“Illumine” is part of a body of work (“Remembered Land”) which is inspired by my distant memories of the beautiful English countryside of my childhood - the numinous mood and atmosphere that I sensed as a child, the feeling of transcendental harmony with the natural world, and the eternal lacuna between memory and myth. “Illumine” goes beyond what we see with the naked eye, embracing the philosophy of tonalist pictorialism. Elements of emotionalism and romanticism emphasize expression, mood, and mystery through the use of color, light, shadow, soft focus, and atmospheric perspective. As an Atelier trained, multi-disciplinary artist who practices both hand-made chemical photography and the classical painting techniques of the old masters, my work goes beyond literal representation, embracing painterly darkroom techniques and pallets to deeply express nostalgic feelings about my homeland and its larger-than-life amber presence in my mind.

In this painting, I capture an orange and a lobster claw at a very spellbinding moment with the fluctuations of light and dark to remind viewers of the beauty in everyday life. My goal is to imbue the viewers with rich sensations; something that will last through time and touch people deeply.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.I work on an intimate scale, which invites viewers to look closely. While this work, done over a couple of years, is on a wooden panel, many of my paintings are on paper -- again at a small scale. This work is a response to the wildfire skies seen in NY, while others in the series, respond to clearing skies and more.Oil, wax, and graphite on wood panel 10 x 10"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.I am a New York-based painter working in oils, gouache, and watercolor. I paint places, people, and things that are dear to my heart, collecting and distilling the images from memory or my photographs. I use my intuitive sense of color and composition to reflect my emotional relationship to the subject. In my abstract work, I create mandalas and other patterns in sacred geometry which I find mediative and centering. I paint on linen, canvas, and wood panels mostly within the satisfying limitations of a square. My paintings often reveal quiet moments that reflect my desire to counter the vicissitudes of the daily news and one's life experiences. I paint because I love the materials and to express and uncover my relationship with the subject matter.Oil on board 10 x 10"

This sculpture was formed by my blowing up a balloon and wrapping wafer think porcelain around it; then detailing it with 23k gold leaf. I titled it Clare De Lune as it is meant to recall the light we so often see on the side of the moon. It is part of a small series I've created in keeping with my nature theme. I used a particularly translucent porcelain to achieve the effect. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.8.5 x 6 x 4.5"Ceramics

I often transcribe works to explore composition and color and try new ways of working. In this painting, I tried to follow Cezanne's approach of using color to create the shapes and forms.

These decorative prints are an homage to nature: flowers and birds. Traditionally, flowers symbolize decadence and the transitory nature of life. Ephemeral flowers become eternal in a photograph, the essence of their beauty and light captured with a camera. Turning flowers and birds into eye-catching, decorative objects immortalizes them. This print is a cross-disciplinary fusion of digital photography and traditional intaglio printmaking. With an intaglio or etching, colorful flowers and birds become monochromatic. Nature is eternal, but observed moments are fleeting, the changing light captured by photography. How does a photographer represent them in some way that is different from the infinite number of representations that have come before? The nature of printmaking, which existed long before photography, suggests an ephemeral moment fixed in time, striking a monochromatic note that makes the viewer pause to observe it.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.14 x 11" In my artwork, I capture the simple beauty in the natural environment, providing moments of serenity. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. This image was originally captured with infrared film; the negative was subsequently scanned and transformed into a digital negative. I then contact-printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th-century idyllic landscapes, and lending a poetic quality to the image.Platinum/palladium photography

Field-test: to test something by using it in the actual conditions it was designed for Field Test is comprised of four small oil paintings: Yellow House, Checkerboard, Flowers, and Circus Tent. Each panel was painted as a standalone artwork that could also be viewed together as a quadriptych. After being isolated during the 2020 pandemic, socializing and exploring commonplace, frequently visited locations seemed like new experiences. The tasks, outings, and recreations that were once part of everyday life became not so normal anymore. I equated venturing out as some sort of field test of the new normal. Slowly we began to forget what that was like and life turned routine again. With this work, I hoped to capture the wonder, awe, and even hesitation with which we approach new experiences.

