Painting Succulents at Groundswell 12 x 12 x 1 in. "Succulents at Groundswell" was created en plein air at Groundswell Bakery & Cafe in Tiverton, Rhode Island. I am inspired by the café’s curated gardens and displays.

Painting Madame Issac Pereire 14 x 11 x .001 in. Moving on in life I became steadily aware of the fact that my relationship with dreams and aspirations had become disconnected, survival became the guiding star.

Works on Paper Life Force 22 x 29 x 1 in. My work from my teens to now is represented in transparent watercolor of nature or history. Living in California for 20 years, I took workshops in acrylic, collage, and monotype print making.

Painting View of the Pond Through the Reeds 20 x 16 x 1 in. I was on a plein air painting trip to the Brandywine area, and was inspired by the landscape of a beautiful Delaware park, which had a river running through it, and ponds with native grasses and flowers. It was a hot, humid summer day, but the vibrant green of the grasses and reeds beside the water were worth studying. There always seems to be joy in the way wild vegetation grows next to water. I wanted to communicate that sensation. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Painting Above the Skyline 60 x 48 x 1.5 in. My paintings are very textural. The smoothness, roughness and softness of the paint on the canvas reveal the feelings of calm, energy and resiliency. My paintings hold hundreds of lines, angles and shapes. Texture is created with the palette knife and is either quickly or slowly pushed across the surface. Paint applied in a slow billowy swirl or hard structural edges depict life’s ups and downs. My work shows a love of design and representational art. The past has come and gone and the future is something to dream away this moment to be revealed in my art. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mixed Media Trichaptum Fungi (Trichaptum abietinum) 40 x 30 in. My work reflects my close observation of nature. I attempt to capture its endless fluctuations: shifting light, variegated colors, constant movement, evolving forms, evidence of resident fauna. Working abstractly, yet botanically accurately, I surprise viewers with unusual views revealing the complex design inherent in often unnoticed life. By sharing the beauty of humble local ecosystems, I hope to induce viewers to look deeply. I am exquisitely aware that, though nature is our collective home, human activity has caused irreparable losses of habitat, resource, and species. My work, thus, aims to respond to ecologists’ call for native ecosystem rediscovery and restoration. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Painting She, Bright as Yellow 16 x 16 x 2 in. 'She, Bright as Yellow' moved me to paint. From corsets, panty hose, Skims and Spanx we are so often asked to constrict, to make smaller. Working from my series of underwater works titled ‘Coming Up For Air”, the painting included in this submission reflect on the notion of breath; fighting for and finding the space to breathe in. My work is a joyful reclamation. Through provocation, humor, and strength, I examine equality and personal truths through a contemporary figurative lens. I explore the complex ways we all navigate in the spaces that surround us, and how I hope my work emboldens women to take up space. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Painting Will You Catch Me? 16 x 16 x 2 in. This piece- Will You Catch Me? - was part of a body of work inspired by 'play'- in the way that many artists, such as myself, utilize playfulness to get into the process of art making. With this piece, my process started with mark making, collage. painting, removing, drawing into, printmaking, until ideas began to emerge - a fantasy under and over water perhaps (?) since I am surrounded by quarries and ocean. Eventually a theme around risk-taking (with or without a net) began to surface. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

SoldMixed Media Red Skirt 12 x 18 x 1 in. Movement, ecstasy, yearning-all are revealed in the dance! Fascinated, I find the dancer-art leading me to look at my creativity with new eyes. As a photographer, I start each piece with a camera, portraying an impressionist view of the dance. In this piece, I noticed details of her hand and her flaring skirt.

This tactile approach connects me deeply to the work. This body of work has challenged me to grow as an artist and human. I feel myself asked to look into my very soul to rediscover the multiple facets of my own humanity.

Fiber Arts NUBIGI ,000,097. 9 x 14 in. All of the tiltles of art work include the term "NUBIGi" and a number. Numbers just state the order of art work. NUBIGi means sewing in Korean. For me, sewing means passing through time. The needle pierces the fabric, and the thread connects the holes with the holes, drawing lines and planes from the points.

Mixed Media Painting American Art Spirit 20 x 16 x 2 in. The American Art Spirit is an oil painting of a male dancer in jeans leaping gracefully across the Hudson River.

