  • Acrylic on Canvas Hope Springs 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.

  • Oil Curtsey and Carry On 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.

  • Chinese Magnolia Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 30 x 30 x 1.5 While working on my first portrait series of Latino Youth with a Black Bird, I learned a lot about ravens and crows.

  • But He Died Collage and acrylic on panel Size of Piece: 24 x 24 x 1.5 Inspired by the beautiful rolling foothills in Umbria, Italy, this piece captures the energy and heat of summer in this area. My work comes in bursts of spontaneity—bold, colorful, and full of energy—yet created in a state of complete calm. I'm delighted when the unexpected emerges. Those surprises excite me and guide the pieces to their final forms. I’m inspired by both the wild freedom of the abstract expressionists and the sharp clarity of the precisionists, always searching for a balance between the two. Every piece is an adventure, a conversation between instinct and intention, a process that is intuitive, driven by curiosity, and open to the unexpected.

  • Hava Mixed Media on Paper Size of Piece: 24 x 18 x .05 As women, we are not simple. We are complex, exquisite beings that hold more potential than ever recognized. For thousands of years, across regions, for the sake of safety, we hid our true nature to accommodate those with made-up power. Now, we are leaping out of our assigned frames and are claiming our own narrative. Equality is a basic human right, a fundamental pillar in establishing a peaceful and prosperous world. While progress happens, there is still a great deal left to do. Girls and women continue to face significant challenges all around the world. Historically, though, women are described as goddesses, spirits, mythical beings from fairytales and scriptures - we are holy and dangerous. We are everything man desires and everything he fears, his source of life and his terror at the thought of death, of loss. All these contradictions stir many questions and emotions, but we learn to find the balance in life.

  • Outlook Santorini Acrylic on Canvas Size of Piece: 30 x 40 x 1.5 Painting is a meditative journey for me, a way to process loss and transform grief into something vibrant and full of hope. After my brother passed away, I felt an urgent need to create—not just for the sake of making art, but as a way to heal. Through bold colors and expressive brushstrokes, I seek to uplift both myself and those who experience my work, showing that even in darkness, beauty and joy can emerge. In paintings like Outlook Santorini, New Day, and Flower Fields, I abstract natural landscapes to capture their essence and emotion. Outlook Santorini reflects the island’s peaceful vistas, translating its tranquility into layers of color and movement. New Day speaks to renewal and optimism, its light-filled hues evoking the fresh start that comes with dawn. Flower Fields is a celebration of nature’s energy, bursting with expressive colors that mirror the vitality of a landscape in bloom.

  • Secrets Among Blossoms Acrylics and Watercolor on Aqua-board Size of Piece: 36 x 24 x 1.5 Secrets among Blossoms- Life is a canvas splashed with unexpected twists. Those who master the art of embracing uncertainty and forging ahead are the ones who truly survive. Each heart is a wondrous chest, overflowing with secrets. The outward beauty may enchant the eye, yet beneath the surface lie veiled wounds and hidden mysteries. Frozen Blooms- is about the quiet toll of life’s hardships. The woman holds a bouquet of flowers—symbols of beauty and hope—but she doesn’t seem to feel their warmth. Her gaze is distant, her expression unreadable, as if the struggles she’s faced have left her numb. The deep purple tones wrap around her like a lingering sadness, while the bright yellow background reminds us that life’s warmth still exists, even when it feels out of reach. This painting speaks to those moments when we carry beauty in our hands but feel unable to embrace it, when the weight of our past makes it hard to see the light ahead.

  • Shahnameh Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 36 x 48 The painting is inspired by childhood memories. Somehow, translations of Persian texts of Ferdowsi's poems Shahnameh penetrated into Siberia behind the Iron Curtain.

  • Crayola Photography, Digital Size of Piece: 18 x 12 x .000032

    Years of experience in the profession of architecture and interior design inspire me to photograph buildings. I have a particular passion for weathered structurers; with colorful ones adding extra charm. The Caribbean is one of my favorite places to fulfill my vision. ‘Crayola’ and ‘George Street’ can be found in Nassau where there is a plethora of colonial English architecture infused with a vibrant tropical color palette. I pack my Nikon and wander the streets searching for potential subjects with sharp lines, high contrast and aim for compositions of colorful saturated blocks of adjacent solid planes.

