  • Photograph printed on watercolor paper using liquid light 20 x 15 in. My photographic goal has been to achieve simplicity of design and composition reminiscent of classical style. I have created images, often using as my subject the reflection of my own body in mirrors. The reflected image brings a surreal quality to the images, transcending time and space. My model is a woman in search of her lost identity: a mother, daughter, lover, and divorced wife, torn between her traditional upbringing and her present life in a foreign land. In 1989, I started using “liquid light” on watercolor paper with my photographs in the darkroom, painting with this medium to show the brush strokes. In my own style, I achieve a unique combination of strokes and images, so that my photographs may look like Japanese black brush paintings. By using brush strokes I was able to bring flowing movement into my pictures, resulting in fascinating visual effects.

  • Archival digital photograph on paper 16 x 20 in.   Walking by the bedroom I was touched by the intimate moment at day's end between this mother and daughter as her brother is already in dreamland.

  • Digital photo ltd ed signed on front 11 x 14 in.   In Tales of a Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes said: “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.” I take my camera out. I may choose a subject; I may think “that would make a great picture”; I may visit a new place or one I’ve seen before. I want to observe and to present things in a way that causes the viewer to stop and observe. I want people to see other people.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Photograph on photo paper 11 x 8.5 in.   A family get together for a week can be intense. To find a moment of quiet and solitude is a blessing. I caught my daughter-in-law in such a moment.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Photograph 12 x 12 in.   I felt so fortunate to have caught this special moment of two women friends, one cool summer morning as they walked together in the sea. I loved that they were touching, as though one was guiding or encouraging the other to move through the water, perhaps deep in conversation. I feel this scene said so much, especially since they were alone. It speaks to friendship. The joy and encouragement we experience from it and the importance of connection.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • 35mm digital image 18 x 12 in. w/frame 26 x 20 in.   The image titled 489 was produced from a 35mm digital image. Other than saving it a jpg no other actions took place in Photoshop. The image was captured on an early July morning at a local kayak shop. The bright, colorful design shows the reflection of a rack of kayaks on the side of a glossy black box trailer. I could not resist the playful, abstract shapes that changed forms with every step as I approached. The pattern of the black panel rivets creates a repeating rhythm to the design.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Color Photograph 12 x 12 in.   "Siblings: Allies and Adversaries in Life's Journey" captures a moment of quiet togetherness, focusing on two siblings sitting side by side. Despite the challenges they may face, their bond is evident in the small, unconscious ways they mirror each other. The photograph looks down on them, revealing their legs crossed in the same way, a subtle yet powerful symbol of their deep connection. This image illustrates how, even in their differences, siblings often find themselves in sync, reflecting each other’s movements and emotions as they journey through life together.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Color Photograph 14 x 11 in.   Taking these photographs through beveled glass allowed me to project distortion as well as the use of imagination.

The yellow image is a vase filled with flowers, but it could be anything you imagine - even scrambled eggs   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Digital photograph printed on Epson photo paper 13 x 10 in.   This photo is close to my heart, taken while on tour with my now adult daughter in Vietnam. The grandmother seemed very confused while the younger women pointing a figure at her called her out. The tired look on her face, the protected child on her back, the woman behind her hearing and taking note… all called to my sense of awareness of kindness lost.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Digitally enhanced photograph 12 x 12 in.   Making sense of the world these days can be overwhelming. Life is complicated and the stimuli constant. I often long to get away to my happy place by the sea, listening only to the wind song and the rhythm of the tide, feel the sea breeze wash over me, and just breathe. “Amid a world of noisy, shallow actors it is noble to stand aside and say, 'I will simply be.” - Henry David Thoreau   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Photograph 30 x 20 in. w/frame 34 x 24 in. Red Descent: Descenso Rojo is a visual narrative exploring life and identity through my mother’s Puerto Rican culture. This photograph showcases a hibiscus, the national flower, viewed through red glass that forms an eye-like aperture, symbolizing a birth canal. The red vase, a sentimental gift from my mother on Valentine’s Day, adds personal depth to the piece. The vivid hues echo the passion and intensity of the island, while the glass emulates waves of the sea, and flowing blood, capturing the essence of both strength and resilience. The flower’s human-like figure embodies the journey of birth and rebirth, reflecting a profound interplay of chaos and tranquility. The eye-like structure suggests awareness and introspection, inviting a view through a lens of rich heritage and personal growth. This image celebrates the enduring spirit and beauty emerging from transformative experiences. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Photograph 8 x 10 in. The Moroccan women mostly live substandard.

