oil on canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5" My world is best described as colorful and rhythmic. My paintings explore themes of the human condition, identity, and self-reflection, and this energetic piece strikes the balance between introspection and contemporary cultural influences. My work is process-oriented and this deeply layered, textured painting is inspired by my own memories and moments of love, joy, spirituality, conflict and resolution. I paint intuitively as I create with both reckless abandon and bold strokes that feel like an emergency and careful restraint and meticulous, purposeful marks. I love sharing the intent behind each piece but am most interested in what my work evokes for the viewer.

pastel 22 x 28.5 x 1" When someone looks at one of my portraits, I want them to feel that I have given them a window into the soul of the sitter. Creating a portrait is a challenge; in addition to the structural aspects of the face, there is the indefinable quality that he or she possesses that I hope to capture in my work.

ink on wood, graphite on rice paper with gold, copper and silver foil 12 x 12 x 1.5" I find in inspirational to work with new and different materials as a figurative artist. I had many books of foil that my father had given me, and I thought it would be wonderful to incorporate them into a piece of art, while think of my father while doing so. Foil is difficult medium to use, and I wanted to feel that I was using it in a new way. I inked wood with Chinese ink to give depth and worked from there. I then worked graphite on Chinese paper to get the effect I wanted. I have 2 more work to make a series of 3.

photography digitally manipulated 12 x 15 x .8" "Ephemeral Waltz" is a photograph that captures the essence of fleeting beauty found in nature's blossoms. Using digital manipulation, I transformed an array of small azaleas into a single, ethereal flower with gracefully outstretched petals. The dreamy white color of the flower contrasts against the serene pale blue background, creating an evocative and harmonious composition. This artwork offers viewers a chance to immerse themselves in the enchanting dance of delicate petals and appreciate the transient, magical moments that nature provides.

acrylic 21.5 x 27.5 x 1.25" This painting is from my earlier series of Still Life paintings. Having grown up on my parent's dairy farm surrounded by nature's beauty which included my Mom's flower garden with seemingly unending blossoms and her vegetable gardens. Mom's vegetables such as squash and cucumber had such sculptural leaves and gerbera daisy leaves remind me of them. This painting makes visual my growing up experience described above, made visual through integral connections of music, intuition, and meditations over many moments in time.

oil on canvas 30 x 24" This painting is one of my new series of 18 portraits celebrating the LGBTQ community. As the mother of a son who identifies as Queer, as an American citizen and as a human being, I believe it is important to give a tribute of love to those too often ignored, discriminated against, at best misunderstood and at worst persecuted. Documenting this population’s personal stories and intimate dreams beyond their sometimes-non-conforming appearance or behaviors, is crucial to further their universal acceptance and enable them to live their lives openly and freely. Gary is a friend of a friend and he was very willing to let me paint his portrait.

acrylic on canvas 12 x 12 x 2" This painting is one of a series of 26 works that use the language of color, light and form to the boundaries between art and science and explore a holistic vision of the world. As both the daughter of a scientist and the mother of a scientist, I find the nexus art and science suggests possibilities of hope for protecting natural world. The painting teems with life and the beginnings of life: pods, whirlybirds from maple trees, and cells, interspersed with all manner of mark-making, including circles made of hatch-marks, wandering lines, spirals, and other symbols that reference prehistoric petroglyphs.

watercolor 10 x 8 x .75" Sometimes I have a specific idea for a painting before I begin and sometimes I do not. "Night Whisper" is one where I had no idea when I began where it would end up. This rather surreal watercolor took off on its own. I had no idea the column with the creepy plant-like thing would become the focus of this painting. I also had not planned for daylight to appear in the darkness until I began to paint. My art is always an adventure even for me and I hope is enjoyed.

soft pastel 12 x 12" I love capturing the essence of life with my art. Using distinctive coloring technique and imaginative approach, I depict the subtle lights, reflections and hidden hues on the subjects. The subjects are either close to my heart, telling a story, or from a memorable moment. Apple in Winter is a concept born in the middle of winter. I was drawn to the beauty of tree trunk in the snow. I was also craving the vibrant colors of spring. Being an Irish fiddler, I remembered there is a traditional tune called "Apple in Winter". Then the idea of the painting was formed. It's based on my reference photos.

