Conversation watercolor 30 x 22 framed size: 38.5 x 31 "Conversation" came to me as we were experiencing the pandemic. People were isolated and, in many cases, not able to speak to each other in person. As I painted, the skirt felt like a flag unfurling to encompass a dialogue among many people. I began to think about the wider meaning of this image as it related to a founding principle of this country. This great experiment called the United States of America was born of immigrants escaping a monarchy to live in freedom. Women of every color and creed--an underserved, underestimated, and overlooked population--constituted the spine of our nation, working tirelessly to shore up their families. They developed their own networks of communication, which eventually became systematized and even voted into law. The woman depicted here contains multitudes--depicted in her skirt, under the "flag" of protected speech.

Her acrylic on canvas, graphite, papers, inks 32 x 24 During the controversy in the country about pronouns I was inspired to create this piece. I wanted to show the strength of the figure and how she is etched in time. I titled it "HER".

The Weight of Liberty oil 36 x 24 framed size: 37 x 28 A figure shaped by the long passage of American history and by the demands placed upon the ideals she represents. Since her arrival in the late nineteenth century, Liberty has stood at the nation’s threshold as a presence associated with aspiration, refuge, and civic promise. Across generations, her form has absorbed movement, conflict, and change, gathering responsibility and endurance into a single enduring figure. Conceived as a woman, her image has carried layered meaning through time, shaped by use, expectation, and memory. In this work, Liberty bears visible signs of passage. Her surface appears worn and fractured, marked by strain and accumulation. The lowered head conveys gravity and inward attention, a posture shaped through duration and responsibility. The flame is held downward and close to the body, suggesting care, protection, and sustained watchfulness. The figure stands upright, grounded in weight and continuity, carrying history forward through presence and bearing. The work considers the persistent role of women in sustaining shared ideals through responsibility, labor, and continuity across generations. Liberty appears as an active presence shaped by those who uphold her, carrying a charge that remains ongoing and entrusted forward.
