In Full Recognition No. 2 18 x 18 acrylic on paper This triptych uses the monoprint process to explore the delicate boundary between being seen and being forgotten. Inherently, a monoprint is a singular, unrepeatable ghost of an image—a fitting metaphor for the unique yet often marginalized lives of women throughout our nation’s history, particularly women of color in our national narrative. The fading image of the woman in resplendent headdress (In Full Recognition No. 1) represents the systemic invisibility and erasure that have long sought to diminish her power. As the image recedes over the second and third prints in the series (in Full Recognition No. 2 and No. 3), it also demands a more intentional gaze and prompts feelings of grasping to fully memorialize her before she is gone. What remains when a collective voice is suppressed? What reclaimed when we center HerStory? This triptych does not simply mourn collective loss for what could have been but aims to transform that loss into an empowered future where every woman is fully recognized and heard. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Sunlit Leaves and Railing 24 x 24 x 1.5 oil on canvas These paintings were inspired by quiet moments of contrast in New York City, where life persists within heavily constructed environments. In Sunlit Leaves & Railing, light filtering through begonia leaves softens the boundary between ironwork and nature. In Surreal Perch, a black pigeon pauses on a rusted prism sidewalk in Tribeca, where worn industrial surfaces catch shifting color and light. My process begins with observing overlooked details and the way light changes them. I’m interested in the tension between organic and industrial forms—plants against ironwork, birds moving through hard urban surfaces, and shadows breaking up structure. I build the paintings through layers of paint and texture to capture the atmosphere of a place while allowing ordinary subjects to feel transformed.

They Went in Anyway 22 x 30 mixed media This drawing honors the eleven young women of the group known as The Norfolk 17. These were Black students who, in February 1959, integrated six previously all-white public schools in Norfolk, Virginia, after months of school closures enforced under the state’s policy of “Massive Resistance.” In defiance of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, Virginia chose to deny education rather than desegregate. The students depicted are: Top row: Johnnie Rouse, Patricia Turner, Carol Wellington, Olivia Driver, Lolita Portis Middle row: Delores Johnson, LaVera Forbes, Geraldine Talley Bottom row: Betty Jean Reed, Claudia nh Wellington, Patricia Godbolt Out of 151 Black applicants subjected to deliberately discriminatory testing and interviews, only seventeen were admitted. The majority were girls. Supported by churches and the NAACP, these young women entered schools where they faced daily threats, spitting, physical assaults, and profound isolation. Yet they persisted, understanding that their presence carried consequences far beyond their own lives. Rather than depicting spectacle or confrontation, this work focuses on their composure, dignity, and collective strength. Their courage forced the reopening of Norfolk’s public schools and contributed to the nation’s ongoing struggle toward educational equity. These young women were not only students—they were agents of change, embodying the civic power of “Her Story” Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Rives Bfk,watercolor pencil, neocolor2, varnish, Cradled wood panel
Size of Piece: 30 x 30 x 1.5A few years back while visiting my brother and sister-in -law in New York, we took the train out to Belmont Park to watch the horse race. Although I often draw wild horses, I had never before experienced the energy of a live thoroughbred race. The horses, with their graceful yet powerful bodies, rumbled past the stands in a blur of color as their jockeys urged them on. I took many photographs that day ,and I continue to create drawings inspired by that experience. This piece, “Racing the Big Sandy, refers to the local nickname for Belmont Racetrack, and captures the trillI felt watching the racers thunder past.
I created this drawing using watercolor pencils and Neocolor 2 on Rives Bfk paper adhered to and varnished on a cradled wood panel.

Standing Firm, After Tuck Langland (sculpture) watercolor on paper 30 x 22 Visiting Brookgreen Gardens in Murrell's Inlet, in South Carolina is always special. I found the sculptures of "Tuck" Langland and this one spoke to me, as I have done yoga all my adult life, and this figure is in the well-known tree pose. The harmony of the sculpture with the live oak and Spanish moss backdrop spoke to me, and I portrayed it in watercolor on paper.

Hukuk 9 x 11" gouache and acrylic on canvas I explore the idea of tangibility of spaces that we, as social individuals, pass through daily in our lives. Sometimes we have a feeling of belonging to particular spaces, sometimes consider certain spaces our own, and sometimes feel that we don’t belong anywhere. Since I tend to not have a feeling of belonging to places in my daily life, I seek to grasp onto specific physical environments through paint, allowing them to become palpable in my itinerant life.

AphroditeAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.oil on canvas, gold leafSize of Piece: 24 x 20 x 2
I conjure intimate dialogues on canvas that speak of who we are—beauties, souls, goddesses, lovers, warriors. I paint to celebrate the magic inside every woman. We are beauties, souls, goddesses, lovers, warriors. I paint to show the magic inside every woman. We shine with grace like Aphrodite—the most beautiful goddess of love—full of softness and light. We also stand strong like a divine warrior, wearing gold helmet and gentle pink gown at the same time, showing that our power comes from being both brave and tender. Sometimes we are a mirror too—my painting with a young woman kissing her reflection reminds us we all want to feel seen and loved. That “love yourself” isn’t just words—it’s a deep hug from your own heart, a way to feel close to others again. My paintings are simple conversations with our souls, celebrating how we are strong and gentle, brave and kind, always beautiful and always real.

Beneath the Murmur of the Distant ShoresAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.fabricSize of Piece: 30 x 30 x 1.5
I’m a textile artist who is inspired by the world around me, especially by nature. I look at my surroundings with inquisitive eyes and mind, with curiosity, knowing there are hidden treasures to be found and turned into art.
My artistic approach is mostly intuitive with a constant awareness of color combination and contrast. The use of strong colors is a direct influence of my Brazilian heritage. Using fabric as the medium to create my art pieces was a natural choice since I have been working with it from my teenage years.
My creative process can be described in two phases. The first one is the combination of inspiration and visualization of an art piece. The second phase is transforming what I visualized into actual artwork. It requires selecting fabrics as close as possible to my vision, adjusting, and sometimes, starting all over again.

Star Gazing 36 x 36 acrylic, oil, cold wax on cradled wood In the first work, Star Gazing, it was part of a series of work during the Covid Pandemic. During this time of isolation where most of us felt far removed from family and friends with the fear of the unknown, I tapped into what we all could see collectively. We all as humans, during that time had the connection to the natural world around us and because we could literally look up into the sky and all see the same set of stars, it gave me hope that we would be okay in the end. Summer In Bloom No. 1: part of a recent series called Shifting Hours reflecting on the subtle changes that shape both nature and emotion—the quiet movement of light, the passing of time, the calm that follows chaos. Each painting begins with spontaneous energy and evolves into balance, mirroring the natural. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Study for One Woman's Work: A Framed Portrait 26 x 22.5 ink, charcoal, watercolor Statement: The wall hung sculpture One Woman’s Work: A Framed Portrait is a somber image of a relative dressed in mourning muslin framed by a colonial house fragment, her work place. This large sculpture was planned using preliminary studies with different ideas. The drawing presented for the HerStory250, Study for One Woman’s Work: A Framed Portrait is one of them. In this preliminary the person is an image of a young woman from my family’s collection. In this drawing she is sad and is waiting for people to return from the revolutionary war. She is pictured within an ill-kempt house symbolizing that the caregivers are gone, representing time, and an eroded history, yet she remains dressed in vigil. Unlike the larger sculptural representation, no window guard, screens, or even glass appears in her unprotected state. As in the sculpture, hanging over this window is the colonial symbol for unity, the Betsy Ross Flag shown frayed by long term display representing the many years of wars. During our 250th Anniversary, her portrait is readable, may appeal to a library audience as a reminder of individual grief, and contains threads that strengthened my imagination about the other 64 women in my family who were dealing with the turbulence of the Revolutionary War and Colonial Period.

Animated Forms Variation VIII (The Inner Core III): Circle of Life Series 20 x 20 x 1.75 acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas When painting with acrylics I explore the boundaries between representation & The Inner Core from the Circle of Life Series is about nature's way of taking back & giving life to the earth, a circle of energy.

Hadson Valley 22 x 26 oil on canvas This painting depicts Clermont Manor set within a landscape that captures the natural essence of the Hudson River Valley with its slow-moving waters and the unhurried rhythm of life in Upstate New York. The Clermont mansion is a historic site; Robert R. Livingston, a member of the Committee of Five appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence, resided on this estate. In this painting, I portray an idyllic union of human endeavor and nature. To this day, this mansion stands as a symbolic emblem of our conflicting aspirations, our desire for beauty and harmony with the natural world, alongside our attempts, whether intentional or inadvertent, to subjugate nature through the landscapes we have shaped.

Summer in the City 24 x 20 oil on canvas This painting explores the relationship between an artist and the metropolis. It is a complex relationship. The city, with its cubic forms, the scarcity of nature on its streets, its frenetic pace of life and noise, its biting cold in winter and hellish heat in summer, enters into a complex interplay with the artist. It helps him, inspires him, and at times overwhelms him; yet, simultaneously, it prevents him from drowning in a sense of solitude.
