Marshall Printmaking Size: 8 x 12 Framed Size: 12 x 15 I make prints and drawings of the people I love, the people who are part of my community. I find them in their spaces and reveal a bit about them through the objects, light, and compositions I find them in. Sometimes I make self-portraits, too. I am trained in traditional figure drawing and work most often in soft pastel, but I am a firm believer in learning new processes--the monotypes here are examples of this.

Glimpses Acrylic Paper Size: 10 x 10 My artistic practice is a celebration of the ordinary. I find inspiration in the everyday objects surrounding me, from familiar household items to personal possessions. I aim to reimagine these commonplace subjects through vibrant colors and bold compositions, inviting viewers to see them in anew. By delving deeper into their forms and textures, I seek to uncover hidden beauty and add a layer of intrigue to the familiar. I believe that art can be found in the most unexpected places. By focusing on the details of our everyday lives, I hope to encourage viewers to appreciate the beauty and wonder that exists in the ordinary. I hope to create thought-provoking work, prompting viewers to question their perceptions and see the world around them in a fresh way.

This Side Up Acrylic on Cradled Wood Size: 10 x 10 My paintings are about capturing the energy of life and I hope my viewers feel a sense of happiness when they see my work. Painting is a form of meditation, and my creative force is grief. I have found that immersing myself into creating has helped me throughout my journey of healing, and the process and vibrant colors boost me to a more optimistic state of mind. I am drawn to circles as they symbolize an eternal rhythm of revitalization. Every challenge or misstep we encounter marks another revolution around the circle. Through these cycles, we have the opportunity to learn and grow from our experiences. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Exit Neon Photography Size: 11 x 14 As a mixed media artist, I have spent years exploring and combining various materials to express the intricacies of human memory, emotion, and perception. My work often bridges 21st-century Modernism with the new realism movement, capturing not what is seen, but what is felt and remembered. The intuitive realism at the heart of my paintings has led me on a journey to explore photography as a new medium in my artistic practice. Although my roots are in painting, I began developing my photography work in earnest just last year, bringing with it a fresh dimension to my exploration of light, color, and texture. Photography allows me to capture fleeting moments, unveiling hidden beauty in the everyday. It is an evolution of my mixed media approach, focusing on the delicate interplay between light and shadow, abstraction, and the way our eyes perceive the world around us. In my photographs, I seek to express not just the subject, but the emotional and sensory experience of the moment. Each image is an invitation to see beyond the surface, to find resonance in the seemingly ordinary, and to embrace the energy that exists in the unseen. Through photography, I continue to challenge myself and my artistic practice, using the camera as another tool to reveal the truths that lie beneath the surface. I am excited by the endless possibilities this new medium offers and look forward to sharing more of this evolving work with the world.

