oil on wood panel 30 x 24 x 1" Part of a series that focus on the way reflections of the landscape on water look like calligraphy- like another language. I am trying to both represent and share that language, deleting most of the information about the land and vegetation that makes up the reflection, which results in an abstracted presentation.

Hava Mixed Media on Paper Size of Piece: 24 x 18 x .05 As women, we are not simple. We are complex, exquisite beings that hold more potential than ever recognized. For thousands of years, across regions, for the sake of safety, we hid our true nature to accommodate those with made-up power. Now, we are leaping out of our assigned frames and are claiming our own narrative. Equality is a basic human right, a fundamental pillar in establishing a peaceful and prosperous world. While progress happens, there is still a great deal left to do. Girls and women continue to face significant challenges all around the world. Historically, though, women are described as goddesses, spirits, mythical beings from fairytales and scriptures - we are holy and dangerous. We are everything man desires and everything he fears, his source of life and his terror at the thought of death, of loss. All these contradictions stir many questions and emotions, but we learn to find the balance in life.

We care for it, caress it, allure it, so it stays with us, loves us, and lives in us. Although it is the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious, it's responsible for reality testing, and we need it for a sense of personal identity. Overindulgence in loving yourself may bring Ego to a dangerous state that might hurt us. The Ego separates us from ourselves and becomes an unhealthy sense of superiority and importance. It brings arrogance and self-centered ambition. It becomes our enemy. So, what does one do? Live with the enemy? Tame it? Or maybe killing it is the answer?

printmaking 5 x 3" The theme of self-introspection is crucial to my art, since I believe that only by delving into the enigmas of the self can an individual truly engage with the world and bring about change in a profound, meaningful way. Though I consider myself primarily a Symbolist, my art draws on a wide variety of mythologies, worldviews, religions, and literary traditions, both ancient and modern, ranging from Buddhism to Russian folklore.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.This painting was inspired by the flowers on the tropical brugmansia plant I have been overwintering for years and abstractly by images of the galaxy in which we are a part. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant community of life in my garden, my flowers invite universal questions of existence and purpose in their quest for survival, eventual senescence, and rebirth. The merging of the visions of space with the identifiable floral images by using transparent glazing between the micro and macro visions symbolizes the interconnectedness and fragility of all life, underscoring the need for open discourse to ensure universal survival.oil on canvas 40 x 30 x 1.5"

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 & 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.

Our model was a wonderful person, covered in tattoos and piercings. I thought, at the time, so many people would consider her as different, but why? What if she was a Saint? What if she lived a life full of grace and beauty? I wanted to create layers of colors and hidden bits for people to find when they looked at it. Just like people.

Collage 8 x 10 in. The medium of collage is by nature graphic, textural, structural and filled with fields of color. Experimenting with a smaller format allows me to work out design and media details before going to larger works. Buildings and shadows and colors are rich and diverse in St. Augustine, FL . Walking the streets is a visual treat with buildings dating back to the early 1700s. It was a natural progression for me to produce works from photos I had taken while on a trip to St. Augustine.

mixed media 14 x 14" As a multimedia artist living in Brewster Massachusetts, I draw freely from all the various disciplines of art. Using a computer as both a tool and a collaborator, I layer my original photographs, textures, and drawings together in Photoshop. These separate elements often combine in surprising ways. Working intuitively, I allow for mystery and unpredictability to dictate where the process leads. Living on Cape Cod, I am dazzled by the many moods of the ocean. Perhaps the most spectacular is the power of a storm. To capture my impressions of the drama, I begin with a large paintbrush and black ink. I imagine waves pounding the shore as I splash the ink across the paper. These images are scanned into my computer and arranged in layers one over another using Photoshop. Additional layers of color are added until I feel I have captured the spirit, power and essence of a wave.

watercolor 18 x 25 x 1" "Watercolor Works" explore the relationship between nature and the built environment. Watercolor has been a favorite medium of Architects, prior to the advent of photography, and now as a means of recording the topology of places [i.e., the topographic study of a given place, especially the history of a region]. As an Architect and Urban Designer, Mary Elizabeth Rusz continues in this tradition, Her paintings explore the “genius loci” – the essential quality or special nature of each selected place. Ms. Rusz is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, a Resident Artist of the Salmagundi Club of New York, and a NAWA Signature Member since 2012.

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.

Works on Paper 24 x 18 in. Since the pandemic, I have been incorporating masks and braille in monotypes to explore how we hide or reveal ourselves. This series, “Who Sees?”, explores the use of veils, masks, head coverings, face coverings in different cultures. How do we perceive women when they are veiled or masked? Are they disempowered or empowered? Do the masks/veils offer freedom or protection or bondage? The images that I create are multilayered, pushing us to delve deeper into this subject. “Who Sees” simultaneously draws you in and pushes you away.

The First Glow Collage with digital images and watercolor Size: 3 x 2 These works were inspired by the objects I found. "Burnin' Love )" was inspired by a found matchbox in the back of a drawer and I did a series of matchbox assemblages...this being one. My mom loved Elvis and took me to every movie he was in and I thought this would be a fun use of the piece. "The First Glow" was inspired by a pile of letters I found between a couple who wrote to each other and the letters revealed the development of the relationship and this piece is about how they both began to edge more towards love and "the first glow" or blossoming of new love...
