  • Oil on Linen Girl: Fortuna Waits Size: 16 x 20 Framed Size: 21 x 25 I found an irresistible reference in the newspaper. It was a horror movie clip. Since I've always been terrified by horror movies I decided to take this on and see how much hesitancy I could create in the girl and in myself. It was a push/pull to the end.

  • Taken Raspberry Alabaster Size of Piece: 17 x 13 x 10 One night in April, 2014, 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Nigeria were kidnapped by a terrorist group called Boko Haram. This horrific news transfixed me and I made my sculpture, 'Taken', in response. I worked on the piece for months as their story remained alive for me, even as it faded in the news. In the time since, the 'Me Too' movement has publicized the global pervasiveness of sexual abuse, violence and repression. Artworks should hold the mirror, too.

  • watercolor on paper 8 x 8" My artwork is inspired by the life I see in things like stains and cracks on sidewalks, La Marchande d'oeufs is based on a crack from a sidewalk in my home city of Providence. Like all of my watercolors, this one is characterized style by minimal lines and childlike shading. My process is not defined by preconceived ideas on my part, but rather one in which I listen to the stains and the cracks that call out to me.

  • Akan Warrior I Inks, clay, wood, textile, yarns, found objects Size of Piece: 46 x 12 x 8 Akan Warrior is a sculptural embodiment of resilience, strength, and ancestral memory. Created with inks, clay, wood, textiles, yarns, and found objects, this piece emerges from a deep engagement with the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. Inspired by a visit to Cape Coast and Elmina Castles in Ghana, the work reflects the imprints of history—faces and figures abstracted in the dungeon walls, silent witnesses to untold suffering. This warrior figure stands as a guardian of remembrance, honoring those who endured displacement and oppression. The use of layered materials mirrors the complexity of identity, history, and survival. Textiles and yarns reference cultural traditions and continuity, while clay and wood evoke the raw elements of the land—earth and trees that bore witness to history. Through Akan Warrior, the past finds a voice, urging reflection on historical injustices and their ongoing impact on contemporary experiences.

  • Enchanted Colors #1 Acrylic on Canvas Size of Piece: 20 x 20 "Enchanted Colors," and “Dialogue With Colors-Across The Sphere” emerged from my fascination with the interplay of vibrant hues and organic forms. The inspiration came from moments of reflection on nature's subtle beauty and the emotional resonance colors evoke. My creative process involves layering paint, allowing the colors to blend, interact, and reveal unexpected patterns and textures. I let intuition guide the flow of each brushstroke, embracing spontaneity while balancing structure and abstraction. In this work, I sought to capture a sense of movement and wonder—a visual echo of fleeting memories and emotions. The vibrant pinks, blues, and greens reflect an internal dialogue of joy, introspection, and curiosity. Through this piece, I aim to invite viewers into a world of dynamic Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Heartfelt Remembrance #18 Mixed Media: Acrylics, inks, medium, collage, aquarelle, wire Size: 12 x 12 This series holds a special place in my heart. The year 2020 brought profound loss, touching lives directly and indirectly, leaving us with broken hearts. As we grieve and mend, we carry the memories of our loved ones, finding strength in the process of stitching together what remains. When I began this series, the compositions were infused with affirmations and quotes about loss—words that remind us how to carry on while holding those we've lost close to our hearts. These pieces speak to the unseen yet felt presence of our loved ones, always beside us, guiding and watching over us. In my own life, I’ve had moments where I narrowly escaped harm and felt the comforting, heavenly presence of my mother. These experiences inspired the affirmations embedded in this series. Each work in Heartful Remembrance incorporates two or more quotes, some hidden beneath layers of the composition, others faintly visible. Whether seen or unseen, I believe these words emanate an energy of love and hope, carrying blessings to those who connect with the work. In light of ongoing global challenges, I dedicate this series to honor those who have fought and continue to fight for their rights and freedoms. It is my hope that these pieces offer solace and inspiration to all who encounter them. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • drawing 9 x 12" The ink drawing of the Lumberville, PA Foot Bridge is a simplified, almost Zen like attempt to honor an early suspension cable bridge designed by John A. Roebling, the architect of the Brooklyn Bridge. Roebling was the inventor of the suspension cable and needed to test the cables to make sure they were strong enough to sustain a bridge.