Veil Sculpture Size: 12 x 6 x 6 I create expressive, sculptural forms from natural materials, drawing inspiration from both nature and the human figure, often leaning towards abstraction. The unique characteristics of each piece of stone or wood present distinct technical and creative opportunities. I approach my work through a blend of intuitive processes and calculated solutions, using pneumatic and electrical tools to shape the material and finishing each piece meticulously by hand. My work, characterized by smooth, organic shapes, evokes a sense of serenity and contemplation while fostering a connection with the natural environment. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Sunlight on the New Mexico Mountains Watercolor Size: 8 x 8 Framed Size: 10 x 10 My submitted painting, “Sunlight on the New Mexico Mountains,” is part of a series titled 100’ from Home. While tending to my garden or enjoying moments with my dog in the yard, I began to notice the breathtaking views that surrounded me. Unfortunately, many of these open landscapes are disappearing. My gouache painting series aims to capture these precious scenes before they are lost to urban development or the impacts of climate change. Through this work, I hope to express my deep connection to nature and share it with viewers, embodying the concept of biophilia—the human connection to the natural world. My creative process is rooted in personal experience; I exclusively use my own photographs that I take within 100 feet of my home. The reference photograph serves as a loose guide, allowing me to explore the essence of the landscape rather than sticking strictly to details. I work with traditional gouache paint on Ampersand Clayboard cradled panels, a choice I made after developing an allergy to acrylic paint. This medium provides a velvety, soft, and atmospheric quality, perfectly reflecting the beauty of the high mountain desert of New Mexico. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Looking Inward Encaustic Size: 5 x 7 Framed Size: 10 x 12 Whenever I venture into the city I am on the lookout for images that can be translated into encaustic pieces. There is much to chose from although one of my favorite subjects are the people of New York, going about their day. These pieces reflect a moment in time, specifically during the year 2024. Contemporary now, perhaps vintage in the future. Encaustic is a process in which you paint with melted wax, fusing each layer together. I often incorporate a toner transfer, developed from the photographs I’ve taken. Depending upon the technique used, multiple layers can add a depth to the overall piece. When the encaustic is polished it gives a luminescence not seen in other mediums. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Meat on Butcher Paper Acrylic on Canvas Size: 14 x 11 Inspired by the Spanish artist Goya and the French artist Chardin's still-life paintings, I explore themes of death and deterioration in my paintings. My artworks are in every way unlike the traditional still life paintings, they are raw and brutal, provocative in their simplicity and directness. My paintings are at once both macabre and stunningly alluring. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Heartfelt Remembrance #18 Mixed Media: Acrylics, inks, medium, collage, aquarelle, wire Size: 12 x 12 This series holds a special place in my heart. The year 2020 brought profound loss, touching lives directly and indirectly, leaving us with broken hearts. As we grieve and mend, we carry the memories of our loved ones, finding strength in the process of stitching together what remains. When I began this series, the compositions were infused with affirmations and quotes about loss—words that remind us how to carry on while holding those we've lost close to our hearts. These pieces speak to the unseen yet felt presence of our loved ones, always beside us, guiding and watching over us. In my own life, I’ve had moments where I narrowly escaped harm and felt the comforting, heavenly presence of my mother. These experiences inspired the affirmations embedded in this series. Each work in Heartful Remembrance incorporates two or more quotes, some hidden beneath layers of the composition, others faintly visible. Whether seen or unseen, I believe these words emanate an energy of love and hope, carrying blessings to those who connect with the work. In light of ongoing global challenges, I dedicate this series to honor those who have fought and continue to fight for their rights and freedoms. It is my hope that these pieces offer solace and inspiration to all who encounter them. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

What Does She Know? Mixed Media Acrylic on Collage Paper Size: 10 x 8 Framed Size: 14 x 11 In bursts of spontaneity, my initial images are often be inspired by nature or figures. I love it when suddenly I “see” something suggested within the seemingly random marks. They surprise and delight me. My style is rhythmic, colorful and energetic. I am simultaneously inspired by the abstract expressionists and the precisionists – striving for balance in many ways with clean lines and quiet conversations. Painting is a Zen experience for me. Despite procrastinating on the front end, once I get started, I am energized by and lost in the process. I engage in a great deal of self-talk in color mixing and selection, mark making, and always, always tweaking. My nemesis is keeping my hands off a piece I’ve already deemed complete! Often the meaning behind the content emerges after it's done and subjected to contemplation. My titles strive to give a hint of what the piece represents for me yet leaves the viewer to wonder as well. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

The Care and Feeding of Birds Digital Drawing on iPad Size: 14 x 11 Gesture and the human condition are the impetus for my work. I look for images in the newspapers, magazines and ads to use as models. An interesting gesture or the interaction between two or more people stimulate my imagination. The painting or drawing has its own direction and is quite a departure from the initial inspiration. My choice of color is also a tool to direct the narrative of my work. It’s my intention to tell a story. The placement of objects and the facial expression and posture of my subjects are meant to nurture the tale. Often, I draw or paint from my imagination. The subjects or objects are invented. The possibilities for narrative are limitless. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Insert Lace Silverpoint and Washi on archival paper Size: 10 x 7 Since I work from real life and am fascinated by the details one can see in the natural world, silverpoint’s quiet voice lends itself to the intimate. Since erasure is virtually impossible in this medium, the subject tends to dictate what to draw and how… which means that there is a quiet dialogue between – say, a feather or a flower – and part of my brain as I develop the drawing. It becomes entirely intuitive, for better or for worse! But nonetheless these drawings allow a rewarding glimpse at the intricacies of nature. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Bolt Bronze Sculpture Size: 11 x 15 x 4 Living in Kentucky, where horses are the great charm of the countryside, I am inspired by their friendliness, curiosity, grace. and beauty. Quite often, while stopped in traffic along the road, the horses come to stand by the fence and commune with the drivers. One such horse, grabbed my fancy and, the next thing I knew, he began to appear in the slab of black Tennessee marble I was working. A few years later, I converted the stone sculpture into a bronze edition of 9. A much larger version of the horse resides in a private collection in Kentucky. Although not a typical, traditional horse sculptor, I love to capture the abstract essence of the horse.

