Encaustic on board 5 x 7"The Oculus is located by the World Trade Center and operates as a transportation hub designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. While it is normally quite crowded I happened to be there when most people were wearing masks, avoiding crowds, and still social distancing. From the street level one enters to a platform two stories above, with a view of the entire concourse and soaring walls (if they can be called that), amid skylights to the ceiling. The building is stunning and the height and length of its interior, its depth, reduces those of us inside, to mere shadows of ourselves.

Encaustic on board 5 x 7"One rainy summer morning I drove my mother to a doctor’s appointment in Manhattan and waited in the car. Between the swishing wiper blades I began taking photographs of people out on the street, navigating the rain and the traffic. I often use toner transfers of photographs I’ve taken, in my encaustic work.This image appealed to me because although there is no real danger, the perception is that the traffic is just waiting to rush forward, while the woman is hurrying to get across the street, before that happens.

Everything seems so tense these days. There is so much stress, uncertainty, animosity, and a general fear of the future, the likes of which is a new experience in my life. It’s not just me though, everyone around me appears to be in the same situation. I am now seeking peace and calmness wherever I can find it, in hopes of offsetting all the negativity and worry about where we are all headed. I find that I can still find peace in nature, in beautiful undisturbed landscapes, and in the philosophy of acceptance, for those things that you cannot change in your life. When I sit calmly to paint these scenes it fosters serenity. My hope is that those who view the paintings obtain a sense of tranquility too.

encaustic 7 x 5" One of the things I enjoy about traveling is finding new sources of inspiration for my artwork. It’s exciting to find subject matter completely different from my own New York environment. Years ago, while raising my daughters, I put painting on hold and turned to photography, developing and printing my own black and white photographs. I eventually returned to painting and today the darkroom is obsolete, but I have found a way to incorporate my love of photography with my love of painting. I utilize the photographic images to create encaustic pieces. The process involves turning a color photograph into a high resolution, black and white image. That image is then printed on white paper and burnished into the already painted, warm wax surface, on the encaustic board. The paper is then gently removed by wetting it, and rubbing it off, leaving the ink behind. After that process is finished I may add more paint to the surface. It is also possible to create more texture with the wax if that is what is needed. Encaustic, when polished, has a luminescence not seen in other mediums.

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.

Pastel 12.5 x 11.5" Painting is a much-needed creative outlet for me and I love to experiment with different techniques, pastels and surfaces. What drew me to the scene for “Reflections at the Pier” was the contrast between the red building and the cloudy sky. I was trying to capture the stillness and flat light of a cold day on the water and the texture of the wooden pier and posts.

They had the strength and courage to leave their familiar home towns in the hope of a better life for their children. Often their own lives were made even more difficult by this choice, but the lives of their children and grandchildren benefited from their sacrifices. The hand-sewn fabric is a tactile reference to the generations of anonymous, poorly-paid immigrant women who labored in New York City’s Garment District.cotton threads stitched on linen blend fabric, polyester batting, ink, needles, pins, and images of historic immigration ephemera printed on cloth

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

pencil and colored pencil on pages of an old cookbook 17.5 x 21.5" The work is a drawing of my mother in her WWII Royal Air Force Bomber Command uniform. Instead of drawing paper, I used pages from 'The Settlement Cookbook,' a guide she was given to teach her how to be a 'good American housewife' upon arriving in the U.S as a war bride. I drew her military logo with its words "strike shard and strike sure' floating to the right of her portrait. On the left, an old-fashioned stocking clip hangs like a war medal. Red stitches are drawn to represent the "woman's work" of her new assigned role in America.

Oil on Canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" I rely on the unconscious to paint meditations that are beyond my daily life, using paint to express what my language cannot. This painting reflects my sense of awe at the recognition that we are but tiny specks floating untethered enormous cosmos around us. I used an analogous color palette to create the misty, blurry sensations of my meditation on this vastness. These ideas are beyond my grasp and beyond my words. I recall Carl Sagan’s words that the Cosmos is “beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home."

acrylic on canvas 12 x 12 x 2" This painting is one of a series of 26 works that use the language of color, light and form to the boundaries between art and science and explore a holistic vision of the world. As both the daughter of a scientist and the mother of a scientist, I find the nexus art and science suggests possibilities of hope for protecting natural world. The painting teems with life and the beginnings of life: pods, whirlybirds from maple trees, and cells, interspersed with all manner of mark-making, including circles made of hatch-marks, wandering lines, spirals, and other symbols that reference prehistoric petroglyphs.

