Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.Figurative drawings have the potential to convey deep emotions and tell compelling stories. Whether it's capturing the human form in a raw and emotive way or exploring complex themes through subtle details, As I revisit the portrait genre repeatedly throughout my artistic career, I document the changes and growth within myself—both as an individual and as an artist, and my subject. Each portrait becomes a reflection of a state of mind, an experience, and emotions at a particular moment in time. Whether rendered in graphite, charcoal, or vibrant colors, these portraits can serve as visual diaries chronicling the passage of time and the complexities of the human condition.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I sometimes consider human constructed space and the natural world in my art. In our daily routines we often peer out of one space to glimpse the other. Here, I investigate the "nature deficit" caused by our highly managed world and its cure. The natural world encourages us to explore and dream; to re-engage with the essence of life and beauty, bringing about peace. All materials in this artwork come from nature, but nothing is in its naturally found form. The prefabricated metal structure points to industrial constructs, protrudes into the viewer’s space, and surrounds the implied interior space of the paintings which asks the viewer to step inside.sculpture 17.25 x 12 x 7.5"

It's the process and the immediate nature of my painting that is satisfying. I painted "After Dark' from my memory of the field near home. I'm happy to have my landscape painting in the 135th NAWA exhibition to highlight the contemporary landscape genre. Partly, because, my inspiration comes from nature and my predecessors, Nell Blaine, Rosa Bonheur, Joan Mitchell, women landscape painters overlooked for their contribution. “- Lully Schwartz 2024oil on linen 30 x 30 x 1.5"

Inspired by the holistic concepts of space and time in the spiritual worlds of Indigenous and Eastern cultures, where empty space is significant and represents the potential for new ideas and possibilities, this work uses “empty” space and a cyclic array of forms and colors to create an nth dimensional world with spatial and temporal transformations that manifest various perceptual dichotomies.digital, limited edition archival print (2/50) 16 x 18 x 1"

Using bold colors and sculptural layers, my painting process is a developing tale and conversation between my materials and myself. To me this painting reflects an evolving universe where communication is less concrete. The narrative I’m creating becomes secondary to the narrative a viewer creates for themself. I’m interested in evoking memories and creating a history on my canvas, my own and yours, using rhythmic color, layers, shapes, marks and lines.oil paint on canvas 30 x 24 x 1.5"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.There is something beautiful about the pure movement of tones between black and white in a photograph that can evoke in the viewer an emotive sensation. I deconstruct and reassemble photographic prints with other materials to allow for new imagery to develop, and I am passionate about the subjects that I work with. Subjects range from photographs of noted artists and writers, found album photos, and family portraits. Ambiguity and familial bond make the work all the more intriguing to me. From a single photograph, multiple images can emerge to portray strength, fragility, beauty, demise and love in a single moment.photo on transparency construction with lace paper and fabric remnants 18 x 15 x 0.5"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.This painting is inspired by remembered tulips whose magic and beauty in their fullness of bloom touched me emotionally. This painting, as with much of my work, evolved over time through my passionate interest in investigating and exploring the tools of painting, including color and textures and also line, shape patterns and layering -in service of expressing the magic and joy of nature's creations. I seek to create paintings which create magic and have an emotional resonance. I want my paintings to invite the viewer to enter, wander around, and also be rewarded for prolonged looking by making continual new discoveries such as finding a color, texture, or shape not immediately noticed.acrylic, permanent inks, white tissue paper on canvas 27.5 x 21.5"

They had the strength and courage to leave their familiar home towns in the hope of a better life for their children. Often their own lives were made even more difficult by this choice, but the lives of their children and grandchildren benefited from their sacrifices. The hand-sewn fabric is a tactile reference to the generations of anonymous, poorly-paid immigrant women who labored in New York City’s Garment District.cotton threads stitched on linen blend fabric, polyester batting, ink, needles, pins, and images of historic immigration ephemera printed on cloth

They speak to me each fall which is why the title The Chatter of Leaves popped into my head and was chosen.watercolor

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.18 x 14 x 1" I was inspired by a traditional Irish session at the famous Cobblestone pub in Dublin, Ireland. As an irish fiddler myself, I often attend these sessions. I love how music brings people and friends together. I enjoyed getting to know the wonderful musicians and the gentle guide dog that afternoon, and decided to capture the essence of the scene by painting this pastel piece. I have a unique approach to colors. My work depicts the subtle lights, reflections and hidden hues on the subjects. My goal as an artist is always to share the joy of art with my audience.