  • Night of the Soul Collagraph Print Size of Piece: 5 x 7

    This piece captures the chaos of the night. A collagraph, like many printing techniques, reveals itself to you as it comes off the press, much like the night magically turns into day. The interplay of lights and darks describe my nights of short bursts of sleep contrasted with wakefulness. There's a dreamy yet also unsettling aspect to the piece.

    It was created with a substrate of cardboard, inks that were applied and wiped away, printed in pieces. The line work adds to its mystery.

  • Contemplation Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 20 x 16

    I was inspired by the contrast of the model against the light background, and the shadows that were created by the light source. My creative process was to establish the lights and darks. These are the vehicles to determine the correct values, I aimed to capture the confident, contemplative expression of the model.

  • Girl with Curlers Pencil and Pastel, Pencil on Paper Size of Piece: 10 x 8

    “Girl with Curlers” is a portrait of my younger sister.  I was inspired when I saw her wearing her curlers in front of a window, the light from which bathed her hair and face in a soft glow.  I used an HB pencil, along with white, brown, and red pastel pencils on cream-colored paper to create a soft, minimalistic color scheme and used value to capture the interplay between the softness of her face and pajamas and the darker geometric mass of her hair in large curlers.

  • Angst and Toys Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 20

    The  values and colors in painting Angst and Toys are used to create a certain  mood, atmosphere.  Intense variations of  Blue are supposed to provoke mysterious and dramatic feeling. The light coming from a light house and an invisible source of light from the right  create red reflections on mothers;s and child's  faces, warm coats and gloves.. The combination of colors and their values in this painting speak of an emotional memory where reality and imagination are tightly interwoven.

  • Acrylics on Mylar Size of Piece: 20 x 16 x 1.25 As artists, we spend many hours in our studios. We are familiar with the concept of isolation. But at the same time, we also fuel our creativity in our outings away from the studio and by experiencing life and our surroundings to the fullest. This artwork was created in the middle of the pandemic...My heart was pounding hard, ready to explode with the necessity to express. I was ready to tell the world that I was alive and full of energy, love, plans and so much to do and say... I was bursting with creativity! And that is how this series called “Catharsis” started…

  • Reading by the Seashore Acrylic/Canvas Size of Piece: 16 x 20

    Girl by the Seashore was painted from imagination,  another way I work.  Sometimes, I paint from imagination directly, with maybe only a thought to where the work will go, but more often, and here, the composition is derived from a pencil drawing, originally from imagination I which made quite a few years ago and still love.  I draw a lot.  Here, I worked to get the light the way I wanted it.

  • Balloon Girl Among the Clouds Digital Collage on Paper Size of Piece: 8 x 8

    My creative process is very intuitive. An image presents itself to me with a certain resonance and calls upon other images or fragments of images to join it to form something quite different. It's alchemical--a visual amalgam--images attracting other fragments gestating into a new--perhaps unexpected--whole. It is like bird watching or even like catching butterflies in a net.

  • Resting Rainbow Mixed Media Size of Piece: 28 x 32

    Light the force that breathes life and vibration into color. The essence of existence.  The stunning way we reflect all things in each others light. How we learn. How we dance. How we love… and begin again

  • Relax Shack Digital Archival Photograph Sublimated to Aluminum Size of Piece: 16 x 20

    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.

  • Beach No.5 Silkscreen on Paper Size of Piece: 15 x 22

    My work investigates resemblance of particular surroundings in connection with site specific placement. What interests me is the interconnection with the landscape and the viewer themselves, impression of their own identity, and peculiar memories in the specific surrounding.

    In this particular print series, I worked with the beach scapes of the unforgettable Cape Cod area, often working on location while preparing first drawings and color sketches. By combining layered imagery, working with a dramatic contrast and values, along with the innovative methods of digital print and halftone, I was able to investigate the ability to recall certain memories, good and bad that often stopped a viewer in their tracks, and let them escape to the unknown while at the ocean side.