acrylic on canvas 36 x 36 x 2" The 36 x 36-inch panels are part of a series that begin with fall and winter, and as the images progress, a pregnant female form emerges from her leafy environment, and ends with new life being nurtured in summer. They speak to the intimacy of our relationship with nature, and perhaps a larger cosmic vision of the wisdom of embracing the feminine energy that birthed us all.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.This Viking, who is searching for his next adventure or perhaps a flagon of beer, is inspired by permission to draw this from armstreet.com, a Ukrainian company that makes Medieval and Renaissance clothing. I've changed the figure to represent the story of searching, and perhaps the Viking here has been running along the beach since his leg wraps are in the process of falling down. The figure is drawn in charcoal with white pastel highlights on heavyweight brown paper glued to a barrier-treated wooden panel and waxed with an archival cold wax. Hence, there is no need for glass on this artwork. My charcoal portraits tend to favor theatrical lighting, costumes, and a good story.charcoal 38 x 18 x 1.5"

compressed charcoal & charcoal pencils on extra rough charcoal paper 12 x 9" The lady in this portrait is from an image that was handed to me during a discussion about Edwardian costume. The image was handed to me as I fell in love with the Edwardian hat and jacket, but it was the sitters eyes that compelled me to draw it. She had a bit of spunk and impishness in her glance, underneath that hat. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic and mixed media on stretched canvas 48 x 48 x 1.5" As a native Swede I have always felt a strong connection to the ancient Scandinavian and Nordic culture and rituals, passed down from generation to generation in the form of poems, sagas and the ancient written alphabet Runes. I translate my memories from my childhood into textured layered paintings; ; weaving layers upon layers of paint, graphite, pigments, marks and symbols. My artistic journey is somewhere at the confluence of the removing and adding layers, the destroying and creating, and the notion that time is a reflection of change and inadvertently leaves an imprint.

I often collect "stuff" on my walks and use them in my art. They fulfill my need for texture both visual and tactile in my work. The moss in this case is from my photographs and altered in color. The vines represent what is often torn from trees. I think these are natural wonders and I continue to preserve them.acrylic and collage

With a symphony of hues, I painted its canvas to mimic the sun's warm embrace. Peach, pink, and coral danced, while the pond shimmered with golden reflections. Trees stretched upward, leaves aglow with sunset's fire. Imperfections embraced; the scene exuded tranquility. The painting captured the fleeting magic of golden hour, inviting viewers to bask in its luminous beauty.acrylic, tree bark, skins, burlap, crayon 19.5 x 19.5"

oil stick on paper 10 x 12" The word Esperanto translates to "one who hopes." It can also be linked to an international auxiliary language developed in 1887.

oil on canvas 24 x 24 x 2" Fresh Water Stone Garden is about reflections in the natural world as we see them in quiet waters, repeated in subtle variations, and has a double meaning of reflections in life: how we choose to be surrounded by the images that cause us to look within ourselves for new insights.

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.

Fiber Arts NUBIGI ,000,097. 9 x 14 in. All of the tiltles of art work include the term "NUBIGi" and a number. Numbers just state the order of art work. NUBIGi means sewing in Korean. For me, sewing means passing through time. The needle pierces the fabric, and the thread connects the holes with the holes, drawing lines and planes from the points. Only expresses the sewing itself, shows that time is still in it. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5" What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art. Growing up in multiple cultures influences my work, and my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. Through the use of vibrant colors, a sense of movement, and unexpected imagery, I hope the viewer is drawn into my work in a way that provides space for their own interpretation and lived experience, but always with a twist, as in RNA. At first glance it appears to be a landscape, but there is more more to this story that I hope the viewer will see.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5" My art is influenced as much by dreams and my subconscious as by my experiences and what is happening around me. Growing up in multiple cultures, and experiencing different sights, sounds and smells, influences my work. Undeniably, my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. I like to tell stories through my work and infuse it with a bit of levity and humor. I paint mostly in acrylics and gouache, and I love experimenting with mixed media, using scraps of wood, fabric fragments and other “stuff” lying around. As I work, I get inspired with new images, so I find myself sometimes working on several paintings at the same time.