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.

brown bags, handmade paper & acrylic on canvas 17 x 21" I am taken aback by the beauty and intangible qualities of natural flora, the various textures, the amazing flowers and fruits and foliage, and most of all, the spectacular rejuvenation after what appears to be a most definite death in the bleakness of a cold dark winter. My artwork is made from simple materials and feature a pioneering collage application of acrylic paint, brown paper shopping bags and canvas. Inspired by nature’s beauty, my interest in this medium relates to the cycle of life and nature. The bags start out as trees, are made into paper bags, which I recycle, paint, tear, and collage into the image of the natural world which provided the original inspiration and energy.

stone 20 x 9 x 9" Bodhisattva embodies two defining aspects of my life. It reflects my earlier interest as a Buddhist scholar and my concern for the environment in our global effort to recycle and reuse unwanted materials. The piece is made out of an old building stone discarded during renovation and other salvaged items from Community Forklift, a non-profit reuse center in the DC area. Vowing to promote spiritual awakening and save all beings, the bodhisattva aspires to enlightenment for the good of others.

oil on paper 30 x 22" Working in oil-based inks with handmade paper plates and an etching press, I created this monotype by passing the print through several iterations until I achieved the final image.

collage / work on paper 20 x 16 x 1" Genji, in his poem, names the "murasaki" or purple gromwell, because its color resembles the colour of the wisteria (in Japanese, fuji) thereby obliquely referring to Fujitsubo, "the Lady of the Wisteria Court", a woman he is violently in love with for the first part of the novel. The Tale of Genji is a classic work of Japanese literature written in the early 11th century by the noblewoman and lady-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu. The original manuscript, created around the peak of the Heian period, no longer exists.

archival pigment print on Epson Hot Press Bright Paper 25.5 x 19.5 x .628" My camera gives me the ability to reveal to others the details I find in everyday subjects that often go unobserved. Exaggerated angles of view and juxtaposition of serendipitously placed elements combine with moody, sometimes dramatic light to leave the viewer with a sense of a presence unseen but felt. My photography is about hyper-focusing on the subject to solidify my own experience and provoke a memory to surface both for the viewer and me. The absence of color allows the viewer to become immersed in the place, mood and time depicted, but leaves room for personal interpretation and imagination as well.

leather, silk, brass 14 x 8 x 22" Inspiration/intent: painting by Andes Zorn "Isabella Stewart Gardner in Venice", 1894. In the spirit of creative risk-taking, Isabella Gardner continues her mission by inspiring my sustainability project "Enigma of Footgear". I create 3-D works with outdated designer footwear, which can be perfect media for installations and sculptures with strong public statement or enigmatic silence. Enigma of Footgear is what grounds us, what connects us to the earth, and what carries us around. Isabella moves with grace and spontaneity: picks up her shoe, drapes with white silk and crowns with jewelry. She lets her swan out in the Fenway of Boston to swim in the Muddy River.

photography/digitally enhanced 24 x 18 x .5" Inspiration for this art piece comes from the poetry of Lisa Hammond. Her poem, titled “Three Fish” is of three very different fish - a wood carving, a bream, and a necklace pendant. Her poetry speaks to the world of nature, which aligns with my wildlife photography. While still figurative, this is the first photo I have exhibited that is not a living, breathing subject. I purposely developed each fish at differing exposures to express their individuality.

charcoal 28 x 18 x 1" I raced home after witnessing the total envelopment of a familiar coastline across Oyster Bay from West Neck Beach. I usually study from life for inspiration for my abstractions but this night I simply wanted to record and pay homage how uplifted and untethered I felt seeing hints of a familiar shore and knowing just where I was. I immediately made two pieces and this particular one bears mark like seagulls feet as we often see them in the sand but they (the marks) give the impression of waves softly crashing into the shore. The symbolic abstraction of the creatures who inhabit this place, being present in the marks was a surprise and a delight.

mixed media 24 x 18" "Unheard" is a striking painting that features two female figures without faces on a bold red background. The absence of faces immediately draws the viewer's attention, emphasizing the idea that women's voices are often ignored and their identities are not fully represented in society. The red background adds to the intensity of the piece, conveying the passion and frustration felt by many women who are not listened to. The title "Unheard" encapsulates the central message of the painting - that women's voices are often silenced or disregarded, particularly those who identify with more traditional feminine roles. In a time where new identities and pronouns are celebrated.

intaglio/charcoal print on paper 21 x 21 x 1" Balance, from my Pair Series, was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's ink drawing, Vitruvian Man, and my desire to include the other half of humanity into the conversation. In my intaglio/charcoal print, I add a female figure, to express the equality, and complementary nature of the sexes. While Leonardo's circle is implied, it is not shown but replaced by a star to symbolize the connection between everything in the Universe. FYI: It maybe of it interest to others that Leonardo had been inspired by the writings of Vitruvius, an ancient Roman architect.