I was 8 years old when I was sexually assaulted by a stranger in a movie theater. There was no one to talk to about this. I kept it to myself.

The Forest Inscapes came about accidentally, as I was experimenting with dripping paint on wood panels. I had used dripping extensively in my large Erosion paintings, in which the drips formed veils of color. In a smaller format, the columns of paint looked like trees. Thus were born the Forest Inscapes, which have evolved to reflect the seasons in the forest around my studio. Forest Inscape #28 is an interpretation of the glittering effect of early evening light seen through the screen of forest foliage.

Magic Tree was initially a plein-air painting inspired by morning sunlight passing through an ornamental tree. It was developed further in the studio, but the sensation of the intense, low light and delicate bone structure of the tree was the feeling I hoped to convey. Using oil paint on a metal substrate allows reflectiveness at different angles when viewing the painting. This is a work that is all about light.

This collage was inspired by a hike through the gorgeous landscape of Mt. Rainier, WA. I paint ordinary bags with acrylic, tear them into myriad pieces, which I then hand apply with matte medium to realize my vision. Inspired by nature’s beauty, my interest in this medium relates to the cycle of life and nature. The bags start out as trees, are made into paper bags, which I recycle, paint, tear, and collage into the image of the natural world which provided the original inspiration and energy.

In my work, I have at times carved female figures in place of traditional male figures, sometimes with animal attributes, like horns. Nyami Nyami shows here the face of a woman, with a snake tightly wrapped around her body. She bears the name of an African river god portrayed traditionally as a snake. The construction of the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River in the 1950’s caused the forced resettlement of an entire population under the British rule. Today, this piece is a call for environmental protection. It is meant to bring attention to the many indigenous sites that are threatened by pipelines, mining and human greed throughout the world.

Babylon is located between the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers in present-day Iraq. Excavations have been described as the surgical aspect of archaeology: it is surgery of the buried landscape. Aerial views of digs (before drone photography) were typically line drawings of the site. This monotype transforms a sketch into a colorful representation of the excavation of Babylon. It was created by inking handmade paper plates and running the print through an etching press. Stencils define the rivers and create the rhythm of the landscape. Several passes through the press are made to achieve the final image. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.22 x 30"monotype with stenciling

Recycled is an abstract expression—a personal, yet universal language—which combines concept with experience. It is many things at once. Technically: It is a mixed-media painting, a “combine” of painting with sculpture together with a collage of found, repurposed and recycled objects. Conceptually: It’s a puzzle, a design, a color way, a magical mystery to explore and decode thoughts and ideas about “recycling”. Physically: It is constructed from acrylic paint, watercolor crayon, archived with newly-created palette skins and found objects. All of these elements take direction from the Muses of the Imagination. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.13.25 x 13.25 x 3"mixed media

This piece belongs to a body of work in which I reimagined found twigs as trees with small local birds in their branches, but the piece of dried vine that became the body and legs for this piece was so clearly destined to be part of a complete, though abstract, human body that I was happy to make an exception to the tree limitation.

Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who was born in Yamaguchi, Japan. When she was two years old, she was at home about one mile away from ground zero, when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Sadako was blown out of the window and her mother ran outside to find her, suspecting she may be dead, but instead found her two-year-old daughter alive with no apparent injuries. While they were fleeing the atomic blast, Sadako and her mother were caught in black rain. She survived for another ten years, becoming one of the most widely known "hibakusha" -- a Japanese term meaning "bomb-affected person" and later died of malignant lymph gland leukemia in 1955.

