oil, charcoal, graphite on paper 26 x 21" For three years I have lived and worked in Dutchess County/Upstate New York. Here I cannot escape--the landscape. The natural environment of the Hudson Valley are triggers: rivers, ponds, mountains, trails, farmland, forests. I look for my own underlying order amid nature's chaos. Using drawing and mark making with charcoal and graphite and painting with layered oils, I generate an imagined reality. Draw/erase. Paint/scrape. Again. And again. A ghost remains. I work toward a bilateral glimpse of interconnectedness between what we can see and what we imagine we can see--a superficial and subterranean geography. The resulting blend of drawing and painting awakens the unknown and casts the familiar in new light.

Oil on Canvas 48 x 24 x 1.5"Life Memories of A Tree is inspired by a tree in my neighborhood. The concept of all livings creatures somehow communicate with each other, and with us.. We must not only see them but also hear them. They communicate with us with every fresh branch, broken timber, and every strings in their body to tell us stories of their lifetime.

Mixed media, painted cloth, found objects on wood 72 x 24 x 12"A nkisi is a container for spirits that was widely used by healers in the 19th and early part of the 20th century in the Congo area of Africa. Nkisi for Remembrance is a contemporary and vernacular interpretation of those ritualistic sculptures created by the healer of a village to protect clients who had been wronged. This nkisi draws from those African sculptures some of their aesthetic elements such as the use of reflective surfaces which reflect both the spirit world and the natural world.

Sudden Breeze Bronze Size of Piece: 21 x 7 x 9 As I walked to my studio, inspiration struck me. A sudden gust of wind swept through me, enveloping me in its embrace. I closed my eyes, tilted my head back, and allowed the wind to fill me up. It touched every part of me. Once I reached my studio, I began working to capture that moment and feeling in my sculpture. When I look at this piece, I can still feel that sense of being taken over by nature and embracing it fully. The sculpture is about letting go and embracing the unexpected moments in life that come our way. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

mixed media 9 x 9" If you see a woman walking and occasionally swooping down to pick up a shiny metal object, a sparkling gem, or an interesting piece of metal or plastic, it could be me. I am constantly searching for treasures on the street, at flea markets, in thrift stores, in discarded jewelry, in the trash room in my co-op, and anywhere I go. When I get home, I soak the day’s finds in detergent, rinse and dry them, then squirrel them away in clear plastic boxes and drawers, along with things I purchase, that fill my studio waiting to be turned into a collage, assemblage, or mixed media art piece. I get my inspiration from lots of sources, including museums and galleries, magazines and books, art classes, artists, and my imagination and dreams. I constantly teach myself new techniques, experiment with ways to work with different materials, and share ideas. Many of my pieces come about serendipitously, trying one thing and ending up with something unexpected and wonderful, which is what happened for the pieces I am submitting.

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.

Two Critical Questions Acrylic Size of Piece: 42 x 51 x 1.5 Hayoon Jay Lee is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the tension between indulgence and abnegation as it exists in terms of mind and body as well as on a socio-political level. Her work locates points of contact between Korean material tradition and Western avant-garde vocabulary by using rice shape and rice as an object, motif, commodity, and metaphor. As a building block of civilizations and a marker of wealth differences, rice allows Lee to conceptually play with points of conflict conceptually — oscillating between attraction and repulsion, between Orient and Occident— with the aim of ultimately encouraging reflection on the different ways our conditions and fates are interlinked. Renowned for integrating rice-inspired motifs and organic, visceral shapes in her paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, and videos, Lee’s work features figures embedded within rice forms. This highlights the deep connection between food and life. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Cold wax oil on Birch panel 14 x 11 x .875"“The absence that defined it became the presence that defined them.” (Everything is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer) I keep a copy of this quote on my studio wall because it tweaks my imagination. In the novel it refers to a shared hole between two bedrooms. The recent unforeseen pandemic years have done much to remind me of our uncertain human condition within the energetic flux of life. This painting is my abstract vision of passing through dynamic energy into an unknowable future.

encaustic 8 x 8 x 1"Everything around us was shades of blue and grey. We were sitting outside on the coast of Pico Island, in the Azores, listening to the waves break over volcanic rock. Not the nicest weather for a vacation with friends, but the Sangria we shared muted the chilly, damp weather. I love the contrast of the dark red and the orange against the stormy sky and sea. This piece takes into consideration, unpleasant weather, along with the concept of making the best of it.