  • Photography 15.28 x 13.6 in.   Becoming a commuter late in life, the visuals in the subway have sensitized me to the lives of all those who ride, guide and sustain the system, and how they protect their personal space. In a city of nearly 8 million, the diversity and impact of so many lives upon each other, requires this protection That said, it is also the moments when those boundaries are broken by the good or bad interactions, that defines the residents' and visitors' experience.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Photograph on watercolor fine art paper 11 x 14 in. w/ frame 16 x 20 in.   The forest is my sanctuary, a place where I can slow down and appreciate Nature's gifts—serenity, solace, and healing. It's where I reconnect with a sense of childlike awe and collective bonding to its physical, mental, and spiritual riches of light and connectivity. My works capture the dappled light and life up close and personal, creating a symbiotic relationship with the past and present. The subjects of lichen, moss, algae, and insects showcase the symbiotic relationship with trees in textural detail and harmonizing colors found beneath the trees and offer observations of symbiotic life, hope, and light of our collective future.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Photography 16 x 20 x 2 in.   There are no hands like a grandmother's, that have soothed the sick, planted and tended the seeds, cooked and served the food, sewed clothes, and might have delivered a spanking or two! Each line, each wrinkle has been well earned, over decades of love and selfless care for her family.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Oil on canvas 21 x 25 in.   LOOK OUTSIDE The model for this painting is my beautiful granddaughter Jamie, with gorgeous naturally curly saffron colored hair. She is only 8 years old here, but she is tall, making her look older. She is unaware of her natural youthful beauty. I love the lopsided bow on the back of her shirt. Seeing the work in progress, Jamie asked me to put an owl in the painting. I painted a barn owl in flight. The owl, like her wisdom, is coming towards her, but in her innocence, she looks the other way. Pensive (Jesse)This lovely young woman sits at the sweet threshold of adulthood. Her skin is soft and rosy. She's surrounded by hearth and home.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Mixed media, drawing on paper 24 x 18 x 1 in.   Lena is my oldest grandchild and only granddaughter. Although she lives on the West coast, we have always shared a special bond. This summer, while she, her father and brother were visiting us in Virginia, she got her first period. Later, as we sat together, I began to sketch. At one point, she created a peep hole to look through as we talked. That gesture portrayed for me the ambivalence of the moment. It felt as though she was looking out at the future, as she contemplated the consequences of her body changing to her adult self. Her pose captured he tension between childhood and adulthood, highlighting the uncertainty and conflicting emotions that come with this transition   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Oil on canvas 24 x 18 x 1 in.   This picture is a retrospective look at my life. The path of a women who grew up in Siberia, and as an adult began wandering around other countries and culture.

