Photograph 30 x 20 in. w/frame 34 x 24 in. Red Descent: Descenso Rojo is a visual narrative exploring life and identity through my mother’s Puerto Rican culture. This photograph showcases a hibiscus, the national flower, viewed through red glass that forms an eye-like aperture, symbolizing a birth canal. The red vase, a sentimental gift from my mother on Valentine’s Day, adds personal depth to the piece. The vivid hues echo the passion and intensity of the island, while the glass emulates waves of the sea, and flowing blood, capturing the essence of both strength and resilience. The flower’s human-like figure embodies the journey of birth and rebirth, reflecting a profound interplay of chaos and tranquility. The eye-like structure suggests awareness and introspection, inviting a view through a lens of rich heritage and personal growth. This image celebrates the enduring spirit and beauty emerging from transformative experiences. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Photograph printed on watercolor paper using liquid light 20 x 15 in. My photographic goal has been to achieve simplicity of design and composition reminiscent of classical style. I have created images, often using as my subject the reflection of my own body in mirrors. The reflected image brings a surreal quality to the images, transcending time and space. My model is a woman in search of her lost identity: a mother, daughter, lover, and divorced wife, torn between her traditional upbringing and her present life in a foreign land. In 1989, I started using “liquid light” on watercolor paper with my photographs in the darkroom, painting with this medium to show the brush strokes. In my own style, I achieve a unique combination of strokes and images, so that my photographs may look like Japanese black brush paintings. By using brush strokes I was able to bring flowing movement into my pictures, resulting in fascinating visual effects.

B/W silver photograph on fiber with inks 9.5 x 9.5 in. w/frame 16.5 x 16.5 in. While enjoying some street photography on Ninenzaka Walkway, Kyoto, Japan, a lovely, young woman in full Geisha regalia ran past me at the speed of light. With no time to prepare, I instinctively snapped a photo. Then, as if an apparition, she was gone. Later, I found her facial expression curious. Contemplative? Reflective? Amused? This black and white silver image is printed on archival fiber paper and hand-colored with Marshall inks. The custom frame is inspired by Japanese frames. It has a silk-wrapped matt inner frame bordered by a mahogany liner frame, and a mahogany-toned wooden outer frame.

Unique Platinum/palladium photograph 5 x 7 in. w/frame 11 x 14 in. In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in everyday life, the commonplace or ordinary scenes in the environment. These images offer us rare moments of solitude, time to slow down and observe the world around us, and to enjoy quiet beauty and serenity. A photograph captures a portion of this beauty and tranquility, offering viewers quiet moments of reflection. Some of my favorite places to photograph are close to home, along city streets and nature trails. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in, providing an opportunity to examine nature and the built environment. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. A strong sense of design is also important in these images. I use the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the images. The platinum/palladium process, a time- honored process, also renders a rich tonal scale and permanence to the images. It is a time-intensive, hand- made process—from coating the paper with varying mixtures of the platinum/palladium solution to exposing the negatives to sunlight and contact printing the image. Each platinum/palladium print is a unique, vintage quality print. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

35mm digital image 18 x 12 in. w/frame 26 x 20 in. The image titled 489 was produced from a 35mm digital image. Other than saving it a jpg no other actions took place in Photoshop. The image was captured on an early July morning at a local kayak shop. The bright, colorful design shows the reflection of a rack of kayaks on the side of a glossy black box trailer. I could not resist the playful, abstract shapes that changed forms with every step as I approached. The pattern of the black panel rivets creates a repeating rhythm to the design.

Digital photograph printed on Epson photo paper 13 x 10 in. This photo is close to my heart, taken while on tour with my now adult daughter in Vietnam. The grandmother seemed very confused while the younger women pointing a figure at her called her out. The tired look on her face, the protected child on her back, the woman behind her hearing and taking note… all called to my sense of awareness of kindness lost.

Photograph 12 x 12 in. I felt so fortunate to have caught this special moment of two women friends, one cool summer morning as they walked together in the sea. I loved that they were touching, as though one was guiding or encouraging the other to move through the water, perhaps deep in conversation. I feel this scene said so much, especially since they were alone. It speaks to friendship. The joy and encouragement we experience from it and the importance of connection.

Photography 15.28 x 13.6 in. Becoming a commuter late in life, the visuals in the subway have sensitized me to the lives of all those who ride, guide and sustain the system, and how they protect their personal space. In a city of nearly 8 million, the diversity and impact of so many lives upon each other, requires this protection That said, it is also the moments when those boundaries are broken by the good or bad interactions, that defines the residents' and visitors' experience.

Photograph on watercolor fine art paper 11 x 14 in. w/ frame 16 x 20 in. The forest is my sanctuary, a place where I can slow down and appreciate Nature's gifts—serenity, solace, and healing. It's where I reconnect with a sense of childlike awe and collective bonding to its physical, mental, and spiritual riches of light and connectivity. My works capture the dappled light and life up close and personal, creating a symbiotic relationship with the past and present. The subjects of lichen, moss, algae, and insects showcase the symbiotic relationship with trees in textural detail and harmonizing colors found beneath the trees and offer observations of symbiotic life, hope, and light of our collective future.

Digital photo ltd ed signed on front 11 x 14 in. In Tales of a Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes said: “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.” I take my camera out. I may choose a subject; I may think “that would make a great picture”; I may visit a new place or one I’ve seen before. I want to observe and to present things in a way that causes the viewer to stop and observe. I want people to see other people.

Digitally enhanced photograph 12 x 12 in. Making sense of the world these days can be overwhelming. Life is complicated and the stimuli constant.