New Year’s Day Oil on Board, Plein Air painting in PA Size: 8 x 10 Oil paints have a delicious, buttery consistency, have various translucencies, and painting makes me happily meditative. Juilliard and Columbia-trained in piano, the arts, and dentistry, I feel that fine art overlaps with great music. Both can evoke feelings of awe, serenity, and happiness. I want to share these emotions through annual piano concerts and my paintings. Transcendent music and art inspires me. I admire work of Inness, Constable, Turner, Tiffany and Parrish. Whether plein air painting or working indoors with an underpainting, I try to capture inner peace and joy through a vista with an atmosphere of this moment. I envision spreading inner joy to a world of viewers. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Universe Series - Saturn Siesta Serigraphy or silkscreen print Size of piece: 8 x 8 Size of piece framed: 15 x 15 Universe Series uses a variety of animals to represent life as they ponder the latest scientific theories concerning the Universe. These playful explorations look towards Space and at humankind's reaction to it. The three serigraphs I submitted for this exhibition are titled Saturn Siesta, Rabbit Hole, and Milky Way. Saturn Siesta invites us to think about what makes up the rings of Saturn while Rabbit Hole takes a look at the black hole that keeps our galaxy together. Milky Way asks us why we see heaven when we look up at the stars? Serigraphy. is a modern printmaking method with a very old history. Stencil-based, hand-made prints originated during the tenth century in China. They made their first appearance in Europe around the 18th century and are used throughout the world today. This mode of printmaking has evolved over time, so that Modern artists such as Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall, Pop artists such as Andy Warhol and Peter Max, and Contemporary artists such as Shepard Fairy and me, have found it an attractive medium for the creation of fine art. What makes serigraphy the perfect printmaking method for my art, is I can retain areas of pure white paper, capture the tonality of my drawings, and place blocks of intense color that either overlaps part of the image, or lightly kisses the edge of image. My serigraphs are all hand-made, small-edition prints, that use my graphite drawings as their basis, and are original works of art.

Tapestry in Cerulean Blue Mixed Media Acrylic Size: 14 x 11 I consider myself an abstract intuitive painter. Adding one layer at a time. I develop my style using color coordination and lines.and shapes. I also use geometric pieces, sometimes in the form of painted paper, to add form and dimension. My blank canvas begins without preconceived notions which allows my instincts and emotions to guide me. This intuitive style encourages me to use creative thinking and experimentation to expand the process. My imagination helps shape my unique artistic vision. This process results in one-of-a-kind pieces allowing the viewer to trust their instincts and letting their emotions guide their appreciation.

The scenic window of Huangshan (6) Mixed Media Ink on Canvas Size: 15 x 12 I'm an artist based in Los Angeles and Hong Kong. While my work is best described as abstract, I primarily draw inspiration from the Earth's beautiful natural resources as well as its landscapes. My choice of tools often involves working with ink and acrylic as both mediums flow graciously and lusciously, helping me achieve my vision. Additionally, coming from a jewelry background, which requires a great deal of imagination and creativity, I've been able to transfer those skills to my work as an artist. I have found it easier to visualize my painting's setting, placement, color tones, and orientation before my paintbrush hits the canvas. After spending years designing jewelry pieces, I've found myself increasingly drawn to sparkle and sophistication. As such, when I paint, I look for bold colors to emit feelings of passion, freedom, and positive energy. To me, it's most important to focus on formal color relationships and visual composition.

Koi Fish: Where's Dinner Pastel on Paper Size: 11 x 14 I am a modernist, realist, figurative painter, and I love to paint scenes from my travels and everyday life which tell a story. I take a subject which I find beautiful or interesting, and paint it in a way that allows the viewer to see it realistically for what it is, with a touch of mystery or style added to emphasize the other forces going on below the surface. With oils, I accomplish this by using an acrylic underpainting, which I allow to show through in places. In soft pastels, I use watercolor, inks, or alcohol washes for the underpainting. For example in “Three Wise Men”, I used a multicolored geometric pattern as an underpainting to give the viewer an added perspective. I love to paint my stories, and my goal is to have the viewer enter my world and share in my experiences. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Iris Deconstructed Watercolor Size: 11 x 8 Framed Size: 15 x 12 I love viewing natural objects as potential paintings.