So this painting is my appreciation to them.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Acrylic on canvas 20 x 20 in.   When I was a young girl, my dad taught me to swim. He'd let me hold onto him as he swam deep underwater....and I loved that feeling of gliding through the water, holding onto him. I never could last as long as he could underwater, and I'd have to let go and swim madly up for air. Those are some of my favorite memories with him...swimming. When he died, I dreamed we were swimming together again, only this time I was the one swimming deep underwater and he was the one swimming madly to the surface...and this time he went far further than the surface.; he went straight on into the sky. I woke up missing him, but happy we could swim together again...even if it is in my dreams.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Oil on canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5 in.   When my mother passed away I found I couldn't continue painting as usual and painted only her death for six months, always in an expressionist manner. At first the works were colorful, even cheery; next a beautiful waterfall of tears; and finally, my entry "Mourning Aiti," a somber, and as it happens, feminine, design.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Ink, pastel, and color pencil on paper 40 x 22.5 in.   Ever since antiquity, astronomers have studied the 13 phases of Venus, from her rise as the morning star, to her descent into invisibility, and her re-emergence in the evening sky. These phases occur over a 19-month cycle, marking both a physical and a spiritual passage. I expressed each phase in a different work. The journey begins with Inception, passing through Gestation, Birth, Emergence towards Fullness and Self-Discovery. Then Immersion and Transmutation are followed by Rebirth, Remembering, Wholeness, Completion. My inspiration was a found ledger of observations of the 1874 Transit of Venus, a phenomenon occurring every 243 years when the planet moves across the face of the sun.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Monotype 36 x 24.74 x .75 in.   The forest, for me, is more than just a place. It's a sanctuary, a source of inspiration, and a canvas for my art. It's where I slow down and appreciate the gifts of nature, experience serenity, and seek healing. This deep connection to nature is the driving force behind my work. It reflects life's journeys as an artist, a mother, and my role as a human in the natural world. My art vibrates with this, communicating with mark=making rooted in impressionism and abstractionism, forming a symbiotic relationship with the past and present with the joy of raising children and sadness of leaving the nest. The works are a dance of light and hope that I found in change and share with the viewer.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Oil on stretched linen canvas 16 x 16 x 1/2 in.   Moving on in life I became steadily aware of the fact that my relationship with dreams and aspirations had become disconnected, survival became the guiding star. Stepping back and embracing larger constellations, realizing that all lives have an end date, it was time to make the most of what time I do have left, which is to nurture my original impulses and challenges while at the same time creating meaningful connections between how I feel and ways to express it.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • acrylic on canvas 33 x 33 x 2" These paintings are part of a series I am now working on called Organic Abstractions. Originally, they were produced as very small (6"x6"), intricate, very detailed collage and mixed media pieces. I decided use them as blueprints to rework them into much larger paintings. As always color takes center stage. It is the driving force behind all of my work..   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • oil on linen 38 x 28 x 1.5" My paintings deal with the luminosity of light. They are inspired by a need and my choice to embrace brightness and positivity in the darkness that seems to hover over the entire world like an enormous dark cloud. I use organic shapes that are derived from nature with the intention to lift the spirits of the viewer.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • acrylic on canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5" What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art. Growing up in multiple cultures influences my work, and my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. Through the use of vibrant colors, a sense of movement, and unexpected imagery, I hope the viewer is drawn into my work in a way that provides space for their own interpretation and lived experience, but always with a twist, as in RNA. At first glance it appears to be a landscape, but there is more more to this story that I hope the viewer will see.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • acrylic & mixed media on canvas 24 x 18 x .2" What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art. Growing up in multiple cultures influences my work, and my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. I paint mostly in acrylics and gouache, and love to experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. As I work, I am often inspired with new images, so I find myself working on several paintings at the same time, or creating a series. The Dance is part of my "music moves us" series, interpreting music and movement through the use of vivid colors, papier mache and fabric.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • acrylic on stretched canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5" My approach in creating this artwork was to render a turbulent underpainting and then add an overlaid of white shapes which redirect the contrasting energies and movement of the image.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • oil on canvas 36 x 48 x 2" This is a one of ancient symbolic fruits.