  • Rebirth Transfer Film Print of Digital Collage on Paper Size of Piece: 8 x 12 x 1

    I am inspired by the ability of flowers to bring joy even in the darkest of times. In this piece, the contrast in value between the dark background and the light flowers reflects the flowers’ emotional push against darkness which is further emphasized by the subtle gradations in value surrounding the flowers. The value contrasts in the image are further enhanced by the strong color contrasts.

    I began the image by drawing flowers in a garden and adding color with pencil and paint. I modified the value, color, forms and composition of the result to create a digital collage in Photoshop. The final image is a digital transfer of the collage to arches 88 paper using transfer film and transfer solution.

  • William, La Jolla
    Acrylic
    Size of Piece: 20 x 16 x 1.25 The joy on my son's face as he posed in his "habitat" along the Pacific Coast near where he works in La Jolla, CA, inspired me to do a rare return to figurative work. I surprised him with this painting as a loving house-warming gift last Fall after he moved into his new apartment in Little Italy.

  • Koi Pond study
    oil on board
    Size of Piece: 14 x 11 I’m always inspired by natural settings and the pond was so lovely with its lilies that the search for the koi was besides the point. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Free Floating
    digital photo
    Size of Piece: 22 x 18 x 1 I often look for reflections in store windows. Usually I shoot directly into the window and see what is reflected behind me. However, in this case, I went inside the store and shot directly at an interesting display. The central image reminded me of a giant acorn lit from within, but the bottom of the skirts reminded me of a hot air balloon ride recently taken.

  • Harbinger
    photograph
    Size of Piece: 8 x 8 x 1 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. What do you think this bird represents? We have the technology to immediately capture whatever is in front of us. The challenge is for people to slow down; to question whether there is only one way to look at something; and to search for new meaning in something they may have seen before.

