Talisman #8acrylic on wood panelSize: 24 x 18The Talisman series began as free experimentation with watery acrylic and ink on paper. Gradually a central portal or entity emerged. In Talisman #8, I also used molding paste for texture and the application of a linoleum block.

acrylic on wood 24 x 20 x 1.5" This painting was begun experimentally by dripping paint, which I then slashed through. I had the idea of making some sort of dense floral, decorative abstraction, but it evolved into the painting of a hedge. Adding the doorway transformed it from a landscape into a mindscape, as we are invited to explore unseen depths.

acrylic on wood panel 24 x 20 x 1.5" This painting was started experimentally by dripping paint and slashing through it to create decorative vines. A landscape was painted around these vines, and the painting was shown with this image. Later, I decided to weave more vines over the landscape, The weaving forms a thick veil through which the original landscape can be viewed, like a memory or mysterious fantasy.

sculpture 10 x 12 x 7" I create expressive sculptural forms from natural materials, drawing inspiration from both nature and the human figure, yet venturing toward abstraction. The essence of my work often embodies a biomorphic aesthetic, offering a tangible representation of our human connection to the environment. The idiosyncrasies of each piece of stone or wood present unique technical and creative opportunities. I approach this with a blend of intuitive and calculated design solutions, constantly seeking to unveil the spirit inherent in each material. Employing pneumatic and electrical tools, I meticulously finalize the finish through hand polishing. When I engage directly with the process, it transcends to an unconscious state of mind. I commence by studying the stone or piece of wood—observing its shape, color, and constitution. I inquire, 'What is it telling me?' and envision how I can breathe life into it through movement, revealing the beauty concealed within and the spirit that resonates with the viewer. The stone both inspires and teases me. As I progress with a particular vision, I sometimes find myself uncovering an entirely different one. The process of carving into a piece of living, natural material elicits moments of joy and excitement, intertwined with periods of doubt and struggle.

Sinuous Dance Belgium black marble on walnut base Size of Piece: 18 x 6 x 5 Two rectangular pieces of Belgian black marble inspired me to explore the interplay of complementary forms. Though the shapes lean toward abstraction, together they engage in a dynamic dialogue—one that unfolds through the subtle variations of their placement. Their interaction evokes a choreographed dance, where balance, tension, and movement create a continuous exchange of energy.

Veil Sculpture Size: 12 x 6 x 6 I create expressive, sculptural forms from natural materials, drawing inspiration from both nature and the human figure, often leaning towards abstraction.

Picasso marble on a marble base 14 x 10 x 7" I chose the stone because of its interesting coloring while understanding it would be a challenge to carve. The mixture of colors, combination of elements it was composed of, and the dry brittle quality would make it difficult to control. I kept the form simple because of the complex design, yet I wanted the dynamic of the piece moving through space, inspired by the name of the stone, “Picasso,”: thus, the title Harlequin. I utilized power tools to avoid unwanted breaks. The process was direct carving meaning that I had no preconceived idea or model to refer to. Through both an intuitive process and calculated design solutions. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Sculpture 9.75 x 14 x 6"
My sculpture is inspired by the human connection to nature. I use natural materials to create organic forms that move through space. The delicate translucency of calcite or the heavy trunk of wood, both present unique technical and creative opportunities.

Afternoon Oil on Canvas Size: 18 x 24" I am totally inspired by nature and the world it reveals. I look constantly at the sky, woods and the nature around me, fascinated by colors, light and shadow. In my studio I recreate what I just saw outside from memory, working with colors and shapes that recreate the glorious feeling I felt from the "looking" experience. I believe that nature represents all that is true in this universe and that it connects us all-animal, human and other unseen worlds. And for me, it is a truly beautiful experience that is totally uplifting! Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Painting Madame Issac Pereire 14 x 11 x .001 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.

Newborn Icharcoal on arches paperSize: 30 x 22.5This drawing ispart of a series entitled ‘In Fraught Times: Tending to Love’. I have felt besieged by unchecked hatred, biases of all kinds, racism, misogyny, an imploding climate, unabated gun violence, and truth as an endangered commodity. As an antidote, I chose to focus on the humanity and lives of those in my familial orbit, to hold them up and celebrate the goodness present in living, striving and evolving. Many of these works marvel at the magic of the moment and honor the purest of encounters with the special little humans in my life. The difficult and satisfying challenge in my portraiture is to portray some unarmed truth and in so doing to suggest our complex humanity, our shared experience. And in defiance of all the negativity and hatred peddled continually, I celebrate goodness, empathy, sincerity and caring.

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".

New Voyage #1acrylic paint, tissue paper, on plywoodSize: 18 x 18In 2020 our world turned upside down. My experience with Covid19 and the lockdown reoriented my approach to life and art and I explored the world of abstraction more seriously. I began studying with Nicholas Wilton, a west coast artist, taking many online courses with him. He encourages following one’s instincts and taking risks. I am attracted to the freedom, the movement, and the limitless opportunities to rearrange reality through collage. And it is also terrifying, losing control and trusting intuition. It is a never-ending process of growth and change that continues to force taking chances, feeling uncomfortable and uncertain, making, and resolving mistakes, and learning to be an effective critique.