My goal is to create soothing and captivating watercolor paintings that offer viewers a serene escape into the beauty of nature.

Oil All My Favorite Colors Size: 50 x 26 x 3 My submissions represent the most current work I have completed. The figurative series was intended to encompass all things about creation. The cubist quality happened rather organically while I was troubleshooting creative ways to represent parts of a figure, and the pieces that make up a whole being. These are only two examples, while some of the works not pictured are more irregular and varied shapes, rather than the hard-edged linear shapes seen here. The pallet varies as well but overall the works are a neutral with vibrant undertones. The contour lines will appear and subtly disappear. I enjoyed the thinking process behind the pieces as much as the actual creation of them. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Acrylic on Canvas Love and Beloved Size: 48 x 48 x 3 Birds began to appear in my work at the start of the Pandemic. The beginning of the bird fashionistas - little characters that emulate the personalities of the people around me: They are fun to make and are a constant reminder of what is important in my life. When someone asks me “What happened to you during the pandemic?” I think “Well, a lot,” but the constant reminder of life came from looking through the living room window, watching a cascade of different types of birds vying for their spot at the bird feeder. Over and over and over! So many hours spent on the sofa just watching them and being thankful for being alive. While sitting on that sofa I did draw a LOT in my journal book. I wrote about the places I’ve been to, the people I’ve been with, meanings of the icons and images I was incorporating in my work. When we all began to venture out of our houses, I was more mindful of the journaling process and drawing the “memories” of place. The images in the journal book are the genesis of this work.

Mixed Media Blues Bird Size: 28 x 26 These two paintings are part of a series of Blue Paintings I have done over the years. So this is not really a “Blue Period” a la Picasso, but a sustained interest in returning to blue over the years, from time to time. “Blue Girl” can be said to sustain one reading of the idea of blue, as in waking up with the blues, and going to bed that way too. “Blues Bird” refers to the idea of blue in its “blues music” musical context, which can include joy and vitality. “Blues Bird” also expresses my interest in texture and mixed media in my paintings, although I also think “Blue Girl” is also a painting that includes a sense of texture.

My floral entity is a metaphor for what it means to me to be female- the hidden beauty, the unfolding forms that are under my surface.

Acrylic on Canvas Sacre Sanguis Size: 36 x 12 x 0 Sacre Sanguis celebrates the unique feminine relationship to blood. In writing about the origins of life, Carl Sagan wrote “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our applies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.” The painting includes imagery of constellations and stars to reference that origin of all life on earth. Circles of tick marks suggest sunlight and the circle of life. Literal seeds –some dispersing--populate the canvas. Other dots and whorls reference the molecular basis for life. Lines of energy shoot across the canvas. And all float in the sea of sacred feminine blood, reminding us that women have significant literal, figurative, and spiritual power in the life of our entire planet.

Photoencaustic
Jules
Size: 24 x 18
Framed Size: 25 x 19
“Strong” and “Woman” These principles come together in Jules, my muse for a season. During this season of collaboration, Jules became an artist alongside me, using her body to share her story—our story as women—of resilience and choices made. For this piece, I chose monochrome to emphasize form and lines: her feminine jawline and curl given to her by nature combined with her powerful muscles developed by her choices. By combining the photograph with encaustic wax, I sought to combine the physicality of the wax and texture with the physicality of her presence and inner beauty.

Oil and Gold Leaf on Panel
Bittersweet
Size: 36 x 24
Framed Size: 36.5 x 24.5
The Bittersweet flower has been known to represent truth, persistence and resilience. The truth often being bittersweet. In this painting the woman holds the (flower of) truth and fights off the chaos in the world as represented by the geese with 'truth'. I feel truth is hard to come by and expensive today to verify, but is essential to shifting the balance of good/evil in the world towards good. Truth gives us strength and power even though it may be much smaller than the evil it fights. Geese for me represent chaos and are a local resident of my studio. I composed the image after the conception of the idea. The figure is an invention and is not a portrait of anyone in particular.

Acrylic on Wrapped Canvas
She's Odd But Nice
18 x 24
The past three years have been very difficult for me as I helped my daughter and a year later my son-in-law through chemo treatments for cancer. Both are in remission at this time. After this exhausting and emotionally trying time, I found myself a very different person. My painting felt inauthentic and forced as I tried to walk a path that was no longer me. I decided to develop a new path that was in line with the person I am now. I changed my painting methods by utilizing a painting wall rather than working flat. I now feel free to express myself in line and movement. My work became playful and meaningful again. My studio became my refuge again. This is who I am today, and it feels good again.

