Those who were taken hostage, kidnapped or sold into slavery…. abused and the innocence of their youth is destroyed at the hands of their captors. They feel isolated and forgotten and... even if they want to cry out loud...they are too terrified to make a sound. I hear your cries in my mind... and I want the rest of the world to see it.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I lived in Philadelphia only briefly decades ago, but in recent years I have had more than a few occasions to visit, thanks to the generosity of a local friend. I have taken advantage of those visits to sketch, paint and photograph various sites around the city. My paintings of South 9nth Street, the Italian Market's main drag, are my most successful efforts to date to capture the essence of one of Philadelphia's neighborhoods. I like the area's historic status and distinct character: It looks impervious to the development that is so prevalent in much of the city these days. Although, there are indications that this neighborhood too will give way to new construction.acrylic on canvas 15 x 19 x 2"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.A country, locality, or situation in which cultural assimilation results in blending the heritage and traditions of previously distinct ethnic groups. Yes, America has been labeled a melting pot of society, we encompass all colors, religions, nationalities to become a cohesive society, but our history also speaks of something else. A time when not all people who came to this country were treated the same, when people were spit upon, enslaved, and treated as second class citizens. We have spent the past few hundred years trying to rectify that mistake. We falter, some never learn, and when you put people with so many different ideas, beliefs together there beg to be differences. Will we ever.bronze 4 x 14 x 17"

I worked for a long time on this painting. Each time I started painting it I felt like I entered some mysterious space, though I do not know the nature of this space, Marilyn turned herself, or maybe better to say, sacrificed herself, into some eternal porcelain which never faded or into a diamond which never stopped shining.oil on canvas 28 x 22 x 2"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.mixed media 20 x 16 x 2" My goal is to present a unique mixed media work. Materials are transformed to another level. There are areas of subtlety, sometimes subtle variations of a single hue. There are also passages of intricacy and/or simplicity within the work. There is a strong interplay of color, line, texture, and form.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil 20 x 20 x 2" From the Invisible Women Collection: Voyeur is small to replicate the sensation of peering into a closed space. Apprehensive, yet drawn to that upstairs window, we are unable to resist the temptation of looking inside, but feel guilty for invading someone’s privacy. The figure may have gone unnoticed. Returning outside, one might see that the odd sizing of the brick exterior is both curious and uncomfortable, dreamlike in the way it feels warped from sitting in the sun. This peculiar patterning draws us down to a solitary figure looking out a darkened window below, penned in, trapped, invisible.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.mixed media on Arches oil paper 13 x 13 x 1.25" I paint military spouses who live in West Point, NY- where the United States Military Academy is located. As a proud military spouse, I became interested in the cumulative effects of this lifestyle- exploring identity erasure, community, and impermanence. My work, "Sponors' Last Four," refers to the military's organization of spouses by the last four of the active duty member's social security- instead of their names. I also developed a process that was reflective of these experiences: the chaotic and relentless cycle of breaking down and starting over. I repeatedly disrupt, redraw, and rerender figures. I intend to not only express the challenges these women face but also their beauty.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil on canvas 6 x 10 x 2" My inspiration for this recent piece, is my continued love of the 'Casa Colonica' in Italy. These farmhouses represent a rural life of an epoch gone by, which I find fascinating. By painting their portrait so to speak, I feel I am giving them a renewed voice and acknowledgement. I feel a connection to these massive structures. This particular view in the dark of night has a comforting feeling yet a loneliness standing in the shadows with only a half light from the moon illuminating. The stone wall in the foreground creates a presence of its own, inviting the viewer to proceed forward or warning to stay and watch from afar. Moonlight Moon is the beginning of my 'Italian Night Series.'

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.ink on paper 15 x 18" The Flotsam series follows my long interest in shallow water system imagery across sculpture, painting, and drawing projects. In this work I allow each material to inform the evolution of image making. Started during a road trip in 2023 with a small kit, I began these drawings with layers of brushed-on ink that got worked over with marker which rendered a silvery, burnished surface. These quickly became a process that encouraged intuitive shape-making, and where chaos on the page came to order through a network of connections.

Using wire mesh, aluminum wire, and paper, I created a series of 'almost-but-not-quite-real' gateways and spaces that could be interpreted as constrained enclosures or places of safety and shelter. My choice of the wire mesh presents a dominant texture and pattern, begging the question: is it harsh or soothing? While I try to answer this, I also invite the viewer to wander into the space and solve the mystery for themselves.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil painting on linen 48 x 75 x 2" I am a visual storyteller, a painter of women, the sea, mysterious encounters and uncommon places. In all of my work, women are the dominant elements. My goal is not to idealize them in any way, but to portray each woman’s individuality, her power, her connection to other women and to the world. Birds, especially seabirds, have long been choreographed into my work, sometimes as companions, other times as avatars of change, growth, or escape. There is a dreamlike aspect to my paintings, a surreal confluence of elements that feels very real. In my larger work, my viewpoint is often just outside the picture plane – one more step and you feel as if you can enter the narrative of the painting.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.stone sculpture 12 x 4 x 6" My recent work had consisted of abstracts and birds. But I was hankering to create another female form. The alabaster stone presented a deeply erotic natural fissure and fold formation on one side that I was completely drawn to and committed to keeping. Just as quickly, I saw a female form erupting out of the rest of the stone. I was struck by the idea of ‘the wild in us all’ and that this piece would illustrate that notion.

