painting 24 x 36 x 2" My painting "Kindred Spirits" bridges the gap between animals and humans. In my painting, Mwenda, a keeper in Kenya, says good-bye to his magnificent friend, Sudan, the last Northern White male Rhino. They are kindred spirits who blend together, just like their colors blend. Their curved forms are shared, heavy with a shared grief and unspoken love and respect. Together they form "Kindred Spirits" teaching Humanity lessons of extinction and lessons of Love with Sudan's last breath.

mixed media on Arches paper 30 x 22" Every Tuesday I spend time with a friend with Vascular Dementia. Just before her diagnosis she asked me to teach her to draw. Immediately, in spite of no experience at all, it was clear that she had outstanding talent. Her illness has robbed her of this gift and the opportunity of certain NAWA membership. How she would have loved this sisterhood and its sharing of ideas, joy, respect, and strength. This piece shows her feeling of disappearing, but mostly it is about our shared sorrow.

watercolor on Yupo 20 x 19" Recently I have been working on Yupo paper with my watercolors. This piece is a still life from my flower garden. I like the fluid effects that happen on the yupo substrate and the challenge to control the direction of the painting. It can be abstract in feel but still very realistic to the viewer.

acrylic paint 48 x 30 x 1.5" There are moments when the majesty of gigantic trees reflected in the water causes me to stop in my tracks, taking in the beauty and the stillness. In an almost magical flow, this painting emerged from my memories of such moments.

mixed media including thread, various papers, linen, gold leaf, paint, pencils & pens 56 x 48" Petroglyphs, architecture, graffiti, scrolls, codices – examples of our collective human urge to leave an imprint, tell a story, mark our time. These relics are a historical record with a tenacious existence. Think the caves of Lascaux, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the tagged surfaces of train cars. My work speaks to this human urge for mark leaving, referring to an enduring historical record while simultaneously becoming a part of it. Drawing on ideas of the intersection between written language and spirituality, this piece is constructed, deconstructed and reassembled into an intimate and ephemeral account of our shared history, our difficult present and our uncertain future.

collage; newsprint, dyed papers, recycled plastics and sashiko stitching with a vintage wood clotheshanger 36 x 17 x 3" "OMG” is a part of a series called "Woman is Boss", that makes art from the past, present. Japanese women from vintage newspapers and a 1937 travel book are shown in more submissive roles compared to women as they are viewed now. The name is derived from the facial expression of the large standing female figure on the left side viewing the female images around her. Inspiration came from repurposing a plastic commercial swimsuit hanger. This series of artworks utilizes recycled plastics, dyed papers as well as ancient newspapers, antique buttons and Sashiko stitching to create art using the female torso hanger shape.

watercolor on paper mounted on board 60 x 40 x 1" "The Nurturers" is expressing many women's proclivity towards caring for others throughout their lives. Even when women have aging parents &/or adult children, many of us tend to have a penchant to provide support & caregiving to those in need.

acrylic, airbrush, alcohol ink, oil pastel 40 x 48 x 1.5" Our world sometimes seems to be buffeted by forces beyond our grasp or comprehension. This diptych is informed by the "weather" of culture, politics, religion, differing ideologies. Much like a meteorologist might follow radar maps to stay informed on what's coming, sometimes the "weather" can still take us by surprise. Will it be sunny and predictable? Will it be turbulent and stormy? Looking at daily life through this filter, allows me some solace in letting go of things over which I have no control (like the real weather).

mixed media oil painting 42 x 28 x 2" My work in general hints at what is behind the eyes, the flesh and what we recognize as being human. Our bodies are bound by the laws of nature but our souls are not. Moon Garden draws us into the natural world to be lit up by the light of the moon, surrounded by flowers that bloom at night while becoming an intimate part of nature herself.

photography 27 x 18" By manipulating light sources, imagery, and time, I create a sense of time travel in each frame. Through the use of vintage source material juxtaposed with modern LED lights, I create a striking tension between old and new. My work is centered around experimentation and the unexpected. The in-camera collage of the moon goddess Selene and her chariot, for example, came to life only after the 30 second exposure was complete and I played back the frame. This approach to photography allows me to push the boundaries of what's possible, creating images that are as surprising as they are beautiful and evoking a sense of wonder while transporting the viewer to another time and place.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 x 2" Kane's work always begins with line(s) of many types. Lines build upon lines to create a sense of volume and depth. Sometimes the result is recognizable visually. Sometimes, as in "Mixed Lineage", the visual result may not be immediately recognizable as a thing. Your perception of this image is your own. I hope you enjoy this piece and smile.

