Photography 10.25 x 6.75 I have taken only one trip to Cuba, but I was immediately captivated by the diversity of the landscape, the light, and the interplay of colors, but especially by the soul of the people: their openness, their friendliness, their energy, their joy, and their vibrant street life. As a photographer whose primary interest has always been people, I was in the midst of a visual paradise.

Sculpture 7.5 x 3.2 x 14 in. Mano de la Vida - The Translucent Orange Alabaster stone had split at an angle, the bottom half of the stone resembled a hand and forearm. The beautiful texture, color variations and striations in the stone blended perfectly with the concept of a divine giver. The female figure held in the hand represents life, rebirth, and the transformation of oneself.

Acrylic 10 x 11 in. I see my work as an abstracted narrative. The figures seem to have something to say, or express; are often amid doing something and I feel the chatter in their heads. There’s a physicality in the work, the action of mind and body in the process. Showing what something feels like is what I hope to convey in paint. Puppeteer represents one from a series painted quickly and directly without prior drawing, leaving me open to being in response mode accessing motion and story without referencing much reality.

Mixed Media 15 x 15 in. This mixed media piece represents the struggle women have had trying to achieve their basic rights for centuries. The struggles that women of color have endured go back even further. The strings and ropes are representative of being tied and bound, as in being held back, but also of the binding and joining together as all women feel that common thread of sisterhood. The problems that entangle us still exist but by coming together as sisters we can fight for our basic rights and try to unravel the tangled threads.

Collage 8 x 10 in. The medium of collage is by nature graphic, textural, structural and filled with fields of color. Experimenting with a smaller format allows me to work out design and media details before going to larger works. Buildings and shadows and colors are rich and diverse in St. Augustine, FL . Walking the streets is a visual treat with buildings dating back to the early 1700s. It was a natural progression for me to produce works from photos I had taken while on a trip to St. Augustine.

Photography 11 x 8.5 in. Marilyn Saks-McMillion is a photographer based in her hometown of Washington, DC. Her retirement after long career in international affairs has allowed her to deepen her interest in photography. Her subjects include the day-to-day in her home, Capitol Hill neighborhood, the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. Her work is inspired by colors and a world of detail. Using her cellphone for her photos, she is best at capturing objects close at hand.

Photography 12 x 8 in. With this photograph, I'm celebrating the Unique. I've been always drawn to the out-of-the-ordinary. The Satsuma Mandarin is a great example of one of my unusual findings. Despite the flower-like qualities of the hand it simply serves as a pedestal to support the main subject. The fruit is the hero of this picture. It's a portrait of individuality.

Collage 15 x 11 in. I love collage. I collect paper, cut it up, and move the bits around until an image comes together. With no idea in mind, it’s just play & discovery, with a surprise reward at the end! “Girlfriends” reflects new techniques I was trying out: painting and printing on wallpaper scraps and deli paper, and, experimenting with “faux” encaustics: transferring an image onto matte Dura-lar Mylar and adhering it image side down, producing a translucent, beeswax effect. Using people as subject matter is also new. A friend had given me a packet of old photos, and immediately, they spoke to me.

Photography 15 x 15 in. I like to capture the fast-paced dynamics of street life. What is exciting and energizes me is how spontaneous the process is and unpredictable people are. Some, as the ‘Street Sweeper’, are completely unaware of being photographed. I sometimes stop and ask someone if I could photograph them. I generally like to photograph on sunny days, which gives increased contrast in light and shadows. Places with interesting forms, light, and street geometry provide a good background and foreground to the people I choose to photograph. The selected photograph, ‘Street Sweeper’ was taken in 2018, on a trip to Mexico. I felt the color and geometry of the buildings provided a great background to this working man.

Photography 10 x 8 in. The photo of this workshop captured my eye because it looks like the technicians and workers had just stepped away from their workbenches a moment ago. Perhaps they are on a break and would soon return to their stations. Though there are no people in the image, I could just imagine them toiling away at the projects on which they were working.

Mixed Media 12 x 12 in. "Am I Allowed to Ask" is one of a series of four paintings. The series is driven by my reaction to current political movements that are attempting to legislate decisions that are deeply personal and profoundly significant to women and their health and well-being —decisions that rightfully belong with the individual, their healthcare provider, and their immediate family.

Photography 12 x 12 in. Love Joy Art! Dave Lovejoy’s studio says it all. He loves the ‘patina of use’ of LA in the 30s & 40s. His office in a 1905 abandoned bank building has gold lettering that could be leftover by a Sam Spade of art. Eclectic spheres & globes, 18 paintbrushes arrayed, vintage molding meandering, an assemblage of 88 magnifying glasses is a living chandelier. The studio flows into the Last Bookstore (in the same antique building), a magical labyrinth of melting bookcases & flying books in Downtown LA for visiting booklovers. Imagination & inspiration. A ‘thingmaker’ meets me, a photographmaker. Voila!

Tempera 12 x 9 in. Marny Lawton is an award-winning artist based in Connecticut. The focus of her work is contemporary realism with abstractions found in her realistic subjects. She explores themes of foods and landscapes as they are in a state of flux with climate change, and still life to find the meditative beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary in the often overlooked.

