Photography 12 x 12" The years before my Mother passed away, I flew cross country frequently to help with the numerous needs and to ease my mental health as she faded into the ether. I'd tuck into a window seat for the day-long journey. Flying gave me wings to get there, the speed to know I'd not miss another sacred moment and the strange euphoric freedom that being hurled 600+ miles an hour through the atmosphere creates within our nervous system. It was both exhilarating and horrifying...reminders “We are Travelers” on this big blue rock.

Works on Paper Life Force 22 x 29 x 1 in. My work from my teens to now is represented in transparent watercolor of nature or history. Living in California for 20 years, I took workshops in acrylic, collage, and monotype print making. From those experiences, my landscapes, abstracts, or non-representational paintings develop from how I view nature’s moods and organic forms. The current world events from COVID, changes in our climate, and challenges in our society inspired me to compose this piece, “Life Force”. The elements we possess are our best resources.

punch needle embroidery on weaver's cloth 30 x 24 x 2" Rejecting the insinuations often thrust upon the female form, this work presents a highly rigid and resolutely geometric portrait of a woman, without a stroke of curvature. It's depiction of a fractured facial profile calls out the notion of discomfort from unwanted attention and mis-placed celebration of beauty that women receive simply by just being out in the world. The Artist presents a reaction-driven portrayal of those exchanges, and simultaneously shows strength embodied in female agency. This work re-examines our perceptions on “social appropriateness”. The Artist's mission is to abstract identifiable features and remove individual characteristics to varying degrees, creating broadly familiar subjects that reflect femininity as part of the Whole rather than the Individual. The textures and micro-patterns in the thread-work accent the idea that there is no definable limit from where the fabric that we wear ends and our more personal and emotional inner weavings begin.

punch needle embroidery 30 x 24 x 1" In an effort to reject the insinuations often thrust upon the female form, this work presents a highly rigid and resolutely geometric portrait of a woman, without a stroke of curvature. This work's depiction of a fractured facial profile aims to highlight the oftentimes nonexistent boundary between one’s ability to feel beautiful and overt sexualization when externally perceived. By abstracting identifiable features and removing individual characteristics to varying degrees, this work re-examines our perceptions on “appropriateness”. My mission is to create broadly familiar subjects that reflect femininity as part of the Whole rather than the Individual.

colored pencil on paper 10.75 x 14.5 x 1" The original inspiration for Currents/Countercurrents was a view of wildly rushing waters flowing over a multitude of rocks in a pool of lake water. Each second I observed them, water would flood in anew to present more and more complex patterns. As I began to draw, vibrating colors akin to Op Art began to occur. I emphasized these, as well as building up the color in almost impasto effects adding to the frenzy. As the drawing progressed, it expressed additional meanings of the temper of the times.

Transformation, connections, shadow and light are themes that I explore in my artistic practice. My work is constructed in layers that I keep apart allowing the shadows created by the change of light to become a vital part of the artwork. The shadows visually mingle with the two layers creating a labyrinthine image and revealing kaleidoscopic forms of interconnected microcosms. Strolleroptera is a word that I created combining English word "stroller" and the word "ptera" meaning "wings" in Greek.

digital art 42 x 26 x 1.5" I am a digital artist who uses synesthetic visions and sensory intrusions to create my artistic realities. As a Florida-based artist, the only frozen we usually get is the margaritas poured, so please pass the lime! I am a color-driven artist due to synesthesia. I am also a prolific artist who has acquired savantism and "feels" art 24/7. That feeling requires an intense amount of time and focus. I use so many digital tools for each piece that I have lost count of them. No work is created in precisely the same way. These three digital submissions exemplify how I use fractal art and delve into formulas and geometry. This method is often the way I begin my art creation but not how I end it. These works exemplify the variety I create as a "digital art chameleon." I am an abstract artist within the Techspressionism movement founded by Colin Goldberg.

digital 12 x 12" Diana de Avila is an artist based in Sarasota, FL, who embarked on her artistic journey in 2017. During that time, Diana faced the challenges of relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) and worsening traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, amidst these difficulties, her artistic gift suddenly and explosively emerged, fueled by acquired savant syndrome and synesthesia. Despite lacking formal training, de Avila has created over 2000 digital art pieces rooted in fractal geometry, drawing inspiration from the convergence of quantum physics, chaos theory, and divine order. Her cosmic digital art, both dynamic and serene, delves into various technological expressions of art. Within the artistic movement "Techspressionism," founded by Colin Goldberg, she has found her "tribe," continually pushing the boundaries of her digital art and exploring innovative approaches to creation. Diana holds the title of Signature member in the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) and is a National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) member. She is also part of the Sarasota artist collective known as SArtQ and is represented by DEFINE Art Gallery in Sarasota, FL.

painting 24 x 36 x 2" My painting "Kindred Spirits" bridges the gap between animals and humans. In my painting, Mwenda, a keeper in Kenya, says good-bye to his magnificent friend, Sudan, the last Northern White male Rhino. They are kindred spirits who blend together, just like their colors blend. Their curved forms are shared, heavy with a shared grief and unspoken love and respect. Together they form "Kindred Spirits" teaching Humanity lessons of extinction and lessons of Love with Sudan's last breath.

Mixed Media 12 x 12 in. The woodblock print Just off of Salem Street was inspired by a walk on a fall day at the North End. I love to walk around, gazing at buildings from different angles, and noticing their shapes and textures. On this cloudless afternoon, I photographed Boston’s architectural homes. The apartment buildings were detailed, climbing with long vines and beautiful windows. When I returned to the studio, I sketched, the inspiration falling from my mind to the paper. I transferred the sketch to a woodblock and began to carve the wood. Once the carving was completed, I inked the woodblock and ran it through the press repeatedly until the artwork was finished.

sculpture 11.75. x 7.25 x 3" My ceramic work is defined by my love of the human form. A childhood love of fantasy finds its way into my work. I express the absurdity of life while drawing influence from unexpected sources like the lyrics of music and nursery rhymes. I have a clear vision of a finished piece before I start. With this idea in mind I immediately start with a combination of wheel thrown pieces, coils and slabs. I alter by pinching, cutting and adding clay until my idea emerges. My pieces are decorated with colored slips and underglazes while still wet. After the 1st firing I add pigmented washes and glazes. My 2nd firing is to 2232°. The last firing to add 24k gold details completes the process. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Song to Ukraine was my response to the invasion of Ukraine. The sense of helplessness in world events often overwhelms me, and although I know my painting will not bring peace to Ukraine perhaps it can bring some personal peace to someone who views it. This painting was included in an exhibit in Tulsa, OK dedicated to the Ukrainian refugees who have arrived to live in our city.acrylic 30 x 40 x 2"