acrylic 48 x 60 x 1.5" Nature, for me, is a constant source of inspiration. This pink jungle has many paths to travel. Playfully we encounter many different animals throughout this landscape, even a dog with green dancing shoes! Being in nature reminds me of the paradox of our own complexity and our own smallness. Our feeling both small and vast in the natural world leads to stillness. In the stillness, we become aware of our inner light. This is the light of our true nature and our sacred heart. May all beings cultivate joy along this path to true enlightenment.

glazed stoneware 17 x 6 x 6" After the pandemic I was feeling protective of myself and my friends and family. I had been doing nudes for a long time, but it didn't feel appropriate anymore. I made a series of these sentinels. They are combined thrown and modeled forms. i see them as entities that will look over us and out for us. Making them made me feel better.

acrylic on canvas 24 x 83 x 1.5" Dead Zone I, published in the print edition of the international literary an arts journal, Still Point Arts Quarterly XI, was inspired by media reports of agricultural and industrial runoffs occurring in deltas, estuaries, lakes, rivers and oceans worldwide. Add in climate change acidifying and warming the waters, the end results are low oxygen levels that lead to reproduction problems in sea life, reduction of the population of large fish and suffocation of marine life. There may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Scientists have stated that dead zones due to human activity are reversible if their causes are reduced or eliminated. Surely a challenge and an uphill battle.

photography/digitally manipulated 16 x 24 x 1" On the surface, the digital images in Judy's Under the Big Top portfolio portray circus troupes as glamorous, athletic, and cooperative. Further thought reveals deeper truths, such as commitment to disciplined practice produces impressive results. In "En Garde!" a clown models resilience despite adversity and imperfection, a way to grow from failure and heal through self-recognition and laughter. Although a clown may be ill-prepared and quivering with fear, he still bravely shows up.

acrylic on canvas 48 x 65" When people get married, they are in love and feel like on the cloud. But marriage life takes a lot more than feeling good. It also takes resistance, keeping the promise, forgiveness, etc. My painting is composed to show the contrast between the love high and the reality of married life. "The Kiss of Rodin" is painted on the cloud as a symbol of a trance moment of love while holding hands over letters of troubles of married life showing the physical and emotional tie of a married couple.

oil on canvas 48 x 36 x 1.3" My abstract work reflects personal experiences depicted without naturalistic objects. After painting a series of highly-structured, static, mostly gray compositions, I created "Breach" in a series called "Chaos." My world had gone from inertia to movement and color and disorder. "Breach" shows water breaking through rocks surrounded by coral and other sea life in an underwater scene. Though there is destruction and chaos, there is also beauty and joyousness.

pastel on paper, mounted photograph 50 x 103 x 3" My assemblages: pastel on paper and mounted photographs, are created by layering juxtaposing elements: nature vs. glitter. The viewers are immersed into my glowing, dazzling world of color, light, dimension and beauty. I create these stills by combining the elements: photographs of the landscape in seasons and detailed photographs of glowing or glittering moments . The paralleling objects are added to accentuate these phenomena. These compelling compositions are the culmination of many carefully executed steps that define my unique creative process. My intent is to captivate the audience and lure them into my world of undeniable beauty.

colored pencil on paper 10.75 x 14.5 x 1" The original inspiration for Currents/Countercurrents was a view of wildly rushing waters flowing over a multitude of rocks in a pool of lake water. Each second I observed them, water would flood in anew to present more and more complex patterns. As I began to draw, vibrating colors akin to Op Art began to occur. I emphasized these, as well as building up the color in almost impasto effects adding to the frenzy. As the drawing progressed, it expressed additional meanings of the temper of the times.

embroidery and felting 13 x 10" This is one of a series called “Ariadne Slept Here” showing Ariadne in current locales, a spinner who can help us escape the modern Minotaurs. Bonnie MacAllister renders in figurative embroidery, handspun threads, globally sourced farm wools and fibers, and recycled textiles. The language of textiles is also that of connection, threading together identity, history, biology, and personal experience. My portraits on handmade felt are created from an original figure drawing, transformed into needlepoint, bounded and knotted with each physical perforation, a gesture of self-healing, promoting mindfulness.

acrylic 30 x 40" Karlene explores memories and perceptions of the natural world through her colorful, gestural paintings. She uses shapes and lines to mimic organic forms found in nature, playing with positive and negative space and layers of paint to build up a sense of atmosphere on a flat plane. Her work is also fueled by bursts of color. While not true to life, her palette creates a conversation between cool and warm tones and serves to energize her compositions.

oil 38 x 40 x 1.75" This painting is the beginning of a new series limiting the color palette. It tells the story of living in a place I love. My inspiration is the beauty of the city that keeps moving amongst its iconic structures and deep shadows. Daylight is used to outline both the buildings and people. I have always been a fan of antique silhouettes. They illustrate a history of fashion and stature in the most simple form. Fast forward to my version of silhouettes 2023.

