  • watercolor 35 x 28 x 1" The inspiration is the plethora of late summer-plantings in the St-Michel-de-Cuxa Cloister at The Cloisters Museum in northern Manhattan. My intent was to convey the contrast between the permanence of the 12th-century architectural elements and the fragile, transient essence of the blooms.

  • acrylic on canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" My piece, "Irreconciliation," explores the uncomfortable experience of irreconcilability. In today's political climate, it is unfortunately an ever-present force. Through abstraction, the painting captures the dynamisms, complexities, contradictions and opposing forces resulting in irreconciliation, yet also depicts the seeds of possible conciliation, if only we could acknowledge them.

  • oil & cold wax on wood panel 20 x 20" This painting was one of my first pieces upon moving to South Carolina. I was inspired by the ever-changing sky as a storm approached along the Intracoastal waterway. This is my first piece using cold wax. I used the cold wax to blend the colors and sought to achieve the glow in the sky. The cold wax was integral in creating the reflections in the water.

  • collage 40 x 50" I am fascinated by the mythic concept of one’s daimon, or spiritual companion. According to Plato, the daimon acts as a carrier of our destiny. I refer to these companions as “the Grandmothers” and wonder how do they manage? Where do they reside? How do they carry such an important weight both physically and emotionally? While softly swinging in my hammock, the feeling of a vessel gliding effortlessly through the cosmos came to me. These boat-like vehicles developed into soul sleds. They are the agent from which the Grandmothers run the show and watch over us. Exploring the ideas of one's soul journey is my work's focus.

  • oil on linen 24 x 36 x 1.5" This painting is inspired by my walks with my dog Bodhi. He's a spirited energetic animal so it was a rare opportunity to catch him in a contemplative moment In this painting, I feel that Bodhi is enjoying nature in a similar way to me, but with different sensations, including his exquisite sense of smell, and touch. The painting reflects my sense that as humans, we are part of nature, and having an experience with a different species can enhance our appreciation of the world around us.

  • watercolor & gouache on polypropylene 27.25 x 33.25 x 1.5" The Italian word “capriccio” has various definitions: playful; whimsical; fanciful notion; an instrumental free form composition, usually lively in tempo and brilliant in style; characterized by unpredictable, sudden turns and changes were my muses for this painting. If ever a word described the Italian spirit, this is that word. It is the word that inspired the playground of the Roman emperors – Capri. “Capriccio” expresses all the definitions simultaneously. Using only the elements of art in a non-narrative composition afforded me the opportunity to take a capriciously joyful approach in my artistic interpretation of the word and the joyful Italian spirit and overall approach to life.

  • collage on canvas 24 x 18 x 1" When I was working on this series I felt that these faces starring back at me were powerful and fierce and I wondered where was I going with these images. They slowly evolved by the addition of several symbolic images- Crosses, Birds & feathers. Crosses dividing the face - We are all two spirits the good and evil, the yes & no. Birds - I put birds on the eyes- Birds eye view of life! They are soaring through the sky with their eyes wide open! I like the old saying “See the soul through ones eyes” Feathers: In different Native American communities, the feather has many different meanings. It represents wisdom, spirituality, honor, respect, energy and also represents the sky and air.

  • cast handmade paper wall sculpture 96 x 96 x 14" I am fascinated with the topography of landscapes, full of complex lines shapes, colors and textures. I create staged landscapes defined by human presence. With forced perspective I invite the viewer to enter my landscapes of Illusions and fantasy. Playing with the mind, scale, pocket openings, and crevices evoke a sensibility of self in-space. A call for a consciousness.

  • paste & ink on Arches paper 42 x 108" Quoddy I was created in the summer of 2022. I drove to downeast Lubec, Maine and over several days, I made ten "walk and draw" studies as I explored the trail there. There is a strong Japanese inspiration here in the simplified shapes. At the same time, in almost a cubist manner, I combine different views into one sweeping, overall view. The sunset in the back shows this shift of time and color. I also add Japanese kanji into the piece, to flatten the space and add eternal meanings. The ink is added after blending 20 layers of pastel.

  • 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.

  • acrylic painting 40 x 30 x 1.5" My freehand, hard-edged abstract, sculptural form floats within a harmonized color field. I created my color pair with techniques used by figurative painters to give atmospheric perspective to landscapes and depth to objects in space. Can you sense the depth? Sentinel is a regal abstraction, placidly on guard. My signature tiny golden heart rests on the underside of the canvas, a talisman of joy, hope, and love. I varnished her with a matte finish. A minimal white wooden float frame and a small portal to view the golden heart can be added to this painting.

  • oil 30 x 24 x 2" I am fascinated by light reflected on glass and water. One of my goals is to be able to render it impressionistically in oil paint. The glass box was made by my father who has passed away, so the scene held a double challenge for me as artist. I wished to pay a tribute to his artistry with my own.

This is in line with what I have always sought, the subconscious manifesting itself in the conscious execution of my work. Striping gradually evolved as a device to create a surface layer that must be penetrated to find the hidden core, the third dimension in a two dimensional work.

  • unique photo transfer technique with intaglio print 21 x 17" My husband and I went to a fundraiser for the Litchfield Jazz Camp in Connecticut, and there was a young man playing with the adults in the ensemble that was entertaining. I was so impressed with his playing that I took a few photos. I have used this unique photo transfer technique, which mimics aquatint (sort of- not purely of course), because I like the texture and unpredictability of it. I created a drypoint intaglio plate to superimpose over the photo transfer, and this is the result. There is jazz music around me all the time, so musical themes are some of the subject matter in my artwork. I enjoy the challenge of showing something purely aural in a visual way.

