    Above and Below

    Acrylic on paper mounted on canvas 10 x 10 x 1.5"
    Welcoming my inner child, a curly headed girl playing with the magic of color, freely exploring energetic worlds of my imagination connects me with my true spirit. Above and Below depicts sea creatures below with a vibrant sunset above the horizon. Depth perception is felt in the free form swirling deep blue line work adjacent to a white horizon line. Your eyes dive into the sea below and swirl up into the warmth above.

    Go With the Flow

    Pastel on Paper 16 x 12 x 1"
    A stop on the bridge over the marsh at Sesuit Neck in East Dennis reveals a different outlook from day to day, season to season, tide to tide. On a memorable recent viewing, the water was rushing in a way I had never seen before. One could viscerally feel the motion and imagine being carried along to open sea.

    Nearing the Clearing

    Pastel on Paper 11 x 14 x 1"
    Walking the beach near my home on Cape Cod was a saving grace during the seemingly endless days of the Covid era lockdown. I was so grateful to have fresh air and space to breathe freely despite the threat of darkness everywhere. One had to hold onto the hope that the clearing was coming if we only could walk far enough towards it.

    Life Memories of A Tree

    Oil on Canvas 48 x 24 x 1.5"
    Life Memories of A Tree is inspired by a tree in my neighborhood. The concept of all livings creatures somehow communicate with each other, and with us.. We must not only see them but also hear them. They communicate with us with every fresh branch, broken timber, and every strings in their body to tell us stories of their lifetime.

    Absence in Presence

    Cold wax oil on Birch panel 14 x 11 x .875"
    “The absence that defined it became the presence that defined them.” (Everything is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer) I keep a copy of this quote on my studio wall because it tweaks my imagination. In the novel it refers to a shared hole between two bedrooms. The recent unforeseen pandemic years have done much to remind me of our uncertain human condition within the energetic flux of life. This painting is my abstract vision of passing through dynamic energy into an unknowable future.

    Inside the Oculus

    Encaustic on board 5 x 7"
    The Oculus is located by the World Trade Center and operates as a transportation hub designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. While it is normally quite crowded I happened to be there when most people were wearing masks, avoiding crowds, and still social distancing. From the street level one enters to a platform two stories above, with a view of the entire concourse and soaring walls (if they can be called that), amid skylights to the ceiling. The building is stunning and the height and length of its interior, its depth, reduces those of us inside, to mere shadows of ourselves.

    Oncoming Traffic

    Encaustic on board 5 x 7"
    One rainy summer morning I drove my mother to a doctor’s appointment in Manhattan and waited in the car. Between the swishing wiper blades I began taking photographs of people out on the street, navigating the rain and the traffic. I often use toner transfers of photographs I’ve taken, in my encaustic work.This image appealed to me because although there is no real danger, the perception is that the traffic is just waiting to rush forward, while the woman is hurrying to get across the street, before that happens.

    Distant Voices Before Sleep

    Oil on Canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" I rely on the unconscious to paint meditations that are beyond my daily life, using paint to express what my language cannot. This painting reflects my sense of awe at the recognition that we are but tiny specks floating untethered enormous cosmos around us. I used an analogous color palette to create the misty, blurry sensations of my meditation on this vastness. These ideas are beyond my grasp and beyond my words. I recall Carl Sagan’s words that the Cosmos is “beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home."

    West End

    Acrylic 50 x 38 x 2"
    West End was inspired as I gazed out the window on a flight back from Ft Lauderdale on a crystal-clear morning. Leaving the urban jungle, the Atlantic Ocean consumed the horizon with a palette of deep blues and greens, sparkling like gems. As the West End of Grand Bahama Island came into view, the push and pull of tonal range increased creating an amazing design of shallows and depths. Inspired and in awe of this natural, abstract vision, West End was destined to be painted.

    Rush Over Me Like The Ocean

    Oil on Aluminum 21.5 x 31.5 x 1"
    I love watching the waves rush toward me when I stand at the water’s edge. I love to feel their cold hit my feet and pull the sand from my wiggling toes. On a hot summer day, I love laying on my back in the ocean and riding the swell of a broken wave. The water is a balm for my fiery skin. When the waves recede, I see the sparkle of sunlight on my body and feel like a child again. With a sense of playfulness and lightness, I am transformed.