Photography 5 x 7 in. In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in everyday life, the commonplace or ordinary scenes in the natural 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. 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. I printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, mystical effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes.

Oil 10 x 10 in. Autumn Lilies was painted during the Steamboat Art Museum Plein Air in the Yampa River Botanical Gardens in Steamboat Springs, Colorado on a chilly September morning. I had just completed a large 18” x 24” plein air painting of the lily pond and had lots of paint still on my palette. 3 hours spent analyzing the scene had burned the image of the lilies into my visual memory and I used a palette knife and the remains of the paint to express the brilliance of the aspen reflecting in the water and the gestural angles and colors of the lilies.

Archival watercolor pigments on archival watercolor paper 6.25 x 4 in. Descending Darkness is a small watercolor created right after Russia invaded Ukraine. It was and is my reaction to this tragic and unnecessary situation for the people of Ukraine and consequently the stability of the entire world. Most of the time my work does not reflect world events, but this war was started for invented reasons, which really evoked a physical response in me that worked its way into my painting.

Acrylic 12 x 12 in. “Somewhere” was painted in my intuitive and expressive painting style. It is an exploration in color, texture, layering and abstract mark making. The painting is on a 12x12” wood panel, framed in a white frame. My goal is to help you see as much beauty in the world as I do, so everyone who comes in contact with my art feels just a little bit more alive - whether that's because of the vibrant, saturated colors, expressive movement, or because you can feel the emotion and energy embedded in my art.

Mixed Media 12 x 12 in. The woodblock print Just off of Salem Street was inspired by a walk on a fall day at the North End. I love to walk around, gazing at buildings from different angles, and noticing their shapes and textures. On this cloudless afternoon, I photographed Boston’s architectural homes. The apartment buildings were detailed, climbing with long vines and beautiful windows. When I returned to the studio, I sketched, the inspiration falling from my mind to the paper. I transferred the sketch to a woodblock and began to carve the wood. Once the carving was completed, I inked the woodblock and ran it through the press repeatedly until the artwork was finished.

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.

Colored pencil 11 x 14 in. I have always been fascinated with texture. What a pleasurable challenge to create impressions of the different types of leather: rough, smooth and in-between… all while playing with light! The small bag was made by a good friend; the tiny strap-pouch and leather jerkin were made by my husband. Both men were superb craftsmen, and I wanted to replicate their fine work in this piece. It’s a way of showing just what is possible with pencil.

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.

Assemblage 5 x 6 in. Several years ago I began taking apart computers and other electronics, using the materials to build models and wall hangings. I enjoy taking them apart as much as putting the pieces together into something else entirely. I begin by building a structure from motherboards and other large objects from the electronics. I then enhance them with bits and pieces of old jewelry, metal and plastic, and other precious “junk”. The result, I hope, is a piece that stimulates the imagination and takes viewers somewhere new and wonderful.

Digital 12 x 15 in. In my freehand, digital painting, Home Sweet Home, we see a young woman living in her car with all her worldly possessions. Her left eye is heavily bruised and almost swollen shut. Whether this is from an accident or someone hitting her is unknown. Homelessness is a pressing problem in America. Homeless women are particularly vulnerable. It is estimated that a large percentage of families are only one missed paycheck from becoming homeless. People living in their cars are one of the fastest growing homeless populations.

Oil 14 x 11 in. The series that includes “Perfect Light” examines the nature of adolescence as a transitional state, delving into the often mysterious spaces within relationships. These are not simply figure paintings. While the paint surface is luminous and detailed, opacity also comes into play. What is more opaque than adolescence? We look deeply into these images full of secrecy, vulnerability and defiance, see their awkwardness - and revisit our own memories filtered through the lens of adolescence.

acrylic 26 x 20 x 1.5" Three Sheets is an expression of how one hides behind a thin veil of imagined reality. It explores the impermanence of masking one's life artificially with intoxication. It has been said that an overstimulated being is Three Sheets to the wind, in essence, out of control. There are many ways one can be intoxicated. It could be love, emotional distress, fatigue, or just inebriation from consumption. As they say, what's your poison?

acrylic 18 x 24 x 1.75" Convergence is the culmination of many hours of blending directly on the canvas. My process begins by selecting a color scheme and limiting myself to using only those colors plus neutrals. I work intuitively, applying paint then stepping back to analyze until I see no further changes to be made. The complementary colors in Convergence seemed to flow in a pattern which reminded me of rivers merging together in a confluence.

fiberglass, varnish, pigments 36 x 84" Environmental awareness and protecting our natural resources are crucial if we are to survive. As a culture we are too busy to notice the delicacy of this complete system of life. Through my work as an artist, I see the opportunities to highlight these subtle spaces that balance and support our natural environment. It is crucial that we attend to the beauty, tranquility, and serenity in order to return to the center of balance. When we take care of our planet we impact ourselves positively.

