oil on canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5" This is an abstract image of disjointed worlds and perhaps a left behind fragment in between universes. I've always been interested in astrophysics but with limited understanding, so I paint my ideas.

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.

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.

paper, wire mesh, aluminum wire 14 x 12 x 2" Within explores the push and pull into and out of restriction vs freedom. 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.

oil on board 14 x 11 x 2" Through my painting I've become attentive to the splendid drama of my everyday world. I've especially been inspired through my travels. This painting was inspired by a memory of a hot day in Tuscany. We sought shade to shelter against the afternoon sun.

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.

watercolor 23 x 19" Love the power of nature. Wanted to express the energy and the force of the falling water.

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.

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.
