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.

Acrylic 12 x 12" Painting is something I returned to in the last few years after a 4 decade detour into show business. Painting challenges, overwhelms and inspires, coaxing me to connect and explore the conscious and subconscious worlds of fear, curiosities and stillness where words are difficult, translating my inner life to a visual one on canvas.

Oil 14 x 11 in. The series that includes “Perfect Light” examines the nature of adolescence as a transitional state, delving into the often mysterious spaces within relationships. These are not simply figure paintings. While the paint surface is luminous and detailed, opacity also comes into play. What is more opaque than adolescence? We look deeply into these images full of secrecy, vulnerability and defiance, see their awkwardness - and revisit our own memories filtered through the lens of adolescence.

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.

graphite, watercolor, charcoal, & white ink 15 x 15 x 1.5" In the last three years, preoccupation with the covid virus made every decision more urgent and uncertain. Isolation and extreme personal loss made the Covid Series necessary. Some testimony of the physical and emotional barriers, as well as the confusion, and strange hope of these days seemed important to commit to paper. Each work in this series shows contemplative aspects of these personally difficult years for me, but sadly many other people may connect with these experiences also.

photography 22 x 18 x 1" This photo brought home to me the importance of timing. While sitting outdoors near Madison Square, I glanced up to spot the MetLife Building casting a perfect shadow of itself on a nearby office building. Minutes earlier, or later, the sun would have shifted and the shadow would have changed. An unexpected find captured at that perfect moment!

Tic Tac Tow Acrylic, ink on mini canvases & frame under glass Size of Piece: 8 x 8 Size of Piece Framed: 9 x 9 I tell stories with explosive color! The Games Series comprised of 12 small works under glass is a a nostalgic tale which began with Checquers and Tic Tac Tow. Bowling a ling, Scrabble Soup, Sushi Pool and many, followed. Painting doodling and combining various materials on tiny canvases and other surfaces produced infinite creative possibilities. Incorporating the technique of the women of Ularu, Australia, the Pointalists, Fauvists and 20th century Pop, I recreated many of these iconic games as dimensional, intricate, and colorful, stories. Join me and the Games in a trip down memory lane. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Oil 12 x 8" Skies offer the challenge of describing infinitely variable light, color expression and forms that appear three dimensional but also porous, translucent or reflective. My skies series, dependent on one moment’s light, are also about temporality in nature and our lives; the ongoing metamorphosis witnessed in the clouds that mimics the unstoppable sea of change we ride in life. I find every attribute from fearsome power, stunning beauty to quiet sublimity reflected across the sky. I hope to evoke the metaphorical display of life’s fragility, to give testament to life’s volatility and emotional range, and to celebrate elusive earthly moments when condensation and weather create something so humanly resonate.

oil on panel 17 x 25" Portraits afford an opportunity to paint light and compelling form, as well as explore wide-ranging emotive qualities.. Each work is about what the face portrays, In painting individuals at different ages and life stages I am also engaging themes of temporal change, individual vulnerability and human mortality. Moments of strength, decency, calm or vulnerability; traces of pain, self protection, openness, or glimmers of hopefulness, pride and earnestness are lurking in these faces. I am engaging with the enigmatic. The difficult and satisfying challenge in my portraiture is to portray some truth and in so doing to suggest our complex humanity and shared experience.

monotype on paper (one of a kind) 28 x 24" My monotypes, like a freeze-frame, capture a moment in time. I have been making monotypes since 1979. My monotypes are essentially printed paintings, each one a one-of-a-kind piece. I use a very time-consuming method of working in layers on zinc plates with oil pastels, oil paints, lithographic crayons and hand-cut stencils, often using the ghost image left on a plate or a paint-laden stencil to launch a series. The painted plate is then heated and printed on Arches Cover or Rives BFK on an etching press. I have led numerous workshops and lectured at colleges and art centers on this remarkable medium.

oil painting on linen 48 x 75 x 2" I am a visual storyteller, a painter of women, the sea, mysterious encounters and uncommon places. In all of my work, women are the dominant elements. My goal is not to idealize them in any way, but to portray each woman’s individuality, her power, her connection to other women and to the world. Birds, especially seabirds, have long been choreographed into my work, sometimes as companions, other times as avatars of change, growth, or escape. There is a dreamlike aspect to my paintings, a surreal confluence of elements that feels very real. In my larger work, my viewpoint is often just outside the picture plane – one more step and you feel as if you can enter the narrative of the painting.