original collage (Primal Parts) printed on canvas with acrylic paint and marker, modeling paste, coarse pumice gel, glass bead gel diptych - each canvas is 48 x 40 x 1.5" Primal Parts II is a canvas print of my collage Primal Parts inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo. I used strong colors, female figues and elements of nature to denote women's strengths. Primal Parts II is texturized and accented with acrylic paint and markers as well as various mediums to create texture on the piece. The piece evolved into a diptych due to a printing error which created a reverse image.. The diptych further strengthens the piece.

oil 22 x 30 x 1" A friend was travelling in Iceland and took a photo of this dawn, while taking a trip to see the waterfalls at Selfoss and Dettifoss. I named it for the falls that sound more like 'Self Loss' because the absorption into this sky is a way to lose yourself. The following words were written for and are painted into it: The Road to Selfoss, the dawn to openness, the sky to everything.

mixed media/sculpture 13 x 15.5 x 7.75" "The Sheilas" is a kinetic piece with original printmaking, self-portrait, found objects, and mirror (yes, one needs a little smoke or mirrors to do this work of spying and deception). The invisible women who helped spy during wartime and the Cold War could go unnoticed because who would look at a woman past her "prime"?! Lift the latch attached to the little red book at the top of the cabinet and reveal the "Universal Aunts" who can "Solve Your Problems", In doing so, that motion lifts an envelope that hides the younger distracting woman in the black and white photo and reveals the faces of the older women who are doing the important work of saving the free world.

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.

acrylic & pastel on wood 48 x 48 x 2" In summer 2022, I was invited to my neighbor’s house at midnight to watch the blooming of their Queen of the Night flower (also known the Dutchman’s pipe cactus). It blooms only once a year in the darkness of the night and withers in the morning. It was such a profound lesson to me that nature allows such magnificence to occur in darkness. Applying this lesson to my own life, I was encouraged in my personal health challenges. Even in the hardships and darkness, I should continue fighting because beauty flourishes even in the most adverse of circumstances.

diptyque acrylic painting on canvas with 3D elements 24 x 40 x 2" My mixed media work is about the memory and feeling of joy. During recent health challenges (a mastectomy, chemo and radiation), I waited for 33 days for my oncology radiation treatments in a beige space without windows or artwork. After recovering, I received some paintings from a show in Connecticut. I offered to hang my pieces in the radiation oncology space. Most of my work is large and tropical in theme (we lived in Hawaii for many years), but it also includes pieces inspired from our world travels. I have received many letters, emails and comments from patients and staff alike as to how much better they feel in the space. It is a testament to the power of art and of giving back.

painting 24 x 36 x 2" My painting "Kindred Spirits" bridges the gap between animals and humans. In my painting, Mwenda, a keeper in Kenya, says good-bye to his magnificent friend, Sudan, the last Northern White male Rhino. They are kindred spirits who blend together, just like their colors blend. Their curved forms are shared, heavy with a shared grief and unspoken love and respect. Together they form "Kindred Spirits" teaching Humanity lessons of extinction and lessons of Love with Sudan's last breath.

mixed media on Arches paper 30 x 22" Every Tuesday I spend time with a friend with Vascular Dementia. Just before her diagnosis she asked me to teach her to draw. Immediately, in spite of no experience at all, it was clear that she had outstanding talent. Her illness has robbed her of this gift and the opportunity of certain NAWA membership. How she would have loved this sisterhood and its sharing of ideas, joy, respect, and strength. This piece shows her feeling of disappearing, but mostly it is about our shared sorrow.

mixed media including thread, various papers, linen, gold leaf, paint, pencils & pens 56 x 48" Petroglyphs, architecture, graffiti, scrolls, codices – examples of our collective human urge to leave an imprint, tell a story, mark our time. These relics are a historical record with a tenacious existence. Think the caves of Lascaux, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the tagged surfaces of train cars. My work speaks to this human urge for mark leaving, referring to an enduring historical record while simultaneously becoming a part of it. Drawing on ideas of the intersection between written language and spirituality, this piece is constructed, deconstructed and reassembled into an intimate and ephemeral account of our shared history, our difficult present and our uncertain future.

collage; newsprint, dyed papers, recycled plastics and sashiko stitching with a vintage wood clotheshanger 36 x 17 x 3" "OMG” is a part of a series called "Woman is Boss", that makes art from the past, present. Japanese women from vintage newspapers and a 1937 travel book are shown in more submissive roles compared to women as they are viewed now. The name is derived from the facial expression of the large standing female figure on the left side viewing the female images around her. Inspiration came from repurposing a plastic commercial swimsuit hanger. This series of artworks utilizes recycled plastics, dyed papers as well as ancient newspapers, antique buttons and Sashiko stitching to create art using the female torso hanger shape.

acrylic, airbrush, alcohol ink, oil pastel 40 x 48 x 1.5" Our world sometimes seems to be buffeted by forces beyond our grasp or comprehension. This diptych is informed by the "weather" of culture, politics, religion, differing ideologies. Much like a meteorologist might follow radar maps to stay informed on what's coming, sometimes the "weather" can still take us by surprise. Will it be sunny and predictable?