My artwork is a straightforward sharing of what I see in the world around me, whether it is my family and the traditions we share, or nature including rivers, lakes, rocks, and plants. Portrait work often captures a grandchild. Nature work is usually inspired by the lake area in northern Wisconsin where we have a family lake house, and by the gardens and trees of the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, or by public gardens I visit on trips. I want the viewer to see the beauty of those places, to smell the scent of flowers and hear the rush of a river depicted in my work. Wisteria and Hydrangea depicts plants at the Morton Arboretum.

Conjuration is the act of calling upon, invoking or summoning a spirit, ghosts, demons, gods or other supernatural beings by means of a magic ritual. The central figure is the powerful Conjuror. In the right hand the figure is holding a feather and in the left has captured one of the 7 sister stars of the Pleiades. The conjuror is surrounded by a golden halo and has a white eagle on the head. According to legends the feather will blow in the wind & carry prayers to the Creator evoking the spirits bringing rain & keeping harmful entities at bay. The white eagle connects to the spiritual side and is a sign of a spiritual teacher. I wanted this painting to be spiritually evocative.

I am inspired by undulating forces of nature: the formation of rocks eroded by wind and water and the shapes of organic forms. My sculpture addresses the interior and exterior of form by abstracting movement, force and tension. I explore the thought process revealing multilevel reflections of my inner self and collaborations between nature and culture. As an artist one of my communicative functions is to create awareness and reflect concerns for the natural world. Human intervention with nature has caused tension. I believe that with awareness, there is hope. Collaboration between nature and culture can effectively illuminate and channel proactive thoughts and change.

Experiencing the vast rural spaces of unexplored lands of the Burren, County Clare, Ireland, I climbed upon the rocky limestone land, formed of great slabs of rock that were once the sea bed of an ocean millions of years ago. Dotted throughout that rocky surface I found ancient Neolithic monuments like the Poulnabrone Dolmen, one of Ireland’s most iconic and oldest dated megalithic archeological monuments, a portal tomb consisting of two large vertical stones standing on either side of an entrance capped with a massive sloping capstone.

The composition for this painting was inspired by the view from my campsite at Buffalo Gap Campground, part of the Dakota Prairie National Grasslands, during a road trip in September 2020. The mood and quality of the sky and sunset, though, borrowed from every sacrifice I have made in life. Whether I realized it at the time or not, each of those sacrifices involved a kind of faith. Sometimes, often much later, that faith can seem so foolish -- if not designed to deceive. However, this painting does not connote anger at that cycle, but rather peace.

As the saying goes "when you know better, you do better", and I've applied that philosophy to my paintings, many of which I've repainted/reclaimed and turned into something completely different. I'm the only one who knows what the underpainting looked like--and most of that gets covered up (as in this painting Dressed Up) with a combination of acrylic paint and stenciling. I never know what the finished piece will look like, and that is what keeps the process exciting and interesting for me. There is always more than meets the eye!

Squaring the Circle- Structure is dancing with the intuitive, both are needed. The expression "squaring the circle" is sometimes used as a metaphor for trying to do the impossible. A women’s work is never done. Mindfulness is key. If you say that someone squares the circle, you mean that they bring together two things, which are normally thought to be so different that they cannot exist together. Mathematically, it has to do with irrational and rational numbers and mathematicians have been working on it since ancient Greece. A woman’s world today is complicated. The circle and spiral are in many ways more home than the square, but we live in a square world of houses and books and cities.

When photographing wildlife I look for motion and expression in my subjects. I often drive three hours or more to a wildlife area only to find the wildlife doesn’t cooperate! That was the case on the day I photographed this Great Blue Heron. The Heron personifies stoicism and resoluteness, as a gust of wind ruffles his feathers. His windswept feathers created the motion I needed to make the photo more engaging.
