Summer Small Works 2026

The Window That Held the Night No.1 photograph 11 x 14 The Window That Held the Night No. 1 was photographed at the Lunar Faire on a night when the moon was a thin crescent. Its faint light offered little illumination, allowing the artificial glow of the fair to shape the scene. Two shadows cross the weathered boards of an old barn. Their bodies are not visible. Only the forms they leave behind appear, stretched and altered by the light that holds them for a moment. At the center of the wall is a dark window. It does not reveal an interior. It simply holds the night. It absorbs light and resists reflection, becoming a still point within the composition. The shadows fall toward it without touching, as if drawn into the same field of tension. The worn surface of the barn carries the marks of time and exposure. It becomes a ground for these passing forms, holding them briefly before they shift and disappear. A quiet exchange emerges between permanence and impermanence, structure and fleeting presence. While the Faire is filled with sound and color, this image comes from its quieter edge, where light and darkness shape one another and absence takes on form. This work is my attempt to keep what time has already taken. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    

Veiled etching and monotype 10 x 14 This piece was inspired by marriage traditions in India where often women are required to veil themselves once they are wed. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    

No Cuckoos Here bronze sculpture 9 x 13 x 9 I frequently use found objects in my work. This beautiful burlwood bowl suggested a nest, and s many of the subjects of my sculptures are birds. I have combined the two in this piece. A graceful sycamore branch and leaf and three handmade wood bird's eggs tie the elements together in a graceful manor.

Sam paper on canvas 12 x 9 I attended the outdoor, evening gig where this young man was playing keyboard. I was inspired by the halo effect created by the hot pink stage lighting behind him, as well as the movement created by the breeze. The subject matter in my work varies widely, because as in this case, I am often taken with a scene or an image and immediately wonder if I can capture it in paper, which is my only medium. There is no paint in any of my work. All the color is derived from the papers, in a non-traditional collage technique. Sometimes a single paper is just the right color, but usually several layers are required to achieve the right hue and intensity.

Conversation with Orange acrylic, pastel and charcoal on canvas. 8 x 8 Color is central to my work. It carries emotion, establishes rhythm and shapes atmosphere. Texture and line also help build layers of movement and energy to draw the viewer into the work Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    

Seeking Light acrylic on canvas 10 x 10 I am inspired when natural elements reflect my internal process. In this case, it is the ever evolving journey from darkness toward LIGHT. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    

Crescent Moon acrylic on paper 7.75 x 7.75 As a mostly abstract painter, sometimes images emerge from the paint. Often they are only fleeting and soon painted out but Sometimes they seem to make their presence known and become a part of the composition. As the Crescent Moon emerged, I was glad to acknowledge it and welcome its presence in this painting.

Morning oil on panel 12 x 15 Morning comes early some days. But even when the coffee hasn't kicked in yet, that glow that permeates all things as the sun emerges over the horizon - It calms us and reminds us that every day has the potential to be a beautiful day.

To Market basswood sculpture 14 x 14 x 8 I was inspired to carve TO MARKET after observing women throughout the world carrying heavy loads on their heads with apparent ease. For these women, transporting workloads in this manner is not only efficient but also a necessity of daily life—in both rural and urban environments. Within this necessity lies its beauty. My sculpture aims to highlight the quiet dignity and gracefulness of these women at work. My creative process began with making a small clay maquette of 3 women with varied gaits. I chose basswood as the carving material because its subtle grain pattern would not detract from the overall form. I also incorporated the base into the sculpture to convey the women’s connection with the ground they walk on. The final sculpture is sanded but unstained, my way of emphasizing the unadorned simplicity of the subject matter.

Late Summer oil on linen mounted on Raymar panel 9 x 15 This plein air artwork was completed on a breezy late summer day. I was accompanied by a friend who knew the owner of this northern Maryland farm, who welcomed those who recorded the landscape in art. The painting captures that landscape, which was full of movement from the constant breeze that enveloped the area, shifting color at a moment's notice. This painting is a dialogue of color and light.

Yallah jamel sculpture: cast bronze 11 x 12 x 6 I had a great respect for this animal after spending 3 days in the Moroccan desert. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    

Inner Light transparent watercolor on traditional watercolor paper 13.5 x 13.25 This piece was done using a technique that I've been having a lot of fun with. It allows me to play and experiment. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