My inspiration was the beauty of the sunflower fields in Provence. The French so artfully place an object in a field of beauty so that artists like me will be inspired. I treated this piece with cold wax to make the piece stand out without glass and to protect the print from the environment.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.I am interested in how nature can act as a metaphor, for instance, how to personify hope, aging, nobility, etc. This ceramic bust was fired in the Japanese Raku process. The word 'Raku' means enjoyment. The figure here is a portrait of my mother, the "Garden Lady." Her head is slightly uplifted, eyes and mouth smiling. Hummingbirds, a dragonfly, a daisy, and gardenia flowers, all symbols of joy adorn the figure. The crackle glaze is a natural result of the quick firing and cooling.Raku fired ceramics with underglazes 9.75 x 9 x 6"

Due to the lockdown, I found myself attending more and more virtual meetings and interacting with people on a screen. These works depict a screenshot of those people and the spaces behind them during these meetings. I strategically used silhouettes, which both safeguard privacy and add an element of intrigue. While protecting a person’s identity, I also offer an intimate glimpse into their personal spaces – pictures on the wall, books on their shelves, pets on their laps, prompting reflections on the dichotomy of connection and isolation in our digital reality.paper, fabric, photographs

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.My art is a profound dialogue between our planet’s crisis and my creative expression. Our planet and its elements are in a delicate balance, we hold the outcome in our hands by how we can prevent worsening climate change. Our land is constantly transforming and as our planet continues to warm, we see these effects more profound and rapid. I see inspiration in the beauty of the ocean, as well as the elements of the planet in its organic and abstract nature. My paintings represent the changing seas, land, and Earth’s balance. I am creating a story of our planet, a story we are writing, the history we are making, and the future we will be living. In my paintings, I use a mixture of mediums to create illuminating and transparent effects. I work with acrylic and oil, pigment powders, ink, and gold leaf markers.acrylic, gold leaf, ink on board 14 x 14"

Working in encaustic media is always a process of exploration and experimentation with frequent nice surprises. One has to be willing to allow the unexpected to reign, to relax control. Then the nature of the wax and the pure pigments reveal themselves without artificial constraint. Flowing wax and brilliant color dominate.

While my father was suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, he lived with our family for six years. We kept him out of a nursing home as long as possible, until the last year necessitated it, even though he had the long-term insurance coverage to be in one longer. This was his first stay in a nursing home during an extended family vacation. Nursing homes had always seemed to me in the past, to be places where people became invisible and ignored by family, so our need to place him there during this first temporary stay was very upsetting to me...plus that night he was running a low-grade fever from a sinus infection and wasn't feeling well. I took a series of photos and re-composed his image with others in the waiting room in wheelchairs, placed behind him. I soon learned that people may need to have this extra help, no matter how distasteful the prospect.

Every weekend I love hiking in the woods. One of my favorite hikes passes through wonderful gardens, and I cannot help myself but keep taking pictures of the beauties I find there. Flowers were always my most successful paintings, and to this day, I love painting flowers. I can employ the rich colors I love, and create paintings with intricate, interlocking patterns that nerveless result in a harmonious whole.

Everything seems so tense these days. There is so much stress, uncertainty, animosity, and a general fear of the future, the likes of which is a new experience in my life. It’s not just me though, everyone around me appears to be in the same situation. I am now seeking peace and calmness wherever I can find it, in hopes of offsetting all the negativity and worry about where we are all headed. I find that I can still find peace in nature, in beautiful undisturbed landscapes, and in the philosophy of acceptance, for those things that you cannot change in your life. When I sit calmly to paint these scenes it fosters serenity. My hope is that those who view the paintings obtain a sense of tranquility too.

Every summer we would stay on the bluff overlooking the Skidaway River. On the incoming tide, we would put on our bathing suits and our tennies to go swimming in the river. But you had to be careful not to get cut by the oysters and the Spartina grass. That and rowing the bateau out to catch crabs and play with the dolphins was the best.

These were particularly welcome popping up through the snow. I had intended to refine this further. But after walking away from it for a bit, in what I had thought a somewhat unfinished state, I changed course. The impression imparts the fleetingness of these small wonders.Oil on canvas

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.I love the variety and creative energy of the city but also the hidden places and quiet moments that appear serendipitously in my rambles around the city. My paintings often incorporate dramatic light and perspective to expose the craft and subtle colors of easily overlooked elements of the urban environment. For example, Drain Pipe, Henry Hudson Parkway is a detail of a structure I have painted many times in many lights. This small painting captures a quiet sunset moment under the parkway looking across the river.Oil on canvas 8 x 6"

I work intuitively, building up and sanding away many layers of paint, collage, and mark-making until I feel the painting is resolved. Bermuda Triangle was created during the pandemic at a time of high stress and anxiety. As with all my work, this piece is a reflection of my emotional landscape at the time. My creative process is a search for truth, but also for peace and resolution.