  • oil on canvas 40 x 30 x 1" In my painting I wanted to express my first impression of Manhattan. It was too big to comprehend. So I decided to settle magical images of shamanic culture of my first home Siberian culture in this city to make it more friendly and merciful towards me and my family.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • oil on panel 26 x 20 x 2" The spark of inspiration for this body of work came from a stay in New York City, specifically in the Chelsea neighborhood. In the painting Chelsea’s Story, the vibrating, sunlit colors on the church spires were absolutely irresistible and something I had to paint in contrast to the rest of the building in shadow. I find this an exciting approach in my work, paying respect to artists I admire who have come before such as Edward Hopper, Charles Sheeler and countless masters.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • acrylic, oil, ink, & canvas collage on linen 36 x 24 x 1.5" My painting series is a profound dialogue between our planet’s crisis and my creative expression. I often ask myself what message I can give the viewer through my art. We are living in perilous times with climate change affects accelerating. As an artist I am constantly looking at the beauty of the land and oceans and inspired to create my perception in an abstract and organic way. When one sees my art, I want to convey not just a painting but a story of our planet. I look at the elements of the earth, the balance of nature, and a bird’s eye view of the stunning contrast of land that we don’t always see. While our planet is vast and different it is all one in how we can preserve it for future generations. I see inspiration in the elements of Earth and beyond in its organic and abstract nature. Many of the materials used in painting are derived from elements of the earth and I use these elements to build something abstract and yet symbolic of what our planet is made of.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • watercolor & mixed media on paper 30 x 23" I am an abstract painter, and I work primarily in watercolors with mixed media elements on paper. I’m inspired by the interplay of colors, shapes, and uneven lines, and I love the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor paints. I work very intuitively: I always have a starting point - a particular color combination or focal point - but then I just go wherever inspiration leads me, often surprising myself! My work is very influenced by nature, and I find myself particularly drawn to loose rounded shapes, which have become a recurring motif in much of my work. I often include botanical elements in my artwork, most of which have deep personal significance for me - reminding me of cherished people and places in my life. Painting brings me peace, balance, and joy, and it helps me maintain an even keel in our uncertain times.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • acrylic & collage on sintra panel 48 x 60 x .25" My images are primarily painted directly from life, with the subject typically casting a gaze back at the viewer. My paintings respond to themes “humanity”- my fellow women, forced migration, social justice, civil rights, natural and man-made calamities, as well as the respite of nature’s continuum. My process comes from my desire to bypass self-conscious inhibitions in the pursuit of self-expression. In 1990, I felt artistically "reborn" when I started painting with my non-dominant left hand and discovered renewed creative freedom. This, as well as using oversized brushes, gives me speed and fluidity, resulting in either as a fully representational finished painting, or the base on which to build a mixed media collage.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Fiber 8 x 8 x 1.5 in. Symbols and their relationships to each other form the syntax of my Logic Grid. Drawing on ideas of the intersection between written language and spirituality, this piece includes passages that are meticulous hand stitched, embellished with gold leaf, and monoprinted. Then it is deconstructed and reassembled, being refined with each reconstruction into a unique language to be sensed more than read.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Batik on silk mounted on canvas 40 x 30"
    During my travels through Morocco, particularly in the enchanting city of Safi, I became captivated by the intricate beauty and cultural significance of their doors.  In Safi, doors are adorned with intricate tile work, reflecting the city's rich history as a center of pottery and ceramics. I never knew what I would discover as I rounded the corner in the Medina- the ancient walled part of the city. Through my photographs and batik paintings, I aim to capture the essence of these Moroccan doors—celebrating their visual splendor and the stories they silently hold, inviting viewers to journey with me into the heart of North African culture.

  • oil on canvas 40 x 30 x 1.5"
    This painting was inspired by the flowers on the tropical brugmansia plant I have been overwintering for years and abstractly by images of the galaxy in which we are a part. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant community of life in my garden, my flowers invite universal questions of existence and purpose in their quest for survival, eventual senescence, and rebirth. The merging of the visions of space with the identifiable floral images by using transparent glazing between the micro and macro visions symbolizes the interconnectedness and fragility of all life, underscoring the need for open discourse to ensure universal survival.

    Borrowing the lake house of a friend, and taking time away from the usual, a group of my friends gathered on Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, for fun and adventure. This image of the house reflected in the lake, is the view from a kayak. The friends (not shown but having stayed together in the house) are those from high school, and the reflections may represent how time breaks up the memories, as well as how moving water, like time, breaks up the reflections. The more friends, the more broken memories may be stitched back together, especially when some go back to elementary school!