Painting Yellow Door 20 x 16 in. Vibrant Colors and Rich textures are a signature of my works. My paintings are always a process. I work intuitively as the image evolves. Varied layers of glazing give lushness and depth, while the addition of mediums helps to create the textures that emerge in the final image. I work pushing and pulling shapes, surfaces, and colors, until I am excited with the uniqueness of each piece. Yellow Door was inspired by the many homes we passed on the waterway while my husband, cocker spaniel and I cruised the great American Loop through the Eastern United States and Canada.

Painting Tidal 40 x 40 in. The artwork *Tidal* draws its inspiration from the natural beauty of New England's seacoast, particularly the captivating interplay of land, water, and sky. As a colorist, I interpret this environment through bold, expressive use of color, conveying not just what I see, but the emotional resonance these landscapes evoke. The fluidity of the acrylic, oil pastel, and watercolor on unprimed canvas allows for spontaneous movement and layering, capturing the ebb and flow of tidal rhythms.

Sculpture Grasping for Air 18 x 24 x 2 in. I am attracted to both the flow of fabric and the elements of construction that transform an unstructured surface into a sculptured form that fits a human body. Seams, edgings, buttons, zippers and all the other ways that cloth becomes clothing find their way into my current body of work. Like an abstract painting, my work emerges from a process of deconstructing and then reassembling the fractured elements from my collection of discarded clothing. I hand stitch the garment fragments into a low relief sculpture, then solidify the surface by applying multiple layers of canvas priming gesso. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mixed Media Siren Song I 20 x 11 x 2 in. "Siren Song" is a mixed media painting that dives into the ocean's contrasting nature.

-
Painting Healthy Skeptic 18 x 18 x 1 in. When I start a new portrait, I work to establish a faithful depiction of my subject first, through careful sketching and underpainting, paying close attention to the underlying bone structure, musculature and proportion. Then, with my choices of color, texture, brushwork, and some intuition, I try to go beyond, to capture a sense of the subject’s inner self as well. A finished painting conveys a likeness, but hopefully also a presence; when you look at it, you might feel it is looking back at you.

Painting Still Life with a Chocolate Bar 16 x 20 x 1 in.

Morning Stretch 18 x 12 x in. I’m in love with the line. The language of line, delivered with a crashing landing on a page or the gentlest calligraphic curve, or a collection of marks, exudes a power and a sense of storytelling that is beautiful to me. It transcends the verbal communication. Drawing the human figure in line, connects me to my models and the stories that they tell through their poses. It is a collaboration- the model, the artist, the line. Line educates me, supports me, and excites me. It is the vehicle that tells my stories.

Painting 32 x 25 in. Usually, one idea follows another. I have several themes that I go between, but I find, each seems to dovetail into the other to eventually build a cohesive collection. This is not planned, and I speak retrospectively. Also, the palette seems to be consistent. Maybe this is true as a result of years of work. Nonetheless, there seems to be so much more to do and so many ideas not yet realized. I suppose it's never ending. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mixed Media Painting 16 x 16 x 1 in. Figures and vessels have similarities and intuitively tend to appear abstractly and subtly in sketches and paintings. The basis of "Then There Were Five" is a mix of intuitive movement countered with the mindful placement of marks and shapes.

Works on Paper 20 x 16 x .50 in. My art is inspired by the 19th-century Fontainebleau painters and their up-close sous-bois perspective. I focus on the intricate details of natural textures, colors, and diverse life in the undergrowth of Florida's native trees. My contemporary up-close viewpoint is rooted in exploring light and shadow within monotype prints, plaster sculptures, and paintings. Layers of additive and reductive color are carved with mark-making tools to create textures that vibrate between contemporary, impressionism, and abstractionism, forming an interdependent relationship with the past and present.

Digital Photograph 13 x 20 in. As I walked in the fog, this lonely and worn building emerged from the misty greenery. I took out my camera and telephoto lens and captured the solitude of this shed. I wondered about its history and the stories it could tell. The architecture, though simple, had a charm and elegance in its design. The builder had a sense of detail, proportion and functionality. The structure was modest but orderly, with a clear path leading to the door. Would you like to enter?

Mixed Media Painting 20 x 20 x 1.5 in. This painting is part of the "Universal Us" series based on the notion that science and reason reveal that we are truly one with the universe.