Oil on Canvas
Magic Carpet Ride
Size: 20 x 20
Framed Size: 21 x 21
As a woman artist, I have many layers - deep and contemplative, enthusiastic and free, humorous, enamored of color and shimmer, deeply caring, and marveling at life. This painting captures all of those feelings and more. As a child I loved the Arabian Nights, the exoticism of Asia, the stars in the heavens, and anything surrounding water. This pieces comes as close to anything I've done to describe my inner feminine life force.

I Start with Fabric and Make the Environment Sing

I am passionate about photography as an art form. In a world overfull with images, ideas, and messages streaming at us at warp speed, there is profound value in the thoughtfulness, the provocation, the silent aesthetic, the power of a single image made with the vision and ever evolving techniques of fine art photography.

Untitled II-May 25, 2022
Size: 12 x 16
Framed Size: 16 x 20
Taking into consideration the tragedy of the Uvalde shooting, and experiencing the grief and angst that this gun violence and senseless killing of children and others continues, I poured everything-all the emotions I had into several pieces. My work endeavors to take all the conflict, tragedy and transmute it into visual harmony, in essence; take heat and make light.

Acrylic on Illustration Board Period Room Size: 10.5 x 8.5 Framed Size: 13 x 11 While most of my paintings are of exteriors: street scenes, building facades and the like. I have recently expanded my repertoire to include interiors. Perhaps because of traditional gender roles, interiors always seem to lend themselves more readily to a feminine perspective than other subject matter. That holds for the dioramic recreation of an eighteenth-century Bordeaux hotel room with its curved walls, delicate molding, ornate chandelier, statuary, and drapery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is an intimate and romantic setting just waiting for two figures to appear. Alas one cannot enter; the doorway is cordoned off. However, the stagecraft that went into it can still be admired up close. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Floating on Hope
Size: 18 x 36
Framed Size: 19 x 37
I find calm and comfort in the shapes used Mid-century art, particularly by Calder in his mobiles. This is why I am drawn to the leave of the eucalyptus. After a long series of realist still-lifes of these beauties, I began to play with them in the abstract. Here they are floating on what I imagine are good feelings and hope.

Orange Landscape with a Mistake on the Left
Size: 18 x 18
Framed Size: 27 x 27
Cheryl Levin’s current minimal ink drawings on paper use repetition to bind herself to the creative process. Using dip pen or brush, each line she applies is akin to a sentence in a letter making paragraphs on a page; each drawn line follows the next creating a correspondence with her inner and outer self. Orange Landscape is part of multiple series of Levin's as part of her growth and transformation from major life changes thus her work is often viewed as landscapes of lives' journeys or life paths. The papers' edge and planned accidental "mistakes" become part of the fragile journey.

Framed Size: 32 x 24
“The Cairn”… The word cairn originated in Gaelic, meaning “mound of stones.” The Cairn's primary purpose for the Celts, Native Americans, and other bygone cultures was to mark an area as sacred ground. This drawing, "The Cairn", is part of a series exploring the impact of conflict on women in war zones today. The contour of these bodies suggests the shape of a Cairn.. Although emotionally crushed by what they and their loved ones have experienced, the embrace of these women also suggests stability, strength and resilience. While they console one another, they create a sacred space. As they work to heal, they forge path forward through the complicated landscape of their broken world.

Cyanotype and Watercolor on Paper
Shower of Gold Two
Size: 12 x 9
Framed Size: 16 x 12
My flower paintings embody the essence of the feminine spirit. They symbolize women's extraordinary resilience and adaptability in facing life's challenges. Each painting is a testament to their journeys of renewal, capacity to overcome adversity, and innate power to flourish. The golden accents highlight women's ability to shine brightly, even during dark times. Creating cyanotype paintings is part science and part intuition, and I'm never sure what I will get. I create cyanotypes using plants from my garden, light-sensitive chemicals, spices from my kitchen, and watercolor paints. I love the cyanotype process because the outcome is often a surprise due to the sun's variability, exposure length, chemical composition, and time of day. I finish each painting by using watercolors to modify and strengthen the composition to my liking.