  • 4 refracted watercolors on up-cycled box with poem 6 x 16 x 11"
    An old jewelry box was up-cycled - the four surfaces cleaned and 4 refracted watercolors added to correspond with each of the four lines of a poem written for the box. Sky knows the snow will cloak the resting branches Sky knows the tilting of the earth will warm the trees and bring them to life Sky knows the heat of the summer will bring the fruit ready for harvest Sky knows the falling of leaves returns the strength of the tree to the earth for the next year. Most of the other surfaces are just left as they were, to remind the user of the box's previous life. Acrylic glazing makes the box a useable item.

  • encaustic & mixed media 18 x 24 x 2"
    With the artwork Path to Enlightenment I explore the hidden wealth of information that marginalized communities contain. This painting references life in the deep sea. The deep sea exists below 200 meters and is vastly under explored. Organisms in the deep sea help to remove more than one third of the carbon dioxide produced by human activity on earth. Thus, these denizens of the deep may be instrumental in slowing down catastrophic climate change. In considering this painting as a metaphor for gleaning knowledge from underrepresented factions, which other living communities may contain knowledge vital to our survival on earth?

    The exquisite landform at Sunset Cliffs in La Jolla, California, belies the unwitting sacrifices made by indigenous populations who stood in the way of conquest and "progress." Their memory transmuted onto the canvas by way of this artist's brush in an undeniable form. I contemplated this surprise for a few months before deciding to honor it, front and center.

  • acrylic & oil paint on canvas 48 x 48 x 1.5"
    Fire and Ice is a plea for us to recognize our profound interconnection with all life on earth, the impact of humanity's disconnection from the natural world and from each other. It offers solace and a recognition of the inherent beauty of our natural world even as It highlights the need to address this existential challenge. My intention is for Fire and Ice to be part of the great web of healing. I invite you to engage with the painting, lose yourself in its details, meditate on its meanings, and to carry those messages into your daily lives.

    With all the tension in the world with aggression and war, I wanted to create an image that represented the end of the conflict. There is a feeling of exhaustion of the soldier's limp arm. There is no weapon in his open hand. The soldier has given everything for a cause, but his desire to continue has come to an end. Let the symbolism of the toga, wing of victory and laurel wreath inspire dialog and compromise to bring peace.

    Seeing Land After a Long Journey is inspired by my many crossings of oceans where no land is seen for many days. There is a special feeling of excitement when experiencing the first signs of land such as twigs, birds and the distant change in the horizon. With each crossing, I was reminded about explorers like Columbus and his crew who voyaged into the unknow and had sense of excitement and relief too when they saw the first signs of land.

  • acrylic, airbrush, latex, ink on canvas 48 x 48 x 1"
    Primeval Caprice is a conceptual abstract interpreting the both the repetitive, predictable patterning and surprising randomness of our biological world. As there will always be more to learn about the unseen that makes up everything, this work seeks to engage in a playful conversation with surprises that will reveal themselves in time. Recognizing that we are all "made up of the same stuff," my hope is that the visual connection viewers may make with the piece will plant the seeds for this awareness in other aspects of our lives, especially those that seek to sow division.

  • acrylic, watercolor, metallic watercolor, soap, & ink 30 x 30 x 2.25"
    The ocean delivers gifts of beauty in special ways. This piece is intended to invoke thoughts of unexpected tenderness via the tumbling, rustling, and tossing of the currents. After being carefully sheltered by a jagged, stone-like exterior, the gentle, shiny abalone interior holds a surprising hue. The tender pearl contained within a myriad of colorful hues displays proof that beauty can be carefully created and then surrendered from within the center of the toughest elements. Abalone Heart reminds us that we are strong and resilient. We will render the product of our worth despite the storms we experience.

    The "Woven View" sculptural dress, meticulously crafted and stitched from a canvas painting, echoes the resilience and narratives of Palestinian culture. Inspired by the traditional embroidered Palestinian Thobe, it links Palestinians to their homeland and reflects cultural self-expression and identity. By cutting and stitching canvas, the dress creates a borderless composition, symbolizing the ongoing struggle and resilience of a society forced into scattered exile. It represents the unwavering determination to reclaim autonomy and pursue a brighter future, embodying the spirit of defying injustices to preserve identity and hope.

