My garden is full of inspiration but this bloom was almost fading. I captured the purple color while it lasted but combined it with a layer of watercolor that I mixed and photographed separately, to create a more painterly adaptation of how my garden usually bursts with color.

This young woman had thick blue-black hair and a deep rich red sweater. The light source was way off to the side and created a beautiful pattern of light and shadow shapes across her face. The challenge was to indicate all the drama while still maintaining balance with the soft and gentle.

My art is a celebration of spontaneity and the beauty that emerges from controlled chaos. Using collage with a limited color palette, I layer and then intentionally disrupt, often scrubbing under running water to reveal the unexpected. This process of destruction and revelation brings about surprises that I cherish. I then enhance these emergent images with a pop of color or drama to capture moments of vibrant contrast and harmony. Each piece evolves organically, blending intention with the unpredictable to create compositions that reflect the dynamic energy of creation itself. Through this exploration, I invite viewers to immerse themselves in the layers of my artistic journey.

I was drawn in by the peaceful expression of this man and was inspired to capture this mood on paper. Charcoal seemed best for the look I was going for so I started with a light drawing on MiTeintes and filled in the darker areas with charcoal, lifting with a kneaded eraser where needed to render the features as well as I could. I added a few final touches in white pencil. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.9 x 10.5"Charcoal and charcoal pencil on grey MiTeintes

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.

Richard Serra's monumental, subtle, and astonishing steel sculptures in the Bilbao Guggenheim left an indelible impression on me. The surfaces of many of the sculptures are almost Japanese in effect to my mind, and I sought to evoke some of the patterns using silverpoint and a palimpsest use of Polychromos pencil.

Having created one-of-a-kind stone sculptures over the past fifty years, I normally work on a very large scale. The "petite" Rose Aura represents my joy in finding within the rock a form open, flowing, and involved. The veining of this particular stone intrigued me with its many veins and patterns.

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.

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

Little Madison came to model for me but she was very shy and didn't know what pose to take. She began crying when she saw that people would be watching, but I promised her that they would look at me, and not at her. I asked her what she did for fun and she said she loved to draw. I said, "Me too! Would you like to use my drawing pencils and paper and make some drawings for me?" For over two hours she sat and drew, while I created this little sculpture. Her purple shoes led me to believe that deep inside this shy little girl, there was a big artist inside.

As an artist, I work with paint, canvas, cloth, clay, wood, and found objects to create pieces that make the materials part of the subject matter. Whether abstract or figurative, my work will often integrate tactility into its design, but it is not the product of a conscious or intellectual plan; I believe I work within an intuitive context, as though the imagery springs directly from the unconscious in the manner of automatic writing. I feel deeply the mystery of things. As Martin Heidegger said, the fundamental question is Why are there Things? I feel that the things I create, like Baudelaire’s forest of symbols, look at me with comprehending eyes.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.
