  • Into the Blue Nightscape Mixed Pastel/ Acrylics, Pencil Size of Piece: 9.75 x 6.5 I set a challenge for myself –my foray into COLOR language. Explore its symbolic memory-stories told with color/texture/value. Paint–THEN read the story. A HAZY landscape- going in or leaving all behind? Dawn or dusk? A middle vertical space parting- a door to a Soft Blue life beyond? Anchored by a bold horizontal Yellow (a barrier to overcome?) A Blue and Yellow contradiction ! Below- Airy Blue-Green path detouring to the right. Above- hovering Blue/Magenta- weighting on our will to move forward? The Thrill of Blue-Blue Shadows-Sacred Blue- Blue Gods Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Manifest Aluminum Print Size of Piece: 20 x 16 x 25 I like photographing translucent collages on a light box and enhancing the images to come up with new ways of seeing things. I started this practice when checking in with a therapeutic light box for my seasonal affective disorder. I started exploring ways of arranging shapes and colors with layers. The light holds in the finished work and the colors are jewel-toned. 'Energy in Motion' is about finding our power. Orange is a strong color and rules the naval center. Find your energy and move it. Manifest what you desire. Aluminum prints work well with this work. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Red Sky In Morning I Digital Size of Piece: 8 x 8 x 1 Red Sky in Morning I was actually inspired by color. I really wanted to create a painting using bright red. The composition emerged from there. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Open to Interpretation Digital Size of Piece: 8 x 8 x 1 For me the process of composing these composite images is one that I choose not to examine too closely. Suddenly a fragment of something in one of my photographs or from the internet will resonate in a particular way forming a kernel of.......... Then other objects will begin to congregate, to be attracted to, will deepen the meaning of, the mystery of, the depth of......... Finally a composition will emerge.

  • Seashore Reverie Digital Photograph Size of Piece: 11 x 14 For this photograph I used Olympus camera. The Image left a deep impression of intensity of color value, lights and darks as a focal point reflected from the water's surface. I saw reds, blues and yellow color as primary and large areas are in orange and green as secondary colors.. There is some Value contrast of whites creating a sense of volumetric depth. I apply some gradation values which provide contours to detail forms of water surface with some increase of color intensity in order to bring the image to life.

  • Enchanted Colors #1 Acrylic on Canvas Size of Piece: 20 x 20 "Enchanted Colors," and “Dialogue With Colors-Across The Sphere” emerged from my fascination with the interplay of vibrant hues and organic forms. The inspiration came from moments of reflection on nature's subtle beauty and the emotional resonance colors evoke. My creative process involves layering paint, allowing the colors to blend, interact, and reveal unexpected patterns and textures. I let intuition guide the flow of each brushstroke, embracing spontaneity while balancing structure and abstraction. In this work, I sought to capture a sense of movement and wonder—a visual echo of fleeting memories and emotions. The vibrant pinks, blues, and greens reflect an internal dialogue of joy, introspection, and curiosity. Through this piece, I aim to invite viewers into a world of dynamic Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Poppies Recycled Brown Bags & Acrylic Collage on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 36 x 2 My work is a reminder of the peaceful, centered energy of the miraculous, natural living world which surrounds us. My collages are made from torn, recycled brown shopping bags that I first paint with acrylics and then rip them and adhere the pieces to canvas. I am interested in the concept that the bags started out as trees and then were made into paper which was torn and collaged into an image of the natural world, which in itself provided the required inspiration and energy. I hope that the viewer thinks that they are looking at beautiful and serene paintings at first glance, then discover that they are viewing a collage that involved a painstaking genesis in the studio. Each is the product of many months or years of work.In addition, the pieces are often autobiographical.

  • Time for Pleasant Memories Acrylic with skins and collage Size of Piece: 11 x 14 Color has always been a major force in my creative process, and it is always an intuitive emotional choice. It is not unusual for me to look back after a days work and know myself better. These paintings were done during a period of calm after some difficult times. The clock painting, "Time for Pleasant Memories" began with pulling apart a maze of small time pieces which no longer worked.. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Provence Acrylic on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 36 I have always been enamored of Turner's palette, and thought I would try an interpretation of my own. The Provence region of France is one of my favorite places to visit, especially when the lavender is in bloom. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Seeing the World in Color Acrylic Size of Piece: 20 x 16 SEEING THE WORLD IN COLOR In this vibrant self-portrait, I weave a tapestry of color and joy, capturing my reflection in dancing rainbow hues. My brushstrokes burst with optimism, embodying my cheerful spirit. My gaze reveals a soul that sees beauty in extraordinary and everyday moments. This painting invites you into my world, where art transforms the ordinary into joy, and each day is awash in hope for the future. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Mexican Dancer Digital Photograph Size of Piece: 17.25 x 12.5 x 1 I love photographing people on the street. "Mexican Dancer", one of my earliest works was taken in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and it was during a show that took place on the beach. The beautiful colors of the dancer's dress, as well as the elegant motion, inspired me to take this portrait. I waited for the moment she paused after the dance was over. This piece did take a bit of post processing, to darken the background, which was very busy. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