    This owl is part of a series of Sentinel Figures. I mean them to be protective and fierce. I started them during the pandemic when I just wanted to protect my family and friends. They are all made with a combination of forms thrown on a potters wheel and forms that are modeled. I read about and studied images of owls for inspiration. Owls are awesome.

  • acrylic on cradled wood panel 24 x 18 x .75"
    This painting, Star Mass, was inspired by the poem, The Sleeping Prophet (Astronomy of Love) written by Josepha Gutelius. The materiality of this poem really spoke to me, especially the lines, "Every one of us in the plush arms of giants, crammed full of dreams and milk and star mass." (copyright Josepha Gutelius) Those lines evoke thoughts of life, death and rebirth - the fiery moment when a star flares out or when a soul's new journey begins.

    On a trip to France in 2005, I was inspired by the idyllic landscape and skies to begin my Trees Leaving series. I was thinking about the threat we have become to our natural environment and remembering Magritte’s floating men in bowler hats. After the pandemic hit, I continued the series with another twist. Rather than one or lots of trees leaving, chunks of isolated areas lifted into the sky. Autumn Passing is one of these pieces. I have found it deeply gratifying to keep this series evolving with ever expanding meaning.

  • charcoal on Arches paper 25 x 19.5"
    In depicting individuals at different ages and life stages, I engage themes of temporal change, individual vulnerability and human mortality. As I preserve a time and moment in the subject’s evolution, I acknowledge the inevitable unstoppable sea of change we ride in life. This child gaze was riveting, both vulnerable and fierce; the drawing is another in a portrait series that honors the purest of encounters with the special little humans in my life. The difficult and satisfying challenge in my portraiture is to portray some unarmed truth and in so doing to suggest our complex humanity and shared experience.

    In a day of expectations and heightened awareness, my perceptions focus on an unexpected moment of reverie. The composition excites me, as does the sense that something mysterious and magical is happening. I feel an ethereal twinkling of transition, a subtle change that only color can capture, and I am in thrall.

    When I am upset by something I always head to my studio to bring my world to a peaceful place. 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.

    Primarily rooted in abstract expressionism, my paintings reflect an evolving universe where communication is less concrete. My visual language evolved with my own memories and experiences making up the stories I needed to tell through my art. This process-oriented work explores themes of the human condition, identity, and self-reflection. It takes me back to bright spots in my memory when I felt close to starting a new chapter and the decision felt right - it felt like the punctuating marks of time of a sunrise and a sunset. The promise of a new day and the magic light that happens at both hours.

    Lavender Tango is a vibrant abstract expression of cherished memories.

    This painting is inspired from a visit to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. It is the latest in my series, Faraway Places.

  • acrylic on Bristol board 10 x 8"
    Night Music is my response to the sounds of nature I experience late at night from the deck of my cabin in the Vermont woods. The human sounds quiet down. My moment of solitude changes to reverie. I am transported by a symphony of natural sounds that fill the air--the rhythmic chorus of the frogs and crickets, the roar of rushing of water in the nearby river, and the percussive sound of wind rustling through the trees all rise up as i gaze at the stars in the dark sky above. The music is soon punctuated by the haunting calls of a pair of great horned owls. I painted Night Music to remember this magical experience.

    My work focuses on exploring the concept of one's soul journey and the mythic idea of one’s daimon, or spiritual companion, as described by Plato. Guided by my daemon, I undertook a month-long residency in Ireland. While exploring the countryside, I stumbled upon "The Greenville Rookery" and was captivated by the sight of hundreds of rooks building nests. Their energy and spirit became intertwined with my artmaking, leaving a lasting impression on my subconscious.

    In the realm where Veil reigns supreme, Curiosity dances like a shimmering dream. Beyond its folds, mysteries softly gleam, Inviting hearts to explore and redeem. Veil invites viewers into a realm where curiosity reigns supreme and fear of the unknown dissipates. Against a backdrop of deep blues and shimmering stars, a young girl boldly parts a veil, revealing a mysterious and enchanting sky beyond. The surrealistic elements, accentuated by subtle hints of purple undertones, evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue. Through this painting, I seek to celebrate the beauty of exploration and the courage it takes to embrace the mysteries that lie beyond the confines of our eve.

