay couple seeking refuge in a world that struggled to accept them for who they truly were. This portrait is a fusion of orphaned vintage photographs, my photographs, abstract drawings, and antique ephemera in subtle layers of pigmented beeswax on Kozo. I replicated a solitary figure to create a twin, etched intricate patterns and sgraffito onto the platform, balustrade, and figures to weave a narrative of secrets and shared experiences that remain unreadable to outsiders. This is a portrait of the power of love, resilience, and enduring bonds. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Sima oil on Wood Panel 4 x 4 Portraits are immeasurably fascinating to me for their breadth of expression. They can articulate an expansive language of mood and atmosphere. They can convey intent, brashness or delicacy, anxiety or hesitation. A viewer can vicariously venture into the realm of a face to invent a story about a person. I wanted to make these portraits in a miniature scale, so to bring a viewer close in proximity to the individual moods of each woman. They are intimate in scale yet vigorously alive with thick paint. Each portrait is 4" X 4", oil on wood panel. Painted with tiny brushes, the portraits of these women nevertheless remain hugely present. They reflect an unshakable vitality immersed in atmospheric spaces. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

To My Favorite G.I. collage, acrylic, charcoal on panel 24 x 24 During World War II, my father wrote more than 500 letters to my mother while fighting in the Pacific Theater. Two works from my Between the Lines series—"To My Favorite G.I." and "Left Behind"—focus on the women and girls whose lives unfolded in the shadow of those letters and events. "To My Favorite G.I." incorporates original correspondence and photographs my mother received from overseas. Her image became a lifeline—proof that love, beauty, and constancy still existed amid chaos. On the back of one small photograph she wrote, “To my favorite G.I.” The term “G.I.” was not anonymous to her; it was intimate. A coded declaration of belonging, resilience, and hope. This work honors the countless young women who stayed behind to wait, work, worry, and believe. "Left Behind" turns to the quieter, often overlooked experience of children shaped by war. Lorraine stands suspended between innocence and fear, forced into emotional adulthood by absence. Her story reflects generations of young girls whose lives were irrevocably altered by conflicts they did not choose. Together, these paintings bear witness to longing, faith, and endurance carried by the women and girls who held families, memories, and futures together while history unfolded around them. In creating these works, I sought to capture what could not always be spoken—the quiet strength, unresolved longing, and inner faith that sustained those at home. Through layered imagery, fragmented text, and partial concealment, the paintings mirror how memory, love, and absence coexist, shaping lives long after the war has ended.

Presence and The Past acrylic 24 x 24 My work explores the intersection of individual presence and collective history, navigating the nuanced complexities of the feminine perspective. I paint women engaged in introspection, inhabiting a space where reflection intersects with lived experience. Through a process of layering and refinement, an interplay between color, form, and surface depth is revealed. This physical history serves as a metaphor, honoring the influence of women whose stories weave the fabric of shared legacy. By prioritizing the female gaze, I visualize the 'seen and unseen' — embodying the resonance between the external world and the internal life of the figure. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Celtic Bond | A Daughter and Her Mother Mixed media on canvas with wood panel backing, digitally printed background with hand applied oil pen, paint, textured 30 x 30 This work presents a mother and daughter as children, drawn from the artist’s own life. Their figures stand together within a wooded place that recalls years shaped by hardship imposed by those nearest to them. The mother, having grown up without protection, became a steady presence for her child during a time marked by fear, control, and emotional strain. Through attention and resolve, she remained beside her daughter and guided her through what could not be avoided. The forest holds the memory of enclosure and of passage. It marks a period when remaining alert was necessary and when leaving together required courage. The bond between the two figures reflects a decision made and upheld. It speaks to protection given where none had been received, and to the endurance carried from one generation to the next. This work stands as a record of maternal devotion and shared survival. It honors the strength of women who persist, protect, and carry their children forward, shaped by experience and sustained through responsibility.

Sharing Stories acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 This painting is a translation of a pencil drawing made from my imagination. ( I rarely draw from live models now, although for many years, I worked from nudes and from people sitting on the subway or in restaurants ). As I was drawing, I thought about how I want to portray this particular subject, Celebrating the Women Who Tell Our Stories. My painting process here began with loosely drawing on canvas, and I used the basic composition I'd drawn on paper. As I was painting, I I made my color decisions slowly, as part of the process of moving the color over the canvas' surface. The figures on the left were not in the original drawing and when I first decided to add two figures there, they were much smaller and a man and a woman. I painted over them after deciding I wanted those figures bigger. At this time, when I work from direct observation, it is of the landscape, and that continues to inform me.