In this painting, a Gong Fu figure formed by genetic coding, a tree like plant, and a landscape from another world, are separately and jointly ruled over by a symbolic law of gravity.

Works on Paper 36 x 36 in. This piece, Windblown, is part of a series called Transitions. When I started this series I was touched by the lament of “women of a certain age”, feeling that they were invisible, overlooked, and insignificant. This series is my attempt to visually capture this time in a woman’s life as an ending as well as a new beginning as the sunflower emits its seeds and begins again. The subject of this work is an aged, dried sunflower. I used Chinese ink to explore the transient nature of life and the strength of that transience. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Painting 14 x 11 in. This piece was inspired by a visit to the American College of Building Arts in Charleston, South Carolina..

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
-
Works on Paper 24 x 18 in. Since the pandemic, I have been incorporating masks and braille in monotypes to explore how we hide or reveal ourselves. This series, “Who Sees?”, explores the use of veils, masks, head coverings, face coverings in different cultures. How do we perceive women when they are veiled or masked? Are they disempowered or empowered? Do the masks/veils offer freedom or protection or bondage? The images that I create are multilayered, pushing us to delve deeper into this subject. “Who Sees” simultaneously draws you in and pushes you away.

Photography 7 x 5 in. w/frame 12 x 10 in. As a photographer, spending time in nature’s wildlife habitats can result in either missed opportunities or getting a perfect image. The morning I visited Donnelly Wildlife Preserve, I hoped to photograph marsh birds along the water’s edge. As I drove along a dyke, I saw a unique shaped branch shooting out of the pond that would make a good landing spot for avian subjects. I set-up my tripod and camera, with 500mm lens, to aim just at the top of the branch. Then I chose my camera settings so I would be ready to snap a photo if a bird landed there. I was ecstatic when, about 30 minutes later, a Belted Kingfisher perched on the branch. I often hear Kingfishers when out near marshes, but is difficult to see them; and photographing one is even more so. Capturing this photo made my day.

Archival watercolor pigments on 300lb Arches paper 6 x 3 in. w/frame 10 x 8 in. I often have little thought of what I am painting until the first few marks appear on the paper.

Oil on canvas 10 x 10 in. w/frame 10.5 x 10.5 in. I have long been fascinated with painting water in all it’s variations. I love the power and incredible colors present in the churning ocean as well as the quieter moods of a calm pond or the rushing of a stream over rocks. Recently, I got a dog who loves the water. I spend a lot of time with her and her dog friends at the beach or a pond. So it wasn’t much of a leap to want to try my hand at representing the joy of these ‘water dogs.” It’s a rich source of reference material watching these dogs being crazy, goofy and so very happy as they race play in the water or swim for balls and sticks. This painting is part of a series of dogs and water I am currently working on — the best of two things that I love!

Photograph on metal 12 x 12 in. I am fascinated by hummingbirds. They are so beautiful and are an amazing site to behold. To watch them take long drinks while dispensing the energy it takes to hover over their nourishment.is a wonder in itself. I had set up my camera, tripod and plenty of nectar, and photographed trying to capture their little bodies without blurring their beauty.

Fused Glass using different glass compounds 12 x 10 in. w/ frame 12 x 10.5 in. This body of glass artwork depicts my personal journey of exploration of kiln-forming glass techniques over the years and bringing to life other facets of my art into glass with my live model sketches. Over the years I have been studying different glass techniques, and at the same time sketching live models. My goal was to have the live models as glass art pieces. Learning enamel drawing and experimenting with powders to form different tones has enabled me to do just that. The pieces are layered glass with backgrounds using various glass powders and stenciling. This combination reflects drawing skills with kiln-forming glass.

Watercolor on rag paper 12 x 8.75 in. For me, inspiration comes from ideas about how the universe works. Nikola Tesla said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Combining preparation and planning with spontaneous, intuitive action I am on an experimental journey with watercolor to examine the natural world. My previous work was in oil, acrylic or pastel. Watercolor enables radiance with layers of transparency clearly showing the immediacy of the medium laid out over the underlying organized structure of the composition. The thought-provoking question of our reality is apparent in the ethereal nature of art where images vibrate with intensity of color and emotion and offer much more than the visual, something beyond the surface .

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.