  • watercolor & gouache 24 x 40 x 2" As winter fades and the season changes to spring in the tristate area of NJ, NY and PA the earth renews itself. It is like a resurrection of sorts that becomes apparent gradually. Spirits run high as the days get longer and the sun shines brighter. My work reflects the joy I feel during spring resurrection. My painting was created with watercolor and gouache on 140lb cold press paper and then mounted onto cradleboard with heavy gel medium. It is preserved with gallery series, Acid-free, UV protected, non-yellowing, matt spray varnish that also repels dirt and moisture.

  • Please don't hurt! Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 30 Framed Piece: 26 x 32 In this painting, I explore the profound vulnerability and strength of a mother shielding her child amidst the chaos of the war in Ukraine. The image of a civilian woman holding her daughter, pleading with the aggressor, is a universal story of love, fear, and resilience. My inspiration comes from stories of those caught in war zones—the civilians who do not choose violence but must endure its consequences. The mother in this painting represents countless women who, despite their terror, stand firm in their instinct to protect. In my creative process, I use heavy, dark colors in the background to symbolize destruction and turmoil. At the same time, the softer, more delicate details of the mother and child convey their fragility. The palette contrast represents the merging of fear, hope, and desperation. This piece depicts suffering and reflects humanity itself. It asks the viewer to step into this moment and question the forces that create such tragedies. Because behind every war, there are human lives. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • oil, resin, intestinal lining on wood panel 80 x 36 x 2" My paintings blend classical techniques with avant-garde mediums and invite us to transcend traditional art's boundaries, encouraging a dialogue between the known and the unknown. I extract flesh from shadow, unveiling the unseen and inviting viewers into a world where the mystical and modern coalesce. In my work, I compose a space for introspection, where viewers can embark on a personal journey to unearth the hidden truths within themselves and the universe they inhabit. Painting becomes a ritual, a conduit for channeling raw and arcane forces from the depths of my subconscious. The deliberate use of texture and pattern engages the senses, compelling viewers to see and feel the complex interplay of elements within my creations. It adds a unique and visceral dimension to my work. The goal is not to elicit a singular interpretation but to create a visual moment that urges reflection on the profound connection between humanity, the natural world, and the divine. My work is a journey into the realms of the soul, where the sacred and the mundane coexist, and the boundaries between life and death blur.

  • fresco (plaster); salvaged wood 22.5 x 24 x 2"
    My inspiration derives largely from nature. I’m constantly piecing things together, whether in the studio, in nature, or in an urban environment; picking things up and rearranging them. I’m fascinated with the juxtaposition of contrasting materials, colors and textures. In this work, the warm, rough texture of the salvaged wood plays off the cool surface of the plaster, creating a dialogue between these disparate elements.

  • fresco, salvaged wood on panel 30 x 24" I’m constantly “puzzling” pieces together, whether in the studio, in nature, or in an urban environment; repeatedly picking things up and rearranging them. I’m fascinated with the interplay of contrasting materials and, at times, the contrast within those very materials. In this work, there is a juxtaposition of warm and cool colors, as well as warm and cool materials. There is also a juxtaposition within the elements, with the warmer colors in the cool, smooth texture of the plaster, and the cooler color in the warm, rough texture of the wood. From these relationships, a dialogue is born. I think this dialogue is what enables a work to resonate as both simple and complex, simultaneously.

  • oil on canvas 54 x 48 x 1.25" Immersing myself in my painting process, leaving no room for thinking, I work spontaneously in an intuitive moment-to-moment way without knowing what the end result will be. Then comes a moment when the whole thing comes together and an inner voice shouts, "YES!". It is done. Stepping back and fully taking in what has emerged, my deep response suggests a title that is surprising, something I never would have "thought" of, yet feels so right. My title for this painting is a phrase that the Japanese Zen Master Dogen (1200-1253) uses as a metaphor in his "Mountains and Rivers Sutra" to refer to the whole network of interdependent origination in which we are all constantly coming and going. The whole universe is continually changing and we are one with this movement.