The Muse
Size: 12 x 9
Framed Size: 15 x 12
“The Muse” represents a very traditional feminine perspective, one that inspires men, in this case, a particular man, “The Artist”. While The Artist was demonstrating his technique to my class, I became intrigued by his muse. I could not take my eyes off her, wondering what it must be like to be the subject and object of art, passively providing the source of creation, over and over again. Of course, as much as she seemed like an anomaly to me, I too was drawn into her inspiring web. Most compelling of all, I wondered “what was she thinking?”. She must have learned so much about painting over the years, posing while The Artist worked. I’d love to paint the Muse again, this time with a paintbrush in her hand, herself, The Artist.

Size: 19 x 15 x 0
"Peace Be Still" draws from Jesus's calming of the storm, visualizing inner serenity amidst life's turbulence.

Mixed Media Trichaptum Fungi (Trichaptum abietinum) 40 x 30 in. My work reflects my close observation of nature. I attempt to capture its endless fluctuations: shifting light, variegated colors, constant movement, evolving forms, evidence of resident fauna. Working abstractly, yet botanically accurately, I surprise viewers with unusual views revealing the complex design inherent in often unnoticed life. By sharing the beauty of humble local ecosystems, I hope to induce viewers to look deeply. I am exquisitely aware that, though nature is our collective home, human activity has caused irreparable losses of habitat, resource, and species. My work, thus, aims to respond to ecologists’ call for native ecosystem rediscovery and restoration.

Painting She, Bright as Yellow 16 x 16 x 2 in. 'She, Bright as Yellow' moved me to paint. From corsets, panty hose, Skims and Spanx we are so often asked to constrict, to make smaller. Working from my series of underwater works titled ‘Coming Up For Air”, the painting included in this submission reflect on the notion of breath; fighting for and finding the space to breathe in. My work is a joyful reclamation. Through provocation, humor, and strength, I examine equality and personal truths through a contemporary figurative lens. I explore the complex ways we all navigate in the spaces that surround us, and how I hope my work emboldens women to take up space.

Painting Will You Catch Me? 16 x 16 x 2 in. This piece- Will You Catch Me? - was part of a body of work inspired by 'play'- in the way that many artists, such as myself, utilize playfulness to get into the process of art making. With this piece, my process started with mark making, collage. painting, removing, drawing into, printmaking, until ideas began to emerge - a fantasy under and over water perhaps (?) since I am surrounded by quarries and ocean. Eventually a theme around risk-taking (with or without a net) began to surface. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mixed Media Red Skirt 12 x 18 x 1 in. Movement, ecstasy, yearning-all are revealed in the dance! Fascinated, I find the dancer-art leading me to look at my creativity with new eyes. As a photographer, I start each piece with a camera, portraying an impressionist view of the dance. In this piece, I noticed details of her hand and her flaring skirt. I print and embed the image in encaustic wax, then listen to it tell its tale. As I spend time with it, I add encaustic wax to build layers, also using other media. This tactile approach connects me deeply to the work. This body of work has challenged me to grow as an artist and human.

Painting Yellow Door 20 x 16 in. Vibrant Colors and Rich textures are a signature of my works. My paintings are always a process. I work intuitively as the image evolves. Varied layers of glazing give lushness and depth, while the addition of mediums helps to create the textures that emerge in the final image. I work pushing and pulling shapes, surfaces, and colors, until I am excited with the uniqueness of each piece. Yellow Door was inspired by the many homes we passed on the waterway while my husband, cocker spaniel and I cruised the great American Loop through the Eastern United States and Canada.

Painting Tidal 40 x 40 in. The artwork *Tidal* draws its inspiration from the natural beauty of New England's seacoast, particularly the captivating interplay of land, water, and sky. As a colorist, I interpret this environment through bold, expressive use of color, conveying not just what I see, but the emotional resonance these landscapes evoke. The fluidity of the acrylic, oil pastel, and watercolor on unprimed canvas allows for spontaneous movement and layering, capturing the ebb and flow of tidal rhythms. This piece blends abstraction with the organic forms of the seacoast, reflecting my deep connection to the region and its ever-changing nature.