    Birches and Lace

    Acrylic 20 x 20" In my painting, Birches and Lace, I explore memories and perceptions of the natural world through the colorful, gestural use of shapes and lines to mimic organic forms found in nature. The negative spaces between the trees take on just as much importance as the positive subject matter. While not true to life, the palette creates a conversation between cool and warm tones.

    Burnt Orange Woods

    Acrylic 40 X 30" Burnt Orange Woods was created as part of a series that I titled Perspective. The drawing elements and color fields in the negative spaces between the trees are used to create depth. The nontraditional colors create a dialogue when placed next to each other. I relied on my own experiences of hiking several trails throughout the United States to convey a universal sense of place.

    By the Well

    Digital Photography 24 x 35 x 1"
    I've been drawn to this space since the opening of new addition to Swartz Hall at Harvard University. It's an entryway connecting the existing Swartz Hall structure (built in 1911) and contemporary addition (built in 2021), which creates incredible flow of natural light. As I came to photograph this space for NAWA submission "Depth Perception", I encountered a permanent display of an ahkukq/cooking vessel, created by Artist and Mashpee Wampanoag member Nosapacket (Ramona Peters). Indigenous presence in clay provided an additional dimension of depth, so I reversed the image and it became "By the Well".

    Lavender Field

    Acrylic on Canvas 30 x 24 x 1.5"

    Romantic Evening at Pebble Beach

    Oil on Panel 12 x 24"
    Romantic Evening at Pebble Beach was painted "en plein air" on a deck overlooking the ocean, bluffs and cypress trees with Point Lobos in the distance. This is one of my favorite spots to paint. It offers something new every time depending on the time of day, the season, the clear or cloudy sky, the color of the sea, or the height of the waves. This rendition was done for the Carmel Art Festival on an evening in May. I started at about 5pm, working quickly to capture the light of the setting sun on the water.

    Springtime Seas

    Oil on Panel 18 x 18"
    Springtime Seas was painted "en plein air" on the sand in Pacifica, California.  The waves were high and the sea was reflecting the bluster of the clouds and wind of the brisk, Spring Day. It was fun to watch the waves rush in and crash, leaving tendrils of foam and wet sand on the shore. Gazing out to the horizon where the sea meets the sky, purples and pinks touched the clouds, shadows lengthened and the sun kissed the edges of the trees and the tops of the waves.

    Symbiotic

    Collage on deep wood panel 15.75 x 20 x 2.75"
    Symbiotic is part of a series called “Lessons From The Trees.“ It was inspired by Suzanne Simard and her research into North American forests. In her book titled “Finding The Mother Tree,” she explains that she discovered forest life is interconnected through an underground network of tree roots and fungi feeding and healing each other. This symbiotic relationship reminds us that we as a species have also survived throughout history in a similar interdependent manner—families and societies nurturing one another. This work of collage on board includes original photographs, hand-tinted papers, acrylic paint, pencil and ink.

    Queen Anne’s Staircase

    Photography 24 x 18"
    Queen Anne’s Staircase, in my eye, is a perfect example of Depth Perception.  As we climbed the staircase in this building, it was hard to see to the top and imagine how high it must be. The architect created a masterpiece of design, with just the right amount of height and width while embellishing it with a floral motif. As a photographer I tried to capture this beauty using a wide angle lens and removed all color tones to replicate the cold starkness that I felt as we ascended.

    The Moonscape of Wadi Rum

    Photography 18 x 24"
    Recently I had the privilege of visiting magnificent Wadi Rum desert in Jordan.  This magical land features sweeping red sand dunes and towering sandstone and huge granite rock formations. In this World Heritage site, I was able to experience humanity’s earliest beginnings. By placing my camera as close to the earth as possible and using a small lens aperture, my depth of field was expansive.  I was able to accomplish my goal: to bring the present and future together -  to emphasize the dunes while still showing the vistas in the distance.