  • Chromogenic Silver Halide (Chemical Print)
    14 x 14"
    “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.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

    This piece belongs to a body of work in which I reimagined found twigs as trees with small local birds in their branches, but the piece of dried vine that became the body and legs for this piece was so clearly destined to be part of a complete, though abstract, human body that I was happy to make an exception to the tree limitation.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • graphite 30 x 46 x 1"
    Grounded in realism, the drawing navigates between reality and interpreted vision. Eliminating all references to color, the monochromatic palette enables exploration into a scene simply and directly and with a sense of abstracted reality. Manipulating dark and light through a myriad of tonal contrasts goes beyond representation to where, layer upon layer, delicate strokes and nuances convey an ethereal, serene image. The work is not necessarily a direct representation of a scene but is a practice of nurturing an appreciation of the incessant resilience of the flourishing and decaying of nature and the complexities of our relationship within those cycles.

My artworks are characterized by vibrant colors, a balance between light and darkness and neat brushstrokes.

I am influenced by the old masters like Thomas Gainsborough and his remarkably delicate feminine characters, and by surrealists like Frida Kahlo, and her expression of pain and passion. My main medium is oil on canvas. I am experimenting with watercolors and ink pen as well.

    20 x 32 x 2" The world of the people of the streets is stripped down to basic survival, but with a need of self worth, ownership. The grocery cart has become the symbol of that need to show ownership of something, anything. A metaphor for they themselves, cast offs, other peoples throw aways.  The carts, battered and bent, with the wonky wheels we hate to get when shopping, they live with it everyday, until the carts themselves are discarded and they become a part of the landscape, the urban landscape, lawn ornaments, trash piling up in vacant lots, bus stations and public parks. Seen and acknowledged by all that pass by, much more so than the people that once used them to transport their worlds.

  • Stone 22 x 12 x 8"
    I always had a love for creating sculptures out of alabaster stone. I worked with direct carving, finding inspiration in the coloration and the flow of the stone itself. My sculptures reveal the female form conveying a sense of movement with the subtle details of flowing fabric. My visions emerge from the stone as I delve deeper into its core and only truly know what will appear with the final polishing. I enjoy sharing my art and insist that people touch ans caress them as they learn what can be created from within a stone.

The Pascali Rose, an abstract of the rose of the same name, recalls the delicate turns of this flower's petals.

  • #1670 The Lotus Queen Lily Porcelain Size of Piece: 20 x 18 x 11 Garden flowers have been a running theme of my hand-formed porcelain sculptures for many years. I work toward realism or the abstract, depending on the flower. My inspiration comes on the walks I take in this seaside town with lush gardens. Porcelain allows me to bring my work petal- thin, and that encourages my hand to create energy in my pieces.

  • Ceramics
    8.5 x 6 x 4.5"
    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.  
  • 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.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Sculpture 14 x 9 x 7.5"

    All of my sculptural work is nature-themed with a focus on the sea and florals, both abstract and moving toward realism. My inspiration for this work came from my frequent visits to a beautiful spot of land—ocean on three sides-- with the same name, that juts into the open ocean. I submitted this because it is a special example of what I believe is the magic of working with porcelain—that I can bring it to wafer thin forms while turning, twisting and lifting it into organic shapes that recall the energy of the sea.

  • 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.

  • The Delight Project: No. 5 Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 20 x 16 My name is Anne Pollard James and I paint the spectacular strength of women. My current project, 'The Delight Project' examines many of the notions of the concept of how we 'brave the body’.  As women, we are always asked to cover up and camouflage our natural bodies. In fact, based on what we see on a screen, you would never know that skin has scars, pores and complex texture. That the body is as pragmatic as it is mysterious. The very things that make us strong and capable are the things that our cameras filter out. Like, the muscles and the fascia that mold fat into cellulite and keep our legs strong to carry us on our way. And how our faces line and fall with gravity and then peak to glorious smiles that light up everything. And how our bellies rise and fall, and are streaked with the pale-blue-peach hued marks that stretch to hold us. For this project, I offered an open invitation to participate in this series. And then, I simply met women where they are and captured small moments of joy and delight of self, to include in a series of painted images based on a photo that we worked together to create. Here are their stories.