Oil 14 x 11"I make paintings of women, the sea, mysterious encounters, and uncommon places. “On the Edge of the World” is from my ongoing series portraying young girls coming of age. We look deeply into these faces and bodies and revisit our own memories filtered through the lens of childhood and adolescence. My subjects are often on the cusp of change. They are contemplating their futures, preparing their imaginations - and their lives - to take flight. Within these girls lies the power to achieve their dreams.

oil on panel 16 x 16 x 1.5" "Soliloquy" is the 5th in a series of 16" square paintings using the coastal Pacific province of Guanacaste as its setting. Mounded isles covered in hairy, gnarly trees dot the coastline. The sky is loosely based on a photograph I took sailing into the sunset. I often reference birds in my work, and in this piece I painted flying flamingos. The flamboyance of the flamingos is echoed in the costume of the figure in the foreground. The patterns and history of harlequin costumes suit my tattooed model and this exotic landscape to a "T".

silicone, rainwater, & acrylic paints onto an indigo background 60 x 48 x 2" While exhibiting my paintings in Italy in 2018, I traveled by car to Reggio, Calabria, the home of my grandparents. I visited many museums along the way, and discovered that mermaids were prevalent in Italian lore and art. They reminded me of the Celtic selkies, and the Native American myth of Sedna. I instilled the wonder, joy, and hope I absorbed from their stories into She Harbors the Sea.

acrylic 20 x 16" Bold hydrangeas always attract my attention. For this painting, I was inspired by dappled late afternoon sunlight falling among hydrangea blooms. Warm colors capture the fleeting late summer sun. Already a few leaves gather at the base of the steps, suggesting the change of seasons. The iconic green striped awnings and door hark back many decades, adding a sense of timelessness to this cottage near Alexandria Bay, New York. On a whim, I added a single hydrangea peeking from the window on the left to balance the composition and suggest the owner's touch.

Into the Blue Nightscape Mixed Pastel/ Acrylics, Pencil Size of Piece: 9.75 x 6.5 I set a challenge for myself –my foray into COLOR language. Explore its symbolic memory-stories told with color/texture/value. Paint–THEN read the story. A HAZY landscape- going in or leaving all behind? Dawn or dusk? A middle vertical space parting- a door to a Soft Blue life beyond? Anchored by a bold horizontal Yellow (a barrier to overcome?) A Blue and Yellow contradiction ! Below- Airy Blue-Green path detouring to the right. Above- hovering Blue/Magenta- weighting on our will to move forward? The Thrill of Blue-Blue Shadows-Sacred Blue- Blue Gods Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

oil on canvas 18 x 24 x 1" Although the viewpoint of this painting is at a slightly elevated angle, the title alludes to the need to consider the landscape from above, looking straight down. These are eyes that look at the human viewer askew but look up at the heavens with no distortion.

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.

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.

inked plexi plates, printed on rives bfk paper 23 x 24 x 24" As I approached working away from my studio during the Covid 19 'stay at home' order, I worked small, using material that I had at hand, including family debris monoprints, created by layering inked printing plates with my family's ephemeral & permanent cast offs, a record of the mundane and obsolete. After completing a large series of small ‘art in isolation’ mixed media prints, I went 3d, using double sided family debris monoprints as components for building sculptural forms. Folded paper vessels were stitched together to create abstract sculptures that pushed the limits of paper, ink and thread.

ware-soluble media, India ink, acrylic paint, & acrylic paint marker 24 x 24 x 2.5" Other Dimensions is in my 'Celestial' series. Outerspace, clouds, floating, weightlessness, ... I feel like I'm looking into other dimensions or other worlds places I want to go and see. Where will it take me? With many layers of complex and pure color receding and coming forward. I especially enjoy beginning with water-soluble mark making media of various line qualities. Using my favorite brush, I move colored India Ink around on the canvas to create lovely grays. I then add acrylic paint as I respond to what is happening on the surface. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

pastel 12 x 9" The natural world always inspires me to paint with pastels. Cobalt reflections was inspired by a local hike after a recent snowfall.

oil on canvas 30 x 24" This painting is one of my new series of 18 portraits celebrating the LGBTQ community. As the mother of a son who identifies as Queer, as an American citizen and as a human being, I believe it is important to give a tribute of love to those too often ignored, discriminated against, at best misunderstood and at worst persecuted. Documenting this population’s personal stories and intimate dreams beyond their sometimes-non-conforming appearance or behaviors, is crucial to further their universal acceptance and enable them to live their lives openly and freely. Gary is a friend of a friend and he was very willing to let me paint his portrait.

acrylic, oil, glass 12 x 12 x 2" My work is experimental. I used the left overs in my studio such as dried acrylic skins, seed beads, and a remnant of a bespoke glass piece gone wrong. I threw done the initial paint and let it dry. I stayed in a state of being open as I layered the skins, seed beads and glass pieces on the board. I added more paint and then finished the pieces using fat oil sticks in white or black.

watercolor, marker, ink, pencil 20 x 16 x 2" The art piece, Facade, represents either being unaware or hiding a situation, condition or ailment for a long time that either threatens to bring down or squelch its host. It insists on normalcy and coping/acting as if all is fine in the face of the biggest life challenges. It could be autism, eating disorders, a congenital ailment, effects of smoking, phobias, IBS and and even acting as you are someone that deep down you don't feel as if it's who you are. The effects are exhausting and dangerous.