    Global Series is meant as a gentle reminder that humanity is not separate from nature but a part of it. In Bear Hugs, polar bears are portrayed in a circular format to represent life on Earth and a loving embrace. The red dot represents the Sun, warmth and the need to stop and consider the effect humanity has on the natural world.

    I love the variety and creative energy of the city but also the hidden places and quiet moments that appear serendipitously in my rambles around the city. My paintings often incorporate dramatic light and perspective to expose the craft and subtle colors of easily overlooked elements of the urban environment. For example, Drain Pipe, Henry Hudson Parkway is a detail of a structure I have painted many times in many lights. This small painting captures a quiet sunset moment under the parkway looking across the river.

  • alabaster on black marble base 14 x 5 x 4"
    For me, creating a sculpture is sharing something deeply personal from one human being to another. In college, I was captivated when I watched a carver working on a piece of limestone. It inspired me and I soon took a chisel to a small piece of limestone. I immediately knew that carving was my artistic home. Being in tune with the stone – its color, its grain, its size – is necessary to create forms in harmony. Alabaster is an elegant material. The stone allows expression from the most delicate to the monumental, highly polished to natural texture, allowing light to penetrate and emanate from its surface. I enjoy shaping such hard materials into sensuous, flowing forms that suggest the human spirit. When I leave elements unfinished or the natural stone, the viewer is invited to complete the sculpture in their mind’s eye.

    I work on an intimate scale, which invites viewers to look closely. While this work, done over a couple of years, is on a wooden panel, many of my paintings are on paper -- again at a small scale. This work is a response to the wildfire skies seen in NY, while others in the series, respond to clearing skies and more.

  • Hand-cut rice paper, historical element, NY Times 15 x 15"
    Nabeshima Nagako (1855-1941) was an elegant lady of Japanese high society from the Meiji period to the early Showa era. In April 1881 Nagako married Nabeshima Naohiro, eleventh and final daimyo of the Saga Domain in Rome, Italy, where he was performing official duties. Nagako served as secretary and chair of the Volunteer Nurses Association of the Japanese Red Cross Society from 1887 to 1936 as well as president of the Oriental Women's Association. The Full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn was my inspiration for this mystical piece. The beauty of the blue cosmos in the night sky abounds over the golden butterflies and dragonflies in my garden this summer. Often, butterflies will appear in our dreams. Seeing butterflies is an invitation to see our transformative possibilities. The Ionic Roman Columns are ancient honeyed relics from past loves -- memories we hold dear.

    I am interested in how nature can act as a metaphor, for instance, how to personify hope, aging, nobility, etc. This ceramic bust was fired in the Japanese Raku process. The word 'Raku' means enjoyment. The figure here is a portrait of my mother, the "Garden Lady." Her head is slightly uplifted, eyes and mouth smiling. Hummingbirds, a dragonfly, a daisy, and gardenia flowers, all symbols of joy adorn the figure. The crackle glaze is a natural result of the quick firing and cooling.

    My art is a profound dialogue between our planet’s crisis and my creative expression. Our planet and its elements are in a delicate balance, we hold the outcome in our hands by how we can prevent worsening climate change. Our land is constantly transforming and as our planet continues to warm, we see these effects more profound and rapid. I see inspiration in the beauty of the ocean, as well as the elements of the planet in its organic and abstract nature. My paintings represent the changing seas, land, and Earth’s balance. I am creating a story of our planet, a story we are writing, the history we are making, and the future we will be living. In my paintings, I use a mixture of mediums to create illuminating and transparent effects. I work with acrylic and oil, pigment powders, ink, and gold leaf markers.