Lupita Kneeds acrylic 24 x 18 Lupita Kneeds is another of the series inspired by Laura Esquivel's novel "Lupita also Liked to Iron". It is another meditation in motion, with a nod to my Latina heritage and the indigenous adobe homes of Mexico. The title is a play on the word "kneeds" and "Needs". I hope this painting gives the viewer a quiet moment of contemplation. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Ghost Story, Chapter 3 _ visiting with her memories pored watercolors and fluid acrylics on paper 17 x 18 Painting , for me, is an opportunity to retreat into my imagination and tell a "story”. As I paint, I work to cultivate artwork that tells a narrative about an experience from the point of view of the protagonist. In this painting, I worked with water-media to create an image that is inspired by the life of an elderly woman’s experiences. In “ghost story, chapter 3 _Visiting with her memories” my central character is living for today while she considers her past, in terms of her memories.

Mother Nature in Control oil on canvas with seed beads 16 x 16 Mother Nature controls the natural world. She nurtures, but she has the power to destroy. Mother Nature represents the interconnection of the living. My piece was inspired by this power and the fact that this power, throughout time, has been personified as being female. My Mother Nature in within the wings of a dove and she is wrapped in floral growth. She is within the darkness of night. She is powerful. She is with what is good. She is our story.

Tribute acrylic, Photos printed on vellum collaged on cradled birch board 18 x 24 I’m half-Japanese, half-white. My father’s Japanese-American family was unjustly held in the concentration camp in Minidoka, ID during WWII only because of their ancestry. Around 120,000 Japanese-Americans were rounded up on the West Coast and imprisoned. Over half of them were American citizens but were deprived of their constitutional right to habeas corpus--the right to defend themselves in court. I created "Tribute" to honor my relative Geri Takahashi who was put into concentration camp, along with two of her brothers, a sister and her mother, at the age of 21. She was born in the USA so was an American citizen. She had never even been to Japan yet was treated as if she was a war criminal. Being unjustly incarcerated at a young age affected her self esteem and she never dated or married, she just worked 6 days a week and volunteered in her Protestant church. Like many of her generation who were in camp, she would never speak of her time there. My hope is that "Tribute" tells the story that she could not.

She Spoke Up XXIII, Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson charcoal on arches paper 22.5 x 30 The ‘She Spoke Up’ series began as a reaction to the destructive and inflamed political and social climates. With the cascading revelations of the Me Too movement, centennial anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment, surreal landscape of the Covid pandemic unfolding, and the incessant assault on democracy by our elected politicians, I chose to elevate the work and words of women who have spoken truth to power, pursued freedom and equity, and transformed the broader world. Collectively the series stands as a response to so much misogyny, ill intent, sexism and obstruction. Parrot fish, symbolizing adaptability, possibility and freedom, are potent symbols of creative potential, and the world’s intricacies and healing mechanisms. I integrated specific bird and natural imagery into each work in the series, finding their symbolism often uncannily mirrored the characteristics of each woman. The series reflects on the struggles and inequities of the past, underscores the fundamental challenges that still exist, highlights the transformative achievements of intelligent, courageous women, and suggests possible tomorrows.

False Guarded charcoal on birch Panel 30 x 20 False Guarded is part of a broader series examining generational trauma and the ways inherited pain can shape the emotional lives of women. The work focuses on a survival response born from repeated hurt: the decision to abandon vulnerability in favor of protection. What begins as a necessary coping mechanism gradually becomes a defining structure, allowing fear to dictate the terms of one’s life. The figure is held in a defensive posture, one arm raised and rigid, slowly transforming into a tree-like form. This stance reflects emotional petrification—the point at which self-guarding hardens into permanence. Shelf fungi grow along the raised arm, referencing their tendency to thrive on trees that appear healthy but are hollowing on the inside. The imagery becomes a metaphor for carrying pain quietly, maintaining strength and functionality while emotional pain remains unseen. The opposite arm lowers, exposing an open wrist to a snake winding upward along the body. The snake symbolizes fear, persistent, intimate, and increasingly influential when left unchallenged. Rather than confronting or releasing it, the figure allows it space, illustrating how fear can become familiar and inviting. Rendered in charcoal on wood, the work emphasizes time, resistance, and accumulation. The medium resists erasure, mirroring the emotional labor of women who survive by becoming immovable, rooted in endurance, shaped by inherited trauma, and suspended between protection and the possibility of transformation. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