I love ponds, lakes, ocean and everything involved with water above and below the surface. I am painting a series which is inspired by the fishes' view. Pond Lily Buds is one of them.

I am an abstract painter, and I work primarily in watercolors with mixed media elements, such as acrylic ink, water-soluble pencils, and collage. I’m inspired by the interplay of colors, shapes, and uneven lines, and I love the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor paints. Layering an unexpected mix of materials to create a cohesive whole gives me endless possibilities for creative expression. I work very intuitively: I always have a starting point - a particular color combination or focal point - but then I just go wherever inspiration leads me, often surprising myself! My artwork is often influenced by nature, and I find myself particularly drawn to loose rounded shapes, which have become a recurring motif in much of my work. These organic shapes might take the form of stones, eggs, or nests, and they speak to me of wholeness, resilience, buoyancy, and harmony. They feel like home.

I have had two marriages and one long partnership. Living single is freedom with difficulties...I remember feeling lonely, unmoored, and also unfettered. But a partnership can present a different set of problems. My heroine is floating alone, in calm waters. Beneath her is a world of possibilities, danger, and infinite choices. She is free and pondering her future, as I am constantly questioning my own. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.8 x 7"watercolor

Having created one-of-a-kind stone sculptures over the past fifty years, I normally work on a very large scale.

“Perfect is the enemy of good” is a quote usually attributed to Voltaire. While I appreciated the warning inherent in the message, I was caught up in classical techniques that I felt were a historically validated process and a pre-trodden pathway to excellence. It was the “right” way to do things. I cannot explain…even to myself…how or why I yearned to explore other ways of working. Was it the isolation of the pandemic? Left to myself…fewer exhibitions to participate in…and time…? Perhaps that was the conspiracy allowing me to refocus and approach sculpture as if I was just learning for the first time. YouTube taught me how to make a cup from a slab of clay… No model…no armature…no mandate. I experimented with the ceramic way of building and after several workshops…SLAB Work took off. The results are portraits that are playful and honest and leave the viewer to come to their own conclusions. To rediscover sculpture in a new way at this stage in my career has been amazing and energizing.

On the Border is an etching based on an original landscape drawing done of a creek that marks the border between two states. Reflection following an unexpected illness in late fall prompted me to return to etching copper plates, the metal that first attracted me to printmaking. A harder substance that requires slow-biting ferric acid, copper draws out the production process but allows the artist to work in greater detail and delve deeper into the quality of line. The result is always worth the wait. Copper creates its own magical world, a visual link to printmakers of the past.

I create expressive sculptural forms from natural materials, drawing inspiration from both nature and the human figure, yet venturing toward abstraction. The essence of my work often embodies a biomorphic aesthetic, offering a tangible representation of our human connection to the environment. The idiosyncrasies of each piece of stone or wood present unique technical and creative opportunities. I approach this with a blend of intuitive and calculated design solutions. The inspiration for this work was to upcycle leftover pieces in my studio. I am also venturing into working additively instead of subtractively.

Wildfires happen every year where I live in California. They are scary and even if they’re not too close by, the air gets polluted with ash and smoke. Panic was inspired by the ongoing wildfires the year this was made. Hand embroidery gives me options that other mediums do not. Sewing and growing an image, stitch by stitch, adds to its narrative. The long process of stitching an encroaching fire, roiling water, or a flooded landscape raises the drama. The process of hand embroidery is engrossing and exciting. Including the weave and textures of the background textile into the piece adds to the possibilities. The potential of this medium draws me into my studio every day.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.I believe the connection between an artist and their viewer is possible through the recognition of familiar imagery. While presenting most challenges for the artist, traditional realism is the easiest way to ensure that connection. Realism is not a thing from the past that only belongs in museums but rather a clear, eloquent language that can get a contemporary message across, be serious or whimsical, humorous, or even playful.Oil on panel 7 x 13"