  • Oil All My Favorite Colors Size: 50 x 26 x 3 My submissions represent the most current work I have completed. The figurative series was intended to encompass all things about creation. The cubist quality happened rather organically while I was troubleshooting creative ways to represent parts of a figure, and the pieces that make up a whole being. These are only two examples, while some of the works not pictured are more irregular and varied shapes, rather than the hard-edged linear shapes seen here. The pallet varies as well but overall the works are a neutral with vibrant undertones. The contour lines will appear and subtly disappear. I enjoyed the thinking process behind the pieces as much as the actual creation of them. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • mixed media painting using collaged hand painted papers 22 x 22 x 2" Excited by the way colorful shapes fit together, how a line on the surface can cause movement, the surprise of embedded bits of pattern -- my work is playful and energetic. I am almost completely concerned with how the elements of art come together to make a strong composition. Sometimes compared to aerial views, puzzle pieces locked together and urban grids, in my work, these are qualities sensed rather than seen. While the result is abstract, every piece begins with a reference – a concrete memory, sensation or even a photograph of a place I have traveled. For viewers, the experience is about creativity and curiosity, moving in close to see the layers, and asking themselves “what is this?” Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Feline Feminist Mixed Media Collage and Acrylic on Sintra panel Size of Piece: 24 x 18 Creating artwork can be a powerful and universal vehicle for human connection. For me, the challenge is to touch the timeless themes iterated in visual art, literature, drama and music throughout recorded history, while staying relevant and responsive to one’s own cultural place in the timeline. Since childhood to the present day, I have been a painter and visual artist. My images are primarily painted directly from life, with the subject typically casting a gaze back at the viewer. My paintings respond to themes “humanity”- my fellow women, forced migration, social justice, civil rights, natural and man-made calamities, as well as the respite of nature’s continuum. My process comes from my desire to bypass self-conscious inhibitions in the pursuit of self-expression. In 1990, I felt artistically "reborn" when I started painting with my non-dominant left hand and discovered renewed creative freedom. This, as well as using oversized brushes, gives me speed and fluidity, resulting in either as a fully representational finished painting, or the base on which to build a mixed media collage. Utilizing physical collage materials such as torn maps, shards of color, images from printed media, and my own repurposed drawing fragments as my palette, the works become emblematic statements of the over-stimulation and media bombardment of contemporary society, in concert with the directly observed presentation of a human subject.

Part of my "International Children Series", my photo captures an authentic moment in 2022 of two sisters in front of their living quarters in their Laotian village. There is an irony to their donated GAP clothing and Nike sandals, dirty and worn, in the materialistic standards and values of life in America. Looking further into this photograph, one can see a typical home in Laos, bringing to reality the life of these young girls.

A good spy is unremarkable looking, able to move freely and unnoticed, and in this case, thwarting Communism after WWII. There are cut away areas, windows to another layer, a suggestion that there is more to be revealed, and, that a house may seem simple on the surface, but hide secrets inside.

I have looked at nature and seen much symbolism and metaphor for what is happening in the world today. My artwork focuses on the chaos, mystery, and whimsey in nature. The whimsey is sometimes dark, sometimes not, but always points to the foibles of human nature. Nature is innately smarter than man. It has solved many problems we are grappling with. Perhaps what surrounds us is the secret to survival. Nature has the ability to evolve and adapt to change the environmental conditions. It has slowly adapted to climate change hastened by man, but will it continue to?

I believe travel to other countries, particularly third world countries opened my eyes to conditions in the world. It took a number of years for my art and activism to merge, but my observation of nature and the nature of the human condition remain. My artwork now has a focus on environmental and climate issues. The process has become a cathartic experience for me and hopefully gives the viewer a different perspective.