She Commands the Current oil on canvas 16 x 12 This work honors my woman ancestors—those whose strength, intelligence, and intuitive ways of knowing were often unrecognized or unnamed. Their legacy is carried forward through the body, through perception, and through an increasing attunement to unseen forces. The electrical lines extending outward suggest transmission as much as reception: the figure absorbs cosmic energy while simultaneously radiating it back into the world. I dedicate this to my late mother, a woman who was a conduit of power, perception, and inherited knowledge. She stands beneath a luminous moon, her gaze lifted and unwavering, as if listening to frequencies beyond the visible world. The currents radiating from her head are both electric and ancestral—visual manifestations of intuition sharpened over time and wisdom accumulated through lived experience. The moon functions as a cosmic anchor, symbolizing cyclical time, memory, and the enduring presence of those who came before. Its craters echo the marks of age on the figure’s face, reinforcing the idea that time leaves evidence not as damage, but as history. The woman’s crossed arms and grounded posture convey authority and self-possession. She is not passive beneath the cosmos; she is in dialogue with it. Aging, in this painting, is depicted as an expansion of consciousness. With time comes a heightened sensitivity to patterns, rhythms, and truths that transcend the individual self. This figure embodies the idea that as we age, we grow closer to the cosmos—not by leaving the body behind, but by fully inhabiting it, charged with memory, lineage, and luminous awareness.

Figurines for Marija Gimbutas stains and metallic paint on cartapesta 8.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 If I hadn't been an artist I would have been an archeologist. The woman I would have bowed to and chased on every dig was Gimbutas. Marija Gimbutas was archaeologist and anthropologist known for her research into the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures. She theorized that the arrival of the Kurgs—the original Proto-Indo-Europeans-- shows how cultures of domination and patriarchy took over the Old European civilization which was centered around the worship of the Earth, The Great Goddess. To make the figurines, I first made small clay sculptures and wrapped them in paper, like 'mummies.' When paper and hardening agents dried, I pulled out the clay sculpture, repaired the wound, and then painted neolithic patterns, similar to the patterns Gimbutas found on pottery from her digs in Eastern Europe, on the figurines.

Prepare for the Coming of the Messiah oil and painted found object on canvas 32 x 16 Prepare for the Coming of the Messiah was inspired by images of women that have carried belief, care, and expectation across generations. Drawing from Raphael’s Madonna della Sedia, the work references a lineage of female figures who have served as vessels for faith, hope, and projected futures. These images have shaped cultural memory and visual language for centuries, often placing women at the center of narratives of salvation and renewal. Into this familiar composition, a twentieth century baby doll protrudes from the canvas, partially painted and partially intact. The doll disrupts the idealized image of motherhood and divinity, introducing something awkward, fragile, and unresolved. The doll becomes a stand in for uncertainty, longing, and the persistent human desire for transformation, motherhood and nurturing. The work considers messianic belief not as a singular religious event, but as a recurring hope carried through time, often borne by women’s bodies and labor. By merging classical painting with a mass produced object, the piece collapses past and present, sacred and ordinary. It honors the women who have carried stories of faith, rebirth, and endurance. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Embrace Yourself As You Are found objects 9 x 5 x 5 I am a narrative found object assemblage sculptor. This work is from my Relationship With Female Beauty/Image Series. Women are bombarded with images of how we should look, what we should wear, the products we should use. Our face, our hair, our bodies are judged by some unrealistic standard. No wonder so many young girls struggle with body image. At the other end of the spectrum, we older women often feel we are invisible. I do feel that some women are now standing up to this barrage and reminding us that we are each beautiful in our own way. I am trying to do my part in this effort. I started collecting vintage compacts and beauty products and was motivated to create a series of work reminding us that we are so much more than our reflection in the mirror. All women and girls, all sizes, shapes, colors, and ages should feel beautiful about themselves. Whether you are a cowgirl or a ballerina "Embrace Yourself As You Are."

Help Us! digital, archival photograph 10 x 8 My photography portfolios deal with beauty that I find in simple places. I search for art in places often overlooked by people rushing by: street abstractions formed by the effects of traffic and the erosion of painted lines; art in the visible layers of torn papers restructured by random anonymous participants; torn ads; changes from weathering; oxidized rusted surfaces creating patterns and vistas; reflections in puddles; ponds, or store windows; ice patterns; simple arrangements of flowers and fruit at markets.

Esther acrylic on paper 30 x 24 My mother's birth name was Estera.

The painting "Esther" is an homage to my mom, a woman who had an artistic gift that was never realized.

R.B.J:Justice stains, foils, lashes, stitching, Elizabethan ruffle on cartapesta 12 x 7 x 6 During the COVID-19 pandemic I made masks--not for health protective reasons or to distribute to health care workers but to record what was happening during that regime changing era. In September 2020, our honorable Supreme Court justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg died. Like many women and men, I looked up to her and admired her accomplishments, particularly appreciating her advocacy for gender equality and women's rights, and for encouraging women to speak up about their experiences with sexual harassment. I honored her life with a cool-blue mask, stitched on her eyeglasses so she could continue to look over us and our lives, and amplified her signature collar with an Elizabethan ruffle. The mask is part of my "The Future Has an Ancient Face" series of 24 masks that chronicle political, cultural and medical events during the 2 years of the 2020-2022 pandemic.