Our adventures can be charted seen ebbing from the past and streaming towards the future. Tenaciously, we live and as we tally up experiences, adapting our stories to make our lives work, our memories resiliently swing from the past to become optical illusions for the present.

  • monotype 21.5 x 17.5" My piece "Wandering Triangle" is one of a series of monotypes where I have experimented with movement and abstraction. Monotypes are often called "the painters's print" because they are a free, easy and fluid technique. People have often commented on how much directional motion they observe in both my prints and paintings. This may emerge from the fact that I am a dancer in addition to being a visual artist. In this case, the triangle subject seems to take a multi-dimensional journey as we all do in life.

  • watercolor and mixed media 18 x 14 x 1" I am an abstract painter, and I work primarily in watercolors with mixed media elements. I’m inspired by the interplay of colors, shapes, and uneven lines, and I love the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor paints. I work very intuitively: I always have a starting point - a particular color combination or focal point - but then I just go wherever inspiration leads me, often surprising myself! Painting is the best therapy I know. It brings me peace, balance, and joy, and it helps me maintain an even keel in our uncertain times. My Blue Heaven is a reminder to find intentional moments of gratitude.

  • acrylic 21 x 17 x 1" I have always been interested in the stories of women who create. Whatever the medium is--poetry, fiction, non-fiction, painting, sculpture, music--wherever the muse takes them. My own artistic career has been varied, with writing fiction, non-fiction (journalism) and painting taking precedence. A passion for photography has led to an interest in expressionistic portraiture, using photographs of artists, past and present, as a springboard for my own painting. Some believe that a photograph lies as it only captures a moment but what can be read in that moment has helped me in my own search for the truth behind the image., which has led to my Strong Women series.

  • cast concrete, reclaimed materials, and pigments 3.75 x 10 x 2" In an attempt to adapt to the onslaught of changes being done to the environment by humans, nature is increasingly creating hybrid forms that fuse the man-made with the natural. These hybrids, like many of products we consume, are simultaneously compelling and toxic. Using these new life forms as inspiration, I create uncanny forms intended to suggest an animated fusion of the organic and the industrial. All of these fusions represent an artificial reality that is a hallmark of our anthropocene age. My work is an exploration of the legacy of our current lifestyle and its effects on our world.

  • metal print with AI-assisted image 20 x 20" The Trust In Me series came about as a motivating manifestation. Like all artists, I go through the phases of extreme self-criticism. Moving to another city, to another country, you can’t help but start comparing yourself to others. You think you are not doing enough. You are not enough. In order to create freely you need to be connected with yourself. Spending more time alone and reflecting helps to hear that inner voice. Only YOU can know what to do next. I named each work in honor of women who in my opinion changed or magically touched the art world, As part of a series this work represents J. K. Rowling.

  • acrylic on panel 18 x 18" My My Blueberry Pie is about a favorite memory shared with my mom who is 94. Every summer we watch the hummingbirds on the porch at the lake. We get in our kayaks and paddle to a little island that is loaded with blueberries. We pick in silence, except for the sound of the birds, waves and boats. I look over and my mom is happy as a clam as she climbs deeper and deeper into the blueberry bush. We bring our stash home, clean them. We find the recipe, earmarked in our camp journal, written in my mother's handwriting. Realizing with a smile we have omitted the main ingredient. We work in tandem making the pie. We savor every bite back on the porch with the hummingbirds. Summer has arrived.

In this painting we see a scared, young woman being escorted to a clinic. One of the escorts holds up a hanger with the bottom wire twisted to read “never again.” My fear is that abortions will once again become deadly. In reality, this only affects lower income girls and women as those more financially secure will just go to other states or countries.

  • gouache & Carand'Ache NeoColorsII on oleo paper 14.625 x 18.62 x 1.5" Having a vantage point away from people can give you the opportunity to really "study and see" the life happening around you. As an artist, this is very important and inspirational. The medium, gouache and Carand'Ache ll Aquarelle colors, gives an immediate opportunity to express and create the artwork. It lays down fast and dries quickly. I hope this piece, "Sunday morning at Track5, Coffee Shop", draws you in to really observe the painting. The "Characters" enjoying coffee under the moody warm lighting, seeming to create a movie like set. The fun of being so close, yet in your own space. Sometimes having nothing more in common than that morning brew & conversation. Enjoy!

  • acrylic, archival repurposed artist's rags, 23.5k gold leaf 10 x 10 x 3" At eight, when studying oil painting, I knew I would speak through my art. I have always been passionate about the beautiful palette of human diversity and nature, but also empathetic to the struggles of humanity and the vulnerability of all life forms. My decades long art career has been dedicated to making art about these passions. I observe and research for each painting. Something as small as a fruit fly, a beautiful human head, or a magnificent winter landscape seen from the train as I travel between my studios in Pittsburgh and NYC can inspire a large, multifaceted painting that combines human diversity, Mother Nature, and often the global struggles of women.

  • relief print with chine-colle 11 x 14 x 1" This is a view from my studio building, using real and imagined colors. I constructed the collagraph plate with multiple layers of cardboard and string. Initially conceived as a print in black and white, I am inspired to add color using chine-colle. In this piece I roll out the ink first, apply glue to each piece of colored paper, then place the individual papers colored side down on the inked plate. The print paper is then placed on top of the plate, where the ink will now transfer to the colored papers, and the colored papers will adhere to the print paper. I hand rub, and finally pull the print from the plate. I am having so much fun playing with a variety of color combinations!