Sculpture Grasping for Air 18 x 24 x 2 in. I am attracted to both the flow of fabric and the elements of construction that transform an unstructured surface into a sculptured form that fits a human body. Seams, edgings, buttons, zippers and all the other ways that cloth becomes clothing find their way into my current body of work. Like an abstract painting, my work emerges from a process of deconstructing and then reassembling the fractured elements from my collection of discarded clothing. I hand stitch the garment fragments into a low relief sculpture, then solidify the surface by applying multiple layers of canvas priming gesso. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mixed Media Siren Song I 20 x 11 x 2 in. "Siren Song" is a mixed media painting that dives into the ocean's contrasting nature. The textural richness of the impasto technique reflects the power and movement of the ocean, while the abstraction evokes the mystery and allure that has captivated humanity for centuries. The painting hints at the ocean's violence and tranquility. The title, "Siren Song," reflects the ocean's seductive danger, luring viewers in with its beauty just as the mythical sirens did. The impasto technique itself, with its thick application of paint, draws the viewer in, inviting them to explore the textural depths of the artwork, much like the ocean beckons us to delve deeper.

Painting Healthy Skeptic 18 x 18 x 1 in. When I start a new portrait, I work to establish a faithful depiction of my subject first, through careful sketching and underpainting, paying close attention to the underlying bone structure, musculature and proportion. Then, with my choices of color, texture, brushwork, and some intuition, I try to go beyond, to capture a sense of the subject’s inner self as well. A finished painting conveys a likeness, but hopefully also a presence; when you look at it, you might feel it is looking back at you.

Painting Tangled Up in Blue 20 x 20 x 1.5 in. I have a deep connection to the natural world that I see through the eyes of an artist. My paintings capture a moment or memory of wonder, joy, and beauty, something special that caught my eye. Paintings are inspired by the diverse colors of light, atmosphere, and nature in the coastal landscape where I live. I look for what is unique to convey a sense of place. Although often evoked by a fleeting moment, I translate in paint to transcend time. Brushstrokes over glimpses of color intentionally reveal some of the painting process.

Photography Mom 20 x 24 in. My portrait series, Soul Portraits, is an exploration of personal discovery and creative expression. I invite people to come to our session with an idea, experience or question they wish to explore and together we collaborate to portray their story photographically. The portraits can be representational, symbolic or metaphorical in nature, and can be a single image or series. This image is from a body of work in which my mom reveals her profound struggles with aging and her love/hate relationship with life itself.

Mixed Media Divine Dive Into Consciousness 11.75 x 11.75 in. This piece captures the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. The figure, falling back into tall grass, embodies the beauty found within us all, inviting a sense of connection to the world around us.

Painting Still Life with a Chocolate Bar 16 x 20 x 1 in. My goal for some years now have been to work with only two or three colors and their variations in a painting in order to achieve the full sound of these colors. This is a relatively new task for me, it’s captivating to work on it. In Still Life with a Chocolate Bar the contrast main colors : black, silver, orange - red , the combination of empty shiny silvery and black vessels on an orange and brick - red background are supposed to evoke certain associations and mood. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Morning Stretch 18 x 12 x in. I’m in love with the line. The language of line, delivered with a crashing landing on a page or the gentlest calligraphic curve, or a collection of marks, exudes a power and a sense of storytelling that is beautiful to me. It transcends the verbal communication. Drawing the human figure in line, connects me to my models and the stories that they tell through their poses. It is a collaboration- the model, the artist, the line. Line educates me, supports me, and excites me. It is the vehicle that tells my stories.

Painting 12 x 12 x 1.5 in. One never knows for sure where one is going or if one has even arrived! The creative process is elusive and fascinating. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Painting 32 x 25 in. Usually, one idea follows another. I have several themes that I go between, but I find, each seems to dovetail into the other to eventually build a cohesive collection. This is not planned, and I speak retrospectively. Also, the palette seems to be consistent. Maybe this is true as a result of years of work. Nonetheless, there seems to be so much more to do and so many ideas not yet realized. I suppose it's never ending. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mixed Media Painting 36 x 24 x 1 in. Explanation for Secrets among Blossoms- Life is a canvas splashed with unexpected twists.

