mixed media encaustic collage on cradled board 24 x 24" As a society, we are filling the universe with all kinds of junk and my collections of the patterns inside security envelopes only take a tiny fraction out of the waste stream. The protective intention of these decorative patterns is to camouflage & shield financial information. From an endless supply I pick the patterns that appeal to me and cut the envelopes into hexagons. Painting, drawing, handmade paper, gilding and encaustic combine in layers —building pattern and color. I layer tirelessly and final works have a very different appearance and impact. Straw into gold—the hexagons, plus the flux & flow of hot encaustics, transforms the junk mail that endlessly fills my space.

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.

conte crayon and ink on Sunset Velvet Rag 18 x 24 x 1" Perhaps in these times where we see women's rights being literally ripped away from us, we can be inspired by those in the past like Eleanor Roosevelt who battled the odds and never gave up -- she fought for us. Let's keep fighting with all we have, from protest marches to voting for change to electing a judicial body that speaks for us. We must use all the tools we have, including conte crayon on paper, to salute our heroines and ignite others to continue the good fight. The battle continues.

acrylic on canvas 14 x 11 x 1" Inspired by 17th century Dutch still lifes. This painting is symbolic. The quail eggs and feathers symbolize the spring, the hope and a new beginning.

oil on canvas 18 x 24" This artwork was born right after Hurricane Sandy caused major devastation along its path. Seeing the destruction of her home and city, the artist found solace in her community's unity to rebuild. The artists went through personal hurricane around the same years, and her work is a tribute to a human spirit and strength. Using the Peacock as a symbol of resilience and beauty, she portrays a world where human can conquer even the most catastrophic events. Through her use of vibrant colors and intricate details, the artist captures the essence of this remarkable spirit, portraying a world in which even the darkest of moments can be transformed into a source of fortitude and inspiration.

oil 24 x 30 x 1.25" I fell in love with Italy many years ago, and have returned a few times. There is so much beauty in the landscape, their sculptures, the piazzas and museums. So a year ago I traveled to Florence (again), Lake Como and Cinque Terre. Taking photos always holds the memories of the trip for me. I chose a photo from Cinque Terre as inspiration for my painting. The lighting was perfect for an afternoon, the boats were moored after a day of work, and two people sitting and chatting completed the scene.

drypoint print 10 x 7 x .5" “Mistaken” is a drypoint print with watercolor and gouache highlights. The print is based on an original figure drawing and was made on a piece of thick plexiglass that cracked when I tried to re-bevel the edges. The figure (who nearly had her hand cut off in the process) looks back at the artist and viewer reproachfully.

acrylic, paper, and ink 19 x 25 x 1" On a trip to Costa Rica, I did some nature hikes with a local guide in the old-growth forests. He was terrific at spotting animals up in the trees. We would view them through a high-power spotting scope (similar to binoculars but with only one lens). I loved viewing the world through the microcosm of a small circle. It made me focus on a tiny aspect of the greater jungle around us, ignoring everything around me. As an artist, I also like to create that focused direction in my artwork. I lead the viewer to what I want them to see through color, shape, value, and line.

paper, sequins, acrylic 18 x 18 x 7/8" "Hanging Out" is an example of the collaboration between the artist and the work that often happens if the artist takes the time to listen. This piece began as a collage of a western landscape, but slowly a different image began to emerge. Initially the artist saw a torso similar to a headless Degas ballerina, then a sleeveless jump suit appeared that clearly was in need of a hanger.

photography and gold leaf gilding 13 x 15" While wandering through Paris at dawn, I spotted the beautiful monument placed so artfully at the end of a Parisian street. I had to capture the essence of what I saw at that location with the bicycles placed on the bottom left portion of the scene and Marianne of France at center stage as the star of the show. Marianne is the symbol for France like our Statue of Liberty.

sharpie marker on paper 11 x 10" This work on paper illustrates the beauty of movement in stillness as observed through the captivating gesture of a singular insect.

oil on canvas/seed beads 24 x 24" Night Cover is from a body of work that is considering barriers. I am using stone walls as a metaphor for exclusion and inclusion. I ask the viewer to consider where one is positioned in relation to the wall -is one included or is one excluded? The painting is oil on canvas with the seed beads hand laid around the image. The beads are in the background but they come forward creating a visual tension-a tension that is reflected in the notion of walls/barriers.

acrylic, mirror, grout, tile, fabric, faux gold leaf 18 x 24 x 1" This piece speaks to being seen in an art way yes, but more in a human way. The ways in which being seen can heal and make us feel whole. The way being seen causes our light to shine. The way connection is facilitated when you tell another you see them. I think of my work as being of light. The reflective nature of the mirror creates a movement in light that interacts with its environment and viewer, I am hopeful in the most happy of ways.