The beauty of the female human figure never waivers. Using a figure drawing, drawn from life, an environment was created in the spirit of Matisse's odalisques. Her gaze is confident, yet sultry; exuding her confidence and power.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.photography 24 x 28.5" Shelburne Falls, MA is famous for it's "Bridge of Flowers". I spent a whole day taking photos up and down the bridge. I couldn't wait to see what photo would impress me the most when I got home. It was the Great White Trillium. A dramatic flower with wide petals and yellow stamen. It is majestic. I felt like Georgia O'Keef painting beautiful petals with streaming yellow centers splashing into one another. That's why I named this piece of artwork, My Cup Runneth Over.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.platinum/palladium photography 11 x 14" In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in the natural environment, providing moments of 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. This image was originally captured with infrared film; the negative was subsequently scanned and transformed into a digital negative. I then contact printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the image.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.watercolor, marker, ink, pencil 20 x 16 x 2" The art piece, Facade, represents either being unaware or hiding a situation, condition or ailment for a long time that either threatens to bring down or squelch its host. It insists on normalcy and coping/acting as if all is fine in the face of the biggest life challenges. It could be autism, eating disorders, a congenital ailment, effects of smoking, phobias, IBS and and even acting as you are someone that deep down you don't feel as if it's who you are. The effects are exhausting and dangerous.

Pictured are 2 figurines: an owl and a turtle. I painted many watercolor variations of these two.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil on Belgian linen 12 x 12" The apprehension of movement on abstract shapes figure predominantly in my paintings. Each individual shape is a particular motion enacted on a still substrate, in this case Belgian Linen. The stop action union of these two opposing elements, movement on stillness and the idea of their simultaneous interaction is my longtime pursuit. I wish to offer a near view of particular shapes, conversing together. I propose these conversations in a sculptural manner adding tensions of heightened light, texture and color. My pursuit concurs with my idea that motion itself as a part of life is a mysterious occurrence.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.oil 30 x 24 x 1.5" The world I encounter daily brings me in touch with the delights of colors and shapes. Rounded forms have, of late, stimulated participation in the circular movements of life – the coming round to something or spinning out of control. I bounce, roll, wobble, and delight in using color to enhance this movement and give the shapes a dynamic, often tactile, visual effect.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.As an artist and a parent of four young children, trying to navigate life and love within the contexts of the larger world can be complicated. This work emotes imagery of place and time with playful and controlled shapes and color, often feeling like organizing chaos. The work reveals personalities and emotions that have conversations about shape, space and color. The act of painting itself is a metaphor for what we reveal and conceal about ourselves, moving through space and time, collecting emotions and deciding what we put on the surface and what we hide. What we know, and what we need to learn.acrylic & mixed media on cradled wood panel 13.5 x 13.5"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.Andrea Sacker is a New York based painter working in oils, gouache and watercolor. I paint places, people and things that are dear to my heart, collecting and distilling the images mostly from my own photographs. I use my intuitive sense of color and composition to reflect my emotional relationship to the subject. I paint on linen, canvas and wood panels mostly within the satisfying limitations of a square. My paintings often reveal quiet moments that reflect my desire to counter the vicissitudes of the daily news and one's life experiences. I paint because I love the material and to express and uncover my relationship with the subject matter.oil on wood panel 13.25 x 13.25 x 1.75"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.As a fine artist: painter and sculptor. I use concepts of abstraction, cubism, and surrealism to explore the elusive qualities of time, energy, and storytelling. My influences come from everywhere, other art forms, such as jazz music, and the directness of child art. My artistic goal is to create seductive surfaces and provocative forms that involve the viewer in an emotional visual adventure, where they discover associations and meaning. I explore unique materials and techniques and invent images and narratives from my imagination .In this work I am responding to the tumultuous times in which we live. The layer of faces, sizes and positioning are a metaphor for relationships.acrylic paint on a natural gourd 11 x 9 x 9"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.For the last five years I have been painting a series of portraits of the LGBTQ+ community. My main goal when painting their portraits was to achieve a likeness, but also show who the sitters are as individuals. For that purpose I asked them to choose their own clothing and ideas for the background designs. This young man was wearing his red hat when I met him on the subway. He is an actor and singer, having finished 3 years of playing the genie in the Broadway production of Aladdin.oil on canvas 26 x 22 x 2"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.Inspired by art history's paintings of artists at their easels, I made this painting of the beginning of the process of awaiting an idea or inspiration for a painting. This part of the process is magical to me and perhaps the most difficult of going from idea to committing to creating a painting of that concept. For me the process begins by turning inward.oil on oil primed linen 29.75 x 26 x 1"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I like the ethereal quality of finding images and shapes within and behind other shapes. I find ways to find "safe passage" through the canvas, much as we all manuever through life and find our way. Life is like a puzzle and we all have to find a way to make all the pieces fit. Intuitively I convey feelings in a particular painting depending on my situation at the time..exploring the way shapes intersect in life and the way we someimes hide the obvious behind a mask. However I want the viewer to reach their own conclusions about what the symbolism may represent and decide what I may have been thinking.acrylic on canvas 36 x 24 x 1.5"