I have a deep connection to the natural world that I see through the eyes of an artist.  My paintings capture a moment or memory of wonder, joy, and beauty, something special that caught my eye.  Paintings are inspired by the diverse colors of light, atmosphere, and nature in the  coastal landscape where I live.  I look for what is unique to convey a sense of place. Although often evoked by a fleeting moment, I translate in paint to transcend time.  Brushstrokes over glimpses of color intentionally reveal some of the painting process.

  • oil on Arches oil paper, mounted on stretched canvas 30 x 22 x 1.25" My concept of the seams of a society, as on a garment, refers to being placed at the edge, marginalized, or disenfranchised, but this can also indicate conditions that hold a people together, that bind. Each of my “Seams” works takes the viewer on a cultural journey. I want you to meet a few of my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances in places I have had the great fortune to visit or to work. I am excited to show how culture and economics shape people’s lives. I hope you can imagine the lives of the people I try to portray. I want to challenge stereotypes in the figurative and cultural depiction of people. In my current series of paintings, I explore the lives of Africans in Karatu, Tanzania, a rural town where I have lived and worked over several summers as a physician. People who work in or are served by the hospital live with the lingering effects of colonialism. They grapple with political, educational, and economic conditions that make it difficult to advance. I have been painting with oil on paper that I mount on canvas. I utilize my own handmade stamps developed from traditional Tanzanian kitenge cloth to print the backgrounds.

In my current series of paintings, I explore the lives of Africans in Karatu, Tanzania, a rural town where I have lived and worked over several summers as a physician. People who work in or are served by the hospital live with the lingering effects of colonialism. They grapple with political, educational, and economic conditions that make it difficult to advance. I have been painting with oil on paper that I mount on canvas. I utilize my own handmade stamps developed from traditional Tanzanian kitenge cloth to print the backgrounds. My goal is to offer you a moment to slow your mind as you imagine the lives of others and explore with me the “Seams of Societies”.

  • Mixed Media 12 x 12 in. My art reflects and represents current events in performing arts and politics. People in the news inspire me, their movement, their expression, their passion for change. There is an emotional part of me in every painting. I am currently represented by Saphira & Ventura Gallery. Most recently, my painting "Doja Cat" was part of the Empower Her Art Forum, a multinational exhibition dedicated to raising women’s voices and the empowering ethos of art, at The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo, Egypt.

  • pastel 12 x 9" There are two ways I approach my paintings. With abstract paintings, I start with no plan. I start with mark making, texture and/or paints, inks, etc. and let my intuition guide me. I may use acrylic, oil, ink, watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, or all, along with many materials I’ve collected to add texture. I love this approach because it is so freeing. I love the play of bright colors against neutrals, dark against light, texture against smooth. I may end up with a painting I like or I may not. If not, I keep working and adding layers/scraping away until I do. Painting like this sometimes seems to be about solving problems, using my technical skills, letting my intuition guide me. With abstracts, I'm usually inspired by a strong emotion I'm feeling. The visual has more of an impact in expression than words do. The mind is too involved with words, but with visuals, so many senses and subconscious feelings come into play. I paint landscapes by planning a scene that captures; playing with different color schemes that best express what I see, doing sketches to determine the best layout and composition. The painting may or may not follow the course I planned. I get excited about the contrast between shadows and light coming from behind, or the surprising amount of color in an ocean wave, or the moodiness of a sky.

  • Acrylic 13 x 13" I seek to express the intangible experience of spirit. It is the awareness of the big picture. It is about the meaning of life and connection to self and others.  I am exploring and expressing an inner experience through abstract images. I paint images that feel solid and spacious which is how I feel when I am experiencing “presence”. I have always noticed the subtleties of life whether it was observing beauty in nature or man-made, overcoming difficult challenges, and the complexities of the human experience. I process these experiences through painting.