oil on canvas 24 x 20 x .7" When I was little, I thought that all people and animals are friends. I still think, that we are all together on this Earth moving somewhere. In my painting I wanted to show the beauty and power of a rhino, and a human, who completely trusts his rhino companion. I created a night sky background, to emphasize two characters. The road, that they are taking is foggy and radiant, to maintain a mystical experience. This artwork is one of a kind. Made with high-quality professional oil paint on a gallery wrapped canvas. Painting is signed / dated on both front and back. Painted sides, unframed and ready to hang.

oil on canvas 54 x 48 x 1.25" Immersing myself in my painting process, leaving no room for thinking, I work spontaneously in an intuitive moment-to-moment way without knowing what the end result will be. Then comes a moment when the whole thing comes together and an inner voice shouts, "YES!". It is done. Stepping back and fully taking in what has emerged, my deep response suggests a title that is surprising, something I never would have "thought" of, yet feels so right. My title for this painting is a phrase that the Japanese Zen Master Dogen (1200-1253) uses as a metaphor in his "Mountains and Rivers Sutra" to refer to the whole network of interdependent origination in which we are all constantly coming and going. The whole universe is continually changing and we are one with this movement.

oil on canvas 36 x 24 x 1.75" My personal story continues to drive my artistic life. A citizen of two countries, I am in debt to both, and battle against feelings of disloyalty, so, always a parent, I try to give attention to both, at the same time coping with the frequent crises of family life. Sometimes, I am Alice down the hole, baffled, surrounded by crazy creatures, questioning my sanity and the reality of things, then I focus on the beauty and structure of nature, and wisdom returns. This is the essence of my work.

drypoint print with embossing 8 x 6" The dry point “My Eumenides” was inspired by the haunting visions described in the memoirs of Thomas De Quincey "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater." Opium was De Quincey’s escape ticket out of the wretched reality of early 19th century London. In his nightmares, we can see a parallel to the confusion and angst humankind experiences in post-modern times and our dangerous need to sedate ourselves from pain. A series of wondrous and terrifying scenes, "Confessions" compels the reader to visualize the spectacular architecture of De Quincey’s dream world. By making solid the nightmares of societal and personal failings, this book continues to illuminate human suffering.

acrylic, paper, & ink on panel 16 x 32 x 2" My artwork merges the precision of geometric shapes and structures with the organic forms of botanical elements. My abstract and colorful compositions represent the harmony that can be achieved when nature and science are combined. My art reflects my belief that beauty can be found in the balance between chaos and order and the ability of art to bring them together. Using my engineering background and artistic sensibility, I strive to create joyful, dynamic, and captivating artwork that reflects the complexity of nature coexisting in our manufactured world.

acrylic on canvas 30 x 30 x 7/8" My passion for abstract and semi-abstract painting and mixed media stems from decades of looking at modern and contemporary art in museums and galleries throughout the U.S. and Europe. Mixed media and abstract painting allow an artist the freedom to interpret their reality and meet the challenges of expressing their reactions to that reality through the use of colors, shapes, textures, and composition.

acrylic on paper 6 x 4" Working primarily with acrylic, one of my passions is to explore different surfaces, media and techniques creating new challenging endeavors. I love the experimentation and the inspiring dynamics. Besides the exuberant energy of colors, material and texture I also get a lot of inspiration by the ambiance and my personal emotions. What an extraordinary sensation it is to experience the energy we all are surrounded by and then to translate it into a painting! This is a continuing, intimate process. Listening to my inner voice has become a very important part of my creativity; yet, it is never an easy task to do. Last but not least, there is the always-possible element of surprise adding a unique, special effect to my abstract artwork. The combination and interaction of all these factors affect my work deeply by making it strong and powerful. There are no boundaries in art. To me, this synthesis is my art.

acrylic on paper 16 x 16" The Southwest US national parks never fail to inspire me. Having recently spent time in Arches, Canyonlands, and Capital Reef National Parks, I was entranced. Their magnificent sandstone arches, natural bridges and other geologic formations, set against intense blue skies, captivated my imagination. Powerful forces of nature fashioned these breath-taking landscapes over millions and millions of years. I am reminded there that we humans are new to the earth; this perspective gives me pause and centers my spirit, as does the act of painting them.

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 my own underlying order amid nature's chaos. Using drawing and mark making with charcoal and graphite and painting with layered oils, I generate an imagined reality. Draw/erase. Paint/scrape. Again. And again. A ghost remains. I work toward a bilateral glimpse of interconnectedness between what we can see and what we imagine we can see--a superficial and subterranean geography. The resulting blend of drawing and painting awakens the unknown and casts the familiar in new light.

My morning walks are consumed with taking smartphone photos of shapes, textures, patterns; many of which have inspired my textiles. Additionally collaged images are posted to my social media. Often others respond that these images cause them to look more closely at their surroundings as they move about in their daily lives. Whether pattern, shape, movement or color, the natural world provides endless inspiration.