mixed media 32 x 24 x 3" Contemplating the graphic nature of quilts, I decided to use that concept for a mixed media piece using old photos of my family. I manipulated a photo of myself by turning it into a black-and-white jpg cut and rearranged it to become a graphic outline. I sewed some photos onto the paper with antique buttons, and used tracing paper to "cloud" some of the memories and outline. I continued the stereotype of using quilts as decoration and made the frame to hang the project.

oil, gouache, pastel, on Arches oil paper 34 x 34 x 1.5" I create portraits of military spouses in mixed media. These paintings, which lean on drawing, display layered surfaces that disrupt and entwine with figures- representing the relentless cycle of moving and starting over. This figurative work revels in the immediacy, intensity, and expressiveness that drawing provides while exploring mark-making and surfaces. These qualities add tension between the figures and background while visually representing the struggle of spouses to not lose their individuality in lives dictated by another's military career. While being a military spouse is a tremendous honor, these portraits are an expression of their psychological space and tumultuous lives.

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.

acrylic on canvas 36 x 36 x 2" I’m interested in notions of landscape that focus on shallow water systems in both natural and man-made environments. The work combines representational and abstract approaches for a dialogue that addresses complexity and metaphor and which celebrates the intuitive response across painting, sculpture, drawing and print media. Composed Shallow (Three Leaves) proposes an intimate experience of a natural water system where familiar color, structure, and perspective are replaced and re-ordered.

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.

opalstone on granite 15 x 20 x 6" This sculpture was created in 2020 after George Floyd was murdered. My work often involves archetypal images like Sheela-na-gigs and vultures. The vulture harkens to the ancient Egyptian goddess Nekhbet. The vulture was the first image I saw in the stone. The Black Lives Matter protests in Portland continued for 100 nights. At one point, a nude white woman postured as a Sheela-na-gig, displaying her vulva toward the police. For me, she was the perfect back of the vulture as the vulture was the perfect front for the Sheela. Combined, they gave me hope for a new future.

linocut 20 x 16 x 1" My prints reflect my lifetime fascination with the eternal truths and beauty found in the natural world. I find these in the grace and elegance of living forms and the majesty of scenic landscapes. I channel them into a personal visual statement. Each print is the result of an idea, a narrative that forms in my mind, which I execute as a design. Then there is the challenge of cutting the image into the plate and printing the edition. Cutting each plate provides a new learning experience.

photography 28.5 x 24" Around the Keukenof Gardens, you will find the most beautiful tulip fields in the Netherlands. The designers' arrangements of the tulips excited me. Beautiful yellows, reds, pinks, purples, and whites transformed into a magnificent painting. I was inspired to create with my camera my interpretation of the tulips. Using a Topaz filter, I was able to push and pull the colors of the tulips until I was satisfied that the Explosion of colors were perfect. I want the viewer to experience my image so that it will enhance your imagination and lift your spirit. I hope that what I have seen through my heart becomes visible through your eyes.

oil on canvas 20 x 24" “Just Before the Stars Come Out” speaks of the end of the day; when the moon is up, just before the stars are readily visible. That sky has the most beautiful shade of royal blue, like lapis lazuli. It only lasts for a moment but is such magic. “I often find myself painting in two’s – such as the two chairs or two lampposts. It suggests a story, and I’ve been told it’s romantic.” I work both from direct observation of nature and from imagination. My work is about color and feelings. The thrill for me in painting lies in the countless possibilities of the interjection of a single stroke of color, upon color. My art is my effort to capture a moment and preserve the uniqueness of it.

oil on oil primed linen 40 x 30 x 2" Inspired by a recurring dream, I am interested in past experiences and how they mold and form who we become. Childhood memories are often the source of meaning and inspiration for my work. I use a shallow space and multiple perspectives in my compositions, working partly from life and partly imagination. All imagery has a specific meaning to me personally but I do not wish to embed a narrative in the painting. The inspiration serves only as an excuse to make the painting.

acrylic on canvas 48 x 60" I like soft colors and ways to find “safe passage” through the canvas, in the same way that we all maneuver through life and find our way. I want to create a feeling of depth, with forms intertwining, like stories of individuals in a city full of people. I strive to create contrast, vibrant interaction, raised and recessed surfaces, glossy and matte combined finishes. Life is a little like a puzzle and we all have to find our way to make the pieces fit. Intuitively, I convey my feelings in a particular painting, depending on my situation at the time… exploring the way shapes intersect in life and the way we sometimes hide the obvious behind a mask.