The outward beauty may enchant the eye, yet beneath the surface lie veiled wounds and hidden mysteries. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
-
Mixed Media Painting 16 x 16 x 1 in. Figures and vessels have similarities and intuitively tend to appear abstractly and subtly in sketches and paintings. The basis of "Then There Were Five" is a mix of intuitive movement countered with the mindful placement of marks and shapes. My daily habit of drawing creates a starting point, which lends to primarily drawing with paint using a neutral and serene palette. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
-
Sculpture 16 x 18 in. I call my recent series of wall relief sculptures “Vagina Masks.” I wrap, tie, and bind recycled materials and everyday objects found in my home (such as wire hangers, plastic trash bags, yarn, paper clips, etc.) to create this body of work. This series explore themes of sexual abuse, body dysmorphia, societal pressure to be perfect and forever young, and changes that occur in our minds and bodies as we age. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
-
Works on Paper 20 x 16 x .50 in. My art is inspired by the 19th-century Fontainebleau painters and their up-close sous-bois perspective. I focus on the intricate details of natural textures, colors, and diverse life in the undergrowth of Florida's native trees. My contemporary up-close viewpoint is rooted in exploring light and shadow within monotype prints, plaster sculptures, and paintings. Layers of additive and reductive color are carved with mark-making tools to create textures that vibrate between contemporary, impressionism, and abstractionism, forming an interdependent relationship with the past and present. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Digital Photograph 13 x 20 in. As I walked in the fog, this lonely and worn building emerged from the misty greenery. I took out my camera and telephoto lens and captured the solitude of this shed. I wondered about its history and the stories it could tell. The architecture, though simple, had a charm and elegance in its design. The builder had a sense of detail, proportion and functionality. The structure was modest but orderly, with a clear path leading to the door. Would you like to enter?

Mixed Media Painting 20 x 20 x 1.5 in. This painting is part of the "Universal Us" series based on the notion that science and reason reveal that we are truly one with the universe. All physical things derive from the same elemental building blocks, making us ... all the same. This series depicts diverse beings (some from the imagination), traveling through time, space or our minds and joining together in harmony. In this painting, a Gong Fu figure formed by genetic coding, a tree like plant, and a landscape from another world, are separately and jointly ruled over by a symbolic law of gravity. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Works on Paper 36 x 36 in. This piece, Windblown, is part of a series called Transitions. When I started this series I was touched by the lament of “women of a certain age”, feeling that they were invisible, overlooked, and insignificant. This series is my attempt to visually capture this time in a woman’s life as an ending as well as a new beginning as the sunflower emits its seeds and begins again. The subject of this work is an aged, dried sunflower. I used Chinese ink to explore the transient nature of life and the strength of that transience. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
-
Painting 14 x 11 in. This piece was inspired by a visit to the American College of Building Arts in Charleston, South Carolina.. Michaelangelo himself would have been right at home in the sculpture studio of this academy, I think what appealed to me about this piece, aside from its classical grace, was its status as a work in process, a timeless moment on the way to becoming a finished statue. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
-
Works on Paper 24 x 18 in. Since the pandemic, I have been incorporating masks and braille in monotypes to explore how we hide or reveal ourselves. This series, “Who Sees?”, explores the use of veils, masks, head coverings, face coverings in different cultures. How do we perceive women when they are veiled or masked? Are they disempowered or empowered? Do the masks/veils offer freedom or protection or bondage? The images that I create are multilayered, pushing us to delve deeper into this subject. “Who Sees” simultaneously draws you in and pushes you away. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Her unpaid work hours, many of which are spent volunteering within her church community, are represented by lighter disks with holes reminiscent of tracery. Hours not spent working are spaces on the chain. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

B/W silver photograph on fiber with inks 9.5 x 9.5 in. w/frame 16.5 x 16.5 in. While enjoying some street photography on Ninenzaka Walkway, Kyoto, Japan, a lovely, young woman in full Geisha regalia ran past me at the speed of light. With no time to prepare, I instinctively snapped a photo. Then, as if an apparition, she was gone. Later, I found her facial expression curious. Contemplative? Reflective? Amused?

It has a silk-wrapped matt inner frame bordered by a mahogany liner frame, and a mahogany-toned wooden outer frame.

Unique Platinum/palladium photograph 5 x 7 in. w/frame 11 x 14 in. In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in everyday life, the commonplace or ordinary scenes in the environment. These images offer us rare moments of solitude, time to slow down and observe the world around us, and to enjoy quiet beauty and serenity. A photograph captures a portion of this beauty and tranquility, offering viewers quiet moments of reflection. Some of my favorite places to photograph are close to home, along city streets and nature trails. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in, providing an opportunity to examine nature and the built environment. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. A strong sense of design is also important in these images. I use the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the images. The platinum/palladium process, a time- honored process, also renders a rich tonal scale and permanence to the images. It is a time-intensive, hand- made process—from coating the paper with varying mixtures of the platinum/palladium solution to exposing the negatives to sunlight and contact printing the image. Each platinum/palladium print is a unique, vintage quality print. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

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. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
