  • Rebirth Transfer Film Print of Digital Collage on Paper Size of Piece: 8 x 12 x 1

    I am inspired by the ability of flowers to bring joy even in the darkest of times. In this piece, the contrast in value between the dark background and the light flowers reflects the flowers’ emotional push against darkness which is further emphasized by the subtle gradations in value surrounding the flowers. The value contrasts in the image are further enhanced by the strong color contrasts.

    I began the image by drawing flowers in a garden and adding color with pencil and paint. I modified the value, color, forms and composition of the result to create a digital collage in Photoshop. The final image is a digital transfer of the collage to arches 88 paper using transfer film and transfer solution.

  • Beach No.5 Silkscreen on Paper Size of Piece: 15 x 22

    My work investigates resemblance of particular surroundings in connection with site specific placement. What interests me is the interconnection with the landscape and the viewer themselves, impression of their own identity, and peculiar memories in the specific surrounding.

    In this particular print series, I worked with the beach scapes of the unforgettable Cape Cod area, often working on location while preparing first drawings and color sketches. By combining layered imagery, working with a dramatic contrast and values, along with the innovative methods of digital print and halftone, I was able to investigate the ability to recall certain memories, good and bad that often stopped a viewer in their tracks, and let them escape to the unknown while at the ocean side.

  • Relax Shack Digital Archival Photograph Sublimated to Aluminum Size of Piece: 16 x 20

    I am passionate about photography as an art form. In a world overfull with images, ideas, and messages streaming at us at warp speed, there is profound value in the thoughtfulness, the provocation, the silent aesthetic, the power of a single image made with the vision and ever evolving techniques of fine art photography.

  • Resting Rainbow Mixed Media Size of Piece: 28 x 32

    Light the force that breathes life and vibration into color. The essence of existence.  The stunning way we reflect all things in each others light. How we learn. How we dance. How we love… and begin again

  • Balloon Girl Among the Clouds Digital Collage on Paper Size of Piece: 8 x 8

    My creative process is very intuitive. An image presents itself to me with a certain resonance and calls upon other images or fragments of images to join it to form something quite different. It's alchemical--a visual amalgam--images attracting other fragments gestating into a new--perhaps unexpected--whole. It is like bird watching or even like catching butterflies in a net.

  • Reading by the Seashore Acrylic/Canvas Size of Piece: 16 x 20

    Girl by the Seashore was painted from imagination,  another way I work.  Sometimes, I paint from imagination directly, with maybe only a thought to where the work will go, but more often, and here, the composition is derived from a pencil drawing, originally from imagination I which made quite a few years ago and still love.  I draw a lot.  Here, I worked to get the light the way I wanted it.

  • Dreaming Acrylics on Mylar Size of Piece: 20 x 16 x 1.25

    As artists, we spend many hours in our studios. We are familiar with the

    concept of isolation. But at the same time, we also fuel our creativity in our

    outings away from the studio and by experiencing life and our surroundings

    to the fullest.

    This artwork was created in the middle of the pandemic...

    My heart was pounding hard, ready to explode with the necessity to express

    myself. I was ready to tell the world that I was alive and full of energy, love,

    plans and so much to do and say... I was bursting with creativity!

    And that is how this series called “Catharsis” started…

  • Angst and Toys Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 20

    The  values and colors in painting Angst and Toys are used to create a certain  mood, atmosphere.  Intense variations of  Blue are supposed to provoke mysterious and dramatic feeling. The light coming from a light house and an invisible source of light from the right  create red reflections on mothers;s and child's  faces, warm coats and gloves.. The combination of colors and their values in this painting speak of an emotional memory where reality and imagination are tightly interwoven.

  • Girl with Curlers Pencil and Pastel, Pencil on Paper Size of Piece: 10 x 8

    “Girl with Curlers” is a portrait of my younger sister.  I was inspired when I saw her wearing her curlers in front of a window, the light from which bathed her hair and face in a soft glow.  I used an HB pencil, along with white, brown, and red pastel pencils on cream-colored paper to create a soft, minimalistic color scheme and used value to capture the interplay between the softness of her face and pajamas and the darker geometric mass of her hair in large curlers.

  • Contemplation Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 20 x 16

    I was inspired by the contrast of the model against the light background, and the shadows that were created by the light source. My creative process was to establish the lights and darks. These are the vehicles to determine the correct values, I aimed to capture the confident, contemplative expression of the model.

  • Night of the Soul Collagraph Print Size of Piece: 5 x 7

    This piece captures the chaos of the night. A collagraph, like many printing techniques, reveals itself to you as it comes off the press, much like the night magically turns into day. The interplay of lights and darks describe my nights of short bursts of sleep contrasted with wakefulness. There's a dreamy yet also unsettling aspect to the piece.

    It was created with a substrate of cardboard, inks that were applied and wiped away, printed in pieces. The line work adds to its mystery.

  • Crayola Photography, Digital Size of Piece: 18 x 12 x .000032

    Years of experience in the profession of architecture and interior design inspire me to photograph buildings. I have a particular passion for weathered structurers; with colorful ones adding extra charm. The Caribbean is one of my favorite places to fulfill my vision. ‘Crayola’ and ‘George Street’ can be found in Nassau where there is a plethora of colonial English architecture infused with a vibrant tropical color palette. I pack my Nikon and wander the streets searching for potential subjects with sharp lines, high contrast and aim for compositions of colorful saturated blocks of adjacent solid planes.