Encaustic on board 5 x 7"The Oculus is located by the World Trade Center and operates as a transportation hub designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. While it is normally quite crowded I happened to be there when most people were wearing masks, avoiding crowds, and still social distancing. From the street level one enters to a platform two stories above, with a view of the entire concourse and soaring walls (if they can be called that), amid skylights to the ceiling. The building is stunning and the height and length of its interior, its depth, reduces those of us inside, to mere shadows of ourselves.

Encaustic on board 5 x 7"One rainy summer morning I drove my mother to a doctor’s appointment in Manhattan and waited in the car. Between the swishing wiper blades I began taking photographs of people out on the street, navigating the rain and the traffic. I often use toner transfers of photographs I’ve taken, in my encaustic work.This image appealed to me because although there is no real danger, the perception is that the traffic is just waiting to rush forward, while the woman is hurrying to get across the street, before that happens.

encaustic 7 x 5" One of the things I enjoy about traveling is finding new sources of inspiration for my artwork. It’s exciting to find subject matter completely different from my own New York environment. Years ago, while raising my daughters, I put painting on hold and turned to photography, developing and printing my own black and white photographs. I eventually returned to painting and today the darkroom is obsolete, but I have found a way to incorporate my love of photography with my love of painting. I utilize the photographic images to create encaustic pieces. The process involves turning a color photograph into a high resolution, black and white image. That image is then printed on white paper and burnished into the already painted, warm wax surface, on the encaustic board. The paper is then gently removed by wetting it, and rubbing it off, leaving the ink behind. After that process is finished I may add more paint to the surface. It is also possible to create more texture with the wax if that is what is needed. Encaustic, when polished, has a luminescence not seen in other mediums.

Looking Inward Encaustic Size: 5 x 7 Framed Size: 10 x 12 Whenever I venture into the city I am on the lookout for images that can be translated into encaustic pieces. There is much to chose from although one of my favorite subjects are the people of New York, going about their day. These pieces reflect a moment in time, specifically during the year 2024. Contemporary now, perhaps vintage in the future. Encaustic is a process in which you paint with melted wax, fusing each layer together. I often incorporate a toner transfer, developed from the photographs I’ve taken. Depending upon the technique used, multiple layers can add a depth to the overall piece. When the encaustic is polished it gives a luminescence not seen in other mediums. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

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. This piece blends abstraction with the organic forms of the seacoast, reflecting my deep connection to the region and its ever-changing nature.

Pastel 12.5 x 11.5" Painting is a much-needed creative outlet for me and I love to experiment with different techniques, pastels and surfaces. What drew me to the scene for “Reflections at the Pier” was the contrast between the red building and the cloudy sky. I was trying to capture the stillness and flat light of a cold day on the water and the texture of the wooden pier and posts.

Finding My Way Acrylic Size: 10 x 8 Framed Size: 14 x 11 One of a series of works inspired by maps. In this series, I explore how we read images and interpret them as a map of a place on land or sea, or even a celestial map. The works in this series all begin with a blurry, monotone, monoprint background. The "map" is then created upon that surface, with acrylic paint applied with brushes, pens and unconventional materials such as bits of torn cardboard or crumpled foil.

Acrylic on Canvas Sacre Sanguis Size: 36 x 12 x 0 Sacre Sanguis celebrates the unique feminine relationship to blood. In writing about the origins of life, Carl Sagan wrote “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our applies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.” The painting includes imagery of constellations and stars to reference that origin of all life on earth. Circles of tick marks suggest sunlight and the circle of life. Literal seeds –some dispersing--populate the canvas. Other dots and whorls reference the molecular basis for life. Lines of energy shoot across the canvas. And all float in the sea of sacred feminine blood, reminding us that women have significant literal, figurative, and spiritual power in the life of our entire planet.

Oil on Canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" I rely on the unconscious to paint meditations that are beyond my daily life, using paint to express what my language cannot. This painting reflects my sense of awe at the recognition that we are but tiny specks floating untethered enormous cosmos around us. I used an analogous color palette to create the misty, blurry sensations of my meditation on this vastness. These ideas are beyond my grasp and beyond my words. I recall Carl Sagan’s words that the Cosmos is “beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home."