    I believe the connection between an artist and their viewer is possible through the recognition of familiar imagery. While presenting most challenges for the artist, traditional realism is the easiest way to ensure that connection. Realism is not a thing from the past that only belongs in museums but rather a clear, eloquent language that can get a contemporary message across, be serious or whimsical, humorous, or even playful.

    After retiring following a long career in international affairs, this Washington DC-based artist has deepened her abiding interest in photography. During COVID, her subjects focused on the day-to-day objects in her home and Capitol Hill neighborhood. She honed her skills with online digital photography courses focusing on light, composition, and color, with thematic challenges to sharpen her skills of observation and creativity. Her work includes subjects from her domestic and international travels. Major interests include architecture, interiors, street scenes, plant life, landscapes, skyscapes, daily life, and reflections. She uses her cellphone camera, which is always with her, for her photos.

    In my paintings, I use concepts of abstraction, cubism, and surrealism to explore the elusive qualities of time, energy, and storytelling. My artistic goal is to create seductive surfaces and provocative forms that involve the viewer. I call these works "Mindscapes". My influences come from everywhere, other art forms, the directness of child’ art, past experiences, and current social situations. I want my painting to be fresh, and direct and engage the viewer in interpretation. This work is upbeat and joyful, full of contrasting shapes and bright colors with an exciting world beneath the horizon.

    I am a New York-based painter working in oils, gouache, and watercolor. I paint places, people, and things that are dear to my heart, collecting and distilling the images from memory or my photographs. I use my intuitive sense of color and composition to reflect my emotional relationship to the subject. In my abstract work, I create mandalas and other patterns in sacred geometry which I find mediative and centering. I paint on linen, canvas, and wood panels mostly within the satisfying limitations of a square. My paintings often reveal quiet moments that reflect my desire to counter the vicissitudes of the daily news and one's life experiences. I paint because I love the materials and to express and uncover my relationship with the subject matter.

  • Platinum/palladium photography
    14 x 11" In my artwork, I capture the simple beauty in the natural environment, providing moments of serenity. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. This image was originally captured with infrared film; the negative was subsequently scanned and transformed into a digital negative. I then contact-printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th-century idyllic landscapes, and lending a poetic quality to the image.

    5 x 5 x 1" I am drawn to glass as a medium because glass has a wonderful physical property, transparent or opaque, allowing you to see the illusion of space and depth. This causes a magical flow, embodying fun, playfulness, and spiritual energy. This can be healing, by holding you in the present moment to enjoy that magic, be enthralled, look within, and be charmed so you forget the world’s challenges.

    12.5 x 13.75" My 12-piece Screen Shot series explores the transformed landscape of communication in the digital age, particularly under the shadow of the pandemic, which changed the way I connected with family, friends, and colleagues. Due to the lockdown, I found myself attending more and more virtual meetings and interacting with people on a screen. These works depict a screenshot of those people and the spaces behind them during these meetings. I strategically used silhouettes, which both safeguard privacy and add an element of intrigue. While protecting a person’s identity, I also offer an intimate glimpse into their personal spaces – pictures on the wall, books on their shelves, pets on their laps, prompting reflections on the dichotomy of connection and isolation in our digital reality.

    10 x 10" If one lets go of fear and sits quietly in the woods, another world reveals itself. I go there often since I read the book, The Hidden Lives of Trees by Peter Wohllben. This world lives alongside our commercial world. Litter from the commercial world abounds. Is the handkerchief a hindrance to this natural life or will a bird use it in a nest? Is man a hindrance to nature or are we meant to work together?

  • Monoprint using a milk carton as the plate
    10.5 x 10.5" My purpose in making art is to touch the ineffable, to go beyond words into the deep belly of creativity. It is to meet myself in the wellspring and have a conversation with the viewer, to communicate in a deep and intimate way at first sight, in an instant. I strive only to be in harmony with each line, each splash of color and splatter of ink as it strikes the painting surface, to reveal what is already there. The experience of making marks gets truly exciting when I resist the impulse to name what I’m seeing take shape and open myself up to the possibility of not knowing, of just seeing and experiencing whatever is in front of me – what it is saying, what it is becoming. To let it do me rather than me do it.