Gomuban plate print, Akua ink 20 x 16 x 1" "Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere."- Phillip Guston

fresco, salvaged wood on panel 30 x 24" I’m constantly “puzzling” pieces together, whether in the studio, in nature, or in an urban environment; repeatedly picking things up and rearranging them. I’m fascinated with the interplay of contrasting materials and, at times, the contrast within those very materials. In this work, there is a juxtaposition of warm and cool colors, as well as warm and cool materials. There is also a juxtaposition within the elements, with the warmer colors in the cool, smooth texture of the plaster, and the cooler color in the warm, rough texture of the wood. From these relationships, a dialogue is born. I think this dialogue is what enables a work to resonate as both simple and complex, simultaneously.

hand-colored woodcut on canvas with embroidery 19 x 26" A lifelong fascination with sewing and construction led to working in the home sewing industry for many years.

oil on canvas 28 x 22 x 1" This painting is part of a my "Endangered Yet Unbowed" series of painting pertaining to endangered and threatened species. Florida Panthers are dying at an alarming rate. Currently, there are only about 200 known to exist in the wild. I feel we all have a responsibility to protect and bring awareness to all endangered and threatened species so that generations to come can enjoy their beauty.

digital photography 22 x 18" This image was taken while walking down a street in NYC near University Square. I saw the image of advertisement for the bra and then noticed the reflection of the car and old building. At first I thought WOW - something old, something new, something borrowed (or rented like the car), but nothing blue. However, the reflection is what caught my eye., I have a series of work that captures reflections in water, windows and store fronts.

etching with chine collé 19 x 24 x 1" I am always excited to explore and conquer new printmaking techniques. In this case, the copper plate is inked, and Chine collé circles were cut out of gampi, kitakata papers, and suminagashi prints, which I made, and were glued on. Then a plum gampi backed it all. Creating and executing the process itself puts me into the zone, a meditative state, and stops time for me. My themes are the search for and expression of the spirit within, be it animals, landscapes, or spacescapes. I use color, contrast and composition to captivate and create an emotional response for the viewer.

acrylic/collage 14 x 11 x 1.5" Lately, my thoughts have been focusing on the cosmos. Perhaps it has something to do with turning 70? The woman is taking a leap of faith, leaving the security of the steps and heading for the unknown. The figure originally came from a black and white photo of the artist.

steel 29 x 29 x 1" This wall-hanging sculpture is part of my new « Labyrinth series ». I played with flat bars in steel, drawing lines like labyrinths which speak about our internal human journey. In the process of shaping them, I loved using my strength only (no heat, no hammer). The lines are amplified by the play of light casting shadows on the wall and Her Way is an interactive sculpture, the viewer has the liberty to move all the characters within the labyrinth. Let your eyes follow the lines, and feel what narrative resonates the most for you.

acrylic 17.5 x 21.5" As a young adult I read the book, Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The story stayed with me throughout my life, it was about "the deterioration of a woman's mental health while she is on a "rest cure" on a rented summer country estate with her family. Her obsession with the yellow wallpaper in her bedroom marks her descent into psychosis from her depression throughout the story." She would pick away at the wallpaper, creating images. Maybe it was the idea of what our minds are capable of, how much they can lead us in one direction or another. From elation to depression. My painting reflects both sides of this experience.

watercolor 24 x 24 x 1" Lavender Square is one of the pieces in my petal series, which all started with a floral arrangement. Photographing it up close, I discovered how the slightest movement of the camera created an entirely new composition. I was fascinated by the amazing color and shape of each petal. This discovery marked the beginning of a floral journey, starting in acrylic, then venturing into oil and watercolor. My background is in graphic design where I developed a bold approach to color and form. Painting shape by shape, I strive to make each one beautifully blended, and build the final painting like a puzzle, balancing color and texture as I go.

mixed-media, aluminum, sculpted photo, fabric, fiber, encaustic wax and paper 20 x 18 x 5" “Rooted in Humanity” is a series of relief sculptures that records moments of humanity and issues of the environment, reflecting tensions within our current diverse and often divisive society. Inspiration for these works began with long walks in the woods examining nature’s design and detail. By exploring innovative methods and materials, Horowitz’s path is always evolving as are her techniques. Capturing body language, movement and how they relate to emotion and character are essential. Forms emerge from the earth, deeply rooted past struggles and growth. These works depict the human form both isolated and vulnerable and examine the frailty of the human condition.