  • Acrylic on Canvas 2019 30 x 40 in    
  • I Wonder... Pastel Size: 9 x 9 - I’m primarily a portrait artist as I find nothing more visually compelling, more inspiring, than the human face and figure. Much of my work is done through Zoom, which gives me the opportunity to paint people who can be anywhere. My usual chosen medium is soft pastels. - I was excited to paint the renowned actor Alfre Woodard at a Zoom session hosted by an artist who knew her. Starting with a pastel pencil sketch, I then used a yellow pastel pencil to indicate every place the light touched Alfre’s face and hair. Knowing the location of the lightest spots remained important when applying multiple layers of pastel pencil and soft pastel. I loved painting her beautiful hair, using many layers of alternating warm and cool colors. - I Wonder… is a pastel portrait of a model I’ve painted many times – I hoped to capture her intriguing expression as she appeared to be deep in thought. I used a similar process for this as for the Woodard portrait: after the initial sketch and yellow highlights, I applied multiple layers of pastel pencil and soft pastel to build up the image and convey a mood of quietness. - The model for Graceful is a dancer whose quick poses demonstrate her love of dance. These two simple, timed ink and watercolor sketches express my delight in her lovely movement. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

    Our Forests Are Burning is a striking abstraction of the horrific forest fires that have burnt through Canada, California, and Maui. And, the smoke-filled haze that swept through the rest of the world.

  • acrylics on mixed media paper mounted to wooden cradle 7 x 7 1.25" Abstract art for me is a chance to invoke a wild, primal and unconventional style of expression full of color. I start each work with no real direction or plan and as the paint hits the canvas the story comes to life. Whether that story comes from a life experience or something affecting the world today, each work will become a window into a narrative once completed. My wish for whomever glances upon my art is to temporarily leave the conventional and glance into a gateway of a vibrant story.

  • acrylic paint, gold & copper leaves 24 x 24 x 1.5" Heavy Metal to me is a telling of who I used to be as an artist, and who I have become. Beginning over a decade ago with art deco and steampunk designs. Evolving now into my own personal style of maximalist abstract expressionist works. I used to be overly concerned about perfection, and fine lines, where now I can embrace an unfinished, rustic background. There is perfection in imperfection.

  • sculpture relief 26 x 15 x 6"
    “Bobbi, can you use this for your art?” asked Al when he finished installing the Lanai ceiling fan. Though the shipping container was all white, one cube contained a circle of radiating bars that could be painted to look like the underside of a manhole cover. I added a rim and painted the interior metallic copper. Cheesecloth was glued over the packing peanuts filling the empty cube. As I tamped in mud, roots and stones, I experienced the ecstasy of artistic creation, knowing that I had achieved the Inside-out Theme perfectly for the competition I wished to enter.

  • embroidery & felting 13 x 13 x 2"
    At this time in history, we are experiencing trials both in the courts and in other interpretations of the word: environmental stressors, active wars, and in our own reintegration to a post Covid society. Women are being denied necessary medical care, there is no uniformity from state to state, and people are scared of what the courts will rule for future laws.

  • fiber art 12 x 12" The muscle memory of sewing is guided by recollections, stringing the grit and tooth of an abduction, the furrows of seams and seeming, of life stories fought out, patched out before paint would dry, better rather knit, pounded out in coarse intermingling of fibers, torn out and restitched and needle felted, a forgiving medium where every loop can be redone and undone, tacked and basted anew. Each embroidery, created from an original figure drawing is transformed into needlepoint, a quilt of pores, threaded with twenty or more colors, bounded and knotted with each physical perforation, a performative puncture onto self-healing felt.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • embroidery and felting 13 x 10" This is one of a series called “Ariadne Slept Here” showing Ariadne in current locales, a spinner who can help us escape the modern Minotaurs. Bonnie MacAllister renders in figurative embroidery, handspun threads, globally sourced farm wools and fibers, and recycled textiles. The language of textiles is also that of connection, threading together identity, history, biology, and personal experience. My portraits on handmade felt are created from an original figure drawing, transformed into needlepoint, bounded and knotted with each physical perforation, a gesture of self-healing, promoting mindfulness.

  • Pastel 14 x 13 in. 'At the Met' is a representational depiction in pastel of a group of young adults taking a break from viewing the masterpieces surrounding them. I was particularly struck by the beauty of the far right girl's red hair and how it contrasted with the cool hues of her surroundings - in addition, the dynamics of the four youths resting on the bench seemed to encapsulate an iconic tourist experience AT the MET and motivated me to want to paint this scene.