  • Watching Spring
    acrylic and oil on canvas
    Size of Piece: 48 x 48 x 1.5 My recent paintings contain root-like veins, dendritic patterns - sacred design, a blueprint common to all things that grow and reach, found in the body as arching blood vessels, in leaves, trees, and forests. This shape is a rhythm; we recognize it from our memory. Rooted in nature's universal language, my paintings pulse with vibrant energy through dynamic brushwork and layered textures, capturing the fluidity of water, foliage, and fleeting landscape elements. Through expressive spontaneity and thoughtful composition, my work celebrates life's wild rhythm, transforming symbolic forms into metaphors of our shared human experience. I permit to use of my artwork on SM. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Stonefaced
    oil on board
    Size of Piece: 16 x 12 x .5 This painting describes the extraordinary, reflective phase of my life and work. What began as a watercolor study of a limestone cliff developed into a painting that reveals an awareness of, and gratitude for, those who came before me. They were immersed in Welsh culture, so influenced by dark landscapes and skies. I have always seen faces in clouds and rocks but this time they spoke as my artistic ancestors, stubborn, wise, musical, poetic. But that was my past. My present is American, and my future is unknown, but this is an homage to endurance. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Mandala for a New World
    colored pencil on paper
    Size of Piece: 13 x 13 Inspired by Mandalas. First encountered in China in 1995 while a delegate at the 4th World Conference for Women. My fascination with them brought introspection and a need to create a new world mandala to explore our current political situation. The process is meditative, allowing me to play creatively with humor and pathos. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Empowered Elderhood
    mixed media fiber
    Size of Piece: 34 x 32 This self-portrait honors the threshold between visibility and inner knowing. Wearing a towering crone headdress made from a vintage quilt and stitched wallpaper, I embody the elder archetype, rooted in lineage, softened by time, and adorned with wisdom. Two birds represent dual aspects of the self: one that carries memory, and one that flies forward. Flowers bloom, stitched in quiet rebellion against erasure. Each textile layer is a fragment of inherited story; worn, patched, cherished, and transformed into sacred regalia through collage and thread. Each element, stitch, scrap, and thread, honors the beauty and burden of experience. It's a claiming of space. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Roses in the Studio
    egg-tempera on prepared board
    Size of Piece: 12 x 12 x 0.25 Roses in the Studio is a visual tribute to prosperity and creative freshness. This small, but fragrant bouquet juxtaposed against the backdrop of my non-objective painting "Summer Vibes” symbolizes the unity of realistic and abstract expression. The ancient and laborious choice of media, the egg-tempera, is my new fascination both in technical challenges and stylistic nuances. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • State of Being
    acrylic on panel
    Size of Piece: 20 x 20 My focus while creating 'State of Being' was on the processes of layering paint and orienting shapes so that they landed balanced and in right relationship. I used an abundance of glaze, and my main tools were a credit card and palette knife, and bowl scraper. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Petroglyph Figures
    acrylic
    Size of Piece: 21 x 27 x 1 Ancient peoples and their activities fascinate me. Using natural elements to record important events in their lives, they carved their stories onto beautiful rock faces, the canvases of the ancients. These hillside Hawaiian petroglyph figures inspired me to paint the rock formations and the dynamic figures, capturing the greys of the stones and the darkness of the stained figures. I try and guess what the stories are telling us. Were they actual events, dreams of things past, or dreams of things to come? Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Spread the Love
    acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
    Size of Piece: 18 x 18 x 1.5 There is never enough love going around. I wanted to emphasize the need to spread the love in this world. This is a series of 3 paintings that can be hung vertically or horizontally, or each as a standalone. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Conflagration
    mixed media, watercolor, acrylic
    Size of Piece: 9 x 12 "Conflagration" captures a moment of overwhelming force and profound transformation. Through a turbulent interplay of dark and fiery hues, the painting evokes the raw, chaotic energy of immense destruction, reminiscent of pivotal historical events that forever alter our world. It speaks to the flashpoints where power unleashes devastation, leaving indelible marks on landscapes and collective memory. This work is a visceral reminder of what must "Never Be Forgotten," urging reflection on the consequences of such intensity and the enduring echoes of a past that continues to shape our present. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Whale Bones, #53
    watercolor
    Size of Piece: 26 x 26 I have been working on a series of whale bones ever since I visited an abandoned whaling station in Antarctica in 1998. Recently, I had the opportunity to spend a week as an artist resident and work with the Nantucket Whaling Museum. This was one of the new pieces I completed during this time. Whale bones are large and overwhelming and show the majesty of the animal that once lived in them. I hope to honor those whales that are gone with this series. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Assessing II
    oil on panel
    Size of Piece: 24 x 20 In portraying individuals at different ages and life stages I also engage themes of temporal change, individual vulnerability and human mortality. This child’s gaze was arresting; at once exploring, engaging and assessing. This drawing is another in a series of portraits that marvel at the magic of the moment and honor the purest of encounters with the 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. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • After He Left
    acrylic on canvas
    Size of Piece: 36 x 48 In 2024 I became inspired to paint large. I set up my 1930's old wooden garage to be a summer studio, where I could make as much of a mess as necessary and not be too precious about my strokes. The results are bold expressions of my body movement and my psyche. I respond emotionally to each stroke, shape and color and that connection leads me to the next step. This painting has been painted over many times. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • I Danced in the Morning
    acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
    Size of Piece: 49 x 49 x 2 My new series is focusing on movement and how I sometimes feel as if I am dancing across the canvas as I paint. I have never been a good dancer, but I enjoy movement and appreciate the difficulty of the art form. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Zoo Series - Farm
    hand-made small edition serigraph
    Size of Piece: 14 x 14 After graduating from Art school I found I wanted to create work that had meaning to me not just what was the current trend in Art, or what someone else thought Art should be. So I began by creating a series of circle of life drawings that communicated the interconnectedness of life. Using one of these drawings, I created a serigraph, or more commonly known as silkscreen print. I adjust the drawing in photoshop to create a bitmap transparency. The transparency is placed under an emulsion coated screen that is developed so the image makes up the open parts on the screen. Ink is pushed through onto paper. Multiple screens or direct application is used for additional colors. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