watercolor 12 x 9 x 1" I created this piece in a studio session with a live model, which is a favorite way to work, with a breathing person in front of you for only a short while. Watercolor is my primary medium, which enables a quickness and practiced looseness to capture an impression of the subject before me. I wanted to express the boldness of the somewhat relaxed pose. This women is determined not to be a victim and to make her own choices.

oil, charcoal, graphite on paper 26 x 21" For three years I have lived and worked in Dutchess County/Upstate New York. Here I cannot escape--the landscape. The natural environment of the Hudson Valley are triggers: rivers, ponds, mountains, trails, farmland, forests. I look for underlying geometry and order amid nature's chaos. Using drawing and mark making with charcoal and graphite and painting with layered oils, I generate an imagined reality from a perceived experience. Draw/erase. Paint/scrape. A ghost remains. I work toward a bilateral glimpse of interconnections between what we can see and what we imagine we can see--a superficial and a subterranean geography. This blend casts the familiar in a new light.

digital art on metal print 30 x 24 x 1" My artwork is a pictorial depiction of abstract words in spiritual concepts through the use of flower forms. By utilizing a central floral motif, I create digital images that place the flowers in a simulated environment, conveying the spiritual ideas and materializing them through digital alterations. For the artwork "Spiritual Birth," I chose a tropical flower that I captured in a photo on a trip to Florida. Its striking shape and vibrant colors inspired in me the idea of a spiritual awakening, which is an essential component of spiritual rebirth.

oil, metal leaf, and waxed thread on canvas 19.25 x 15.25 x 1.25" "Avocado Selfie" is not a self-portrait in the traditional sense, but it is an exploration of my current visual interests set against the backdrop of my own facial features. In the piece, I explore the tension between the representational and the abstract; the flat expanses against modeled forms. I am inspired by medieval European aesthetics and my background in theater, which influenced my color and material choices and the decision to stitch thread throughout the piece.

acrylic with drawing media on cradled board 20 x 20 x 1.5" Dark days of the quarantine resulted in a pall over everyday life, fostering solitude and stressing hope. My work explores the limitless possibilities of abstraction without reference to objective reality while it readily accesses a feeling or mood. In this work, layers of paint and lines mix together, shift and overlap, creating a floating movement as brighter spots are revealed beneath.

ceramic 12 x 12 x 9" The family unit is a medium between personal and social realms. Family is a medium where individual growth occurs in conjunction with interrelationships. It is a space of safety, acceptance, and extreme challenges to harmonize with one another. It is a golden middle between the eternal and the daily. A spirit of protection mediates a family. There are also daemons in the same media, to confuse, and misguide family members, to test their loyalty and their love. Finding a golden ratio among all family members while negotiating individual integrity is a happy medium. In the English language, the word medium has about 7 meanings, all of which can be seen as relevant to the concept of Family.

watercolor pencil on 140 lb arches paper 28 x 23" This drawing, "The Hummingbird", is from a series of works inspired by my granddaughter who is brain damaged, handicapped and visually impaired. The series is called "Beauty in a Broken World". Oriana, my model and my muse, teaches me to be happy, joyous and free and how to live life on life's terms.

watercolor with ink and collage 12 x 16 x 1" My intent is to make visual my inner world of feelings and dreams.

thread, rice paper, maps: McNally's System of Geography, 1868 16 x 20 x 3" In Wanderlust I, maps from geography books published in 1868 are cut and recombined. The carefully charted topographies, geographies, boundaries and coordinates are physically sliced, sewn, woven and layered - ultimately transformed and inviting new explorations. Layering the paper intuitively, responding to the existing cartographic renderings, allows for new territories to form. A unique perspective of mapping the world is depicted utilizing the antique materials. In the geography books from the 1800's the observations of the world provides a record of our long held fascination and curiosity for lands beyond. That drive to search for understanding continues to capture our imaginations.

pastel, ink, acrylic on paper 14.5 x 13.5 x 1" I wonder what it means to make art at a time when it seems we humans are not up to maintaining the health of our beautiful planet and its creatures. What I know is that for me, making art is like being a Therapist, and is like living life. Everything has a way of falling apart and then gathering together, making form out of the unformulated, continually layering and digging beneath the layers. The complexities of abstraction, color, line, and texture are the tools I employ in my passionate reach for exploration of the not yet imagined.

acrylic & mica on canvas 30 x 24" My current work is about the collective unconscious, the evolution of language and the urge to write. Over time I have invented a symbolic language that borrows from ancient symbols but represents no language system but my own, hybrid, created one, that continues to evolve with each new piece I make. The work is meant to be read as language that has no signified meaning other than the viewers interpretation.
