painted steel wire on wood panel
23 x 26 x 2"
My art depicts a broad and embracing perspective of human closeness to allow viewers' imaginations to respond in as open a way as possible. My parents suffered extreme early traumas that left them fearful of others. Their influence was a huge obstacle for me to overcome. As a result, I am sensitive to the damage to people, communities, and nations when fear prevents us from finding trust through recognition of our similarities and negotiation of our differences.

painted steel wire on wood panel 17 x 12 x 1" My art is about closeness and the play of tensions that exist in our relationships. It has always centered the human figure, growing from single-figure studies to the portrayal of interacting groups. It directly reflects how deeply a desire for closeness has always existed in me. My parents suffered extreme early traumas, leaving them fearful of exploitation by strangers and uncomfortable in communities. As a result, I am extremely sensitive to the damage to people, communities, and nations when we are not able to become close and find trust through recognition of our similarities and negotiation of our differences.

Span Steel on Wood Base Size of Piece: 26 x 38 x 6 "Span" is part of my Urban Series, growing up in downtown Chicago instilled in me a love for construction. The ever-changing overhead landscape of steel, cables and cranes sparkling in the light is in sharp contrast to the packed streets below. The message is one of hope as we build our future together.

clay 2 x 3 x 5" How can someone shoot a child? This is a young boy shielding a little girl in her classroom. I envision these two huddling next to a wall displaying preschool art, by an overturned desk, and away from a door. As much as he tries to protect her, he cannot. Wearing her favorite dress and he, his favorite hat and hoodie, their day began as any other. Unlike my other work, sculpting this was an emotional challenge that brought tears to my eyes until I had to stop. How do we make it stop?

Photography 14 x 11.75" Travelling into New York City, camera in hand, I leaned as far as possible out the passenger window to capture the incredible, repeating patterns in the Williamsburg Bridge as it skyrocketed over me like a giant erector set while the arched lampposts created a graceful dance-like rhythm along the edge. I used extreme angles, heightened contrast and an intuitive, geometric sense of composition to prompt the viewer to take a closer look and come away with a deeper appreciation of the "ordinary." In the words of Henry David Thoreau, "The question is not what you look at, but what you see."

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. "The question is not what you look at, but what you see." - Henry David Thoreau

War destroys a country’s infrastructure thereby disrupting the chain of food production. This, in turn, leads to the vicious cycle of yet more unrest and violence. Children living in war-torn countries such as Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, Nigeria, Ukraine, and Palestine are very likely to be malnourished and ravaged by stomach-aching hunger. Where there is war and conflict, children are dying at a rate unfathomable to our well-fed sensibilities. How can we, as flourishing members of the global community, prevent these unnecessary and endless conflicts, these wars that result in the heartless deaths of millions of children?

They provide sustenance and livelihood to its historic residents.

Color is the driving force behind all of my art, and experimenting with a variety of mediums, materials, and sizes is an integral part of my creative process. In the painting Origami, thin layers of acrylic paint are glazed onto the canvas to give the illusion of light filtering through vibrant color. The effect of the loose brush strokes further enhance the softness of the light and give the paintings a more textural feel.

acrylic on canvas 33 x 33 x 2" These paintings are part of a series I am now working on called Organic Abstractions.

As always color takes center stage. It is the driving force behind all of my work.. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Collage on deep wood panel 15.75 x 20 x 2.75"Symbiotic is part of a series called “Lessons From The Trees.“ It was inspired by Suzanne Simard and her research into North American forests. In her book titled “Finding The Mother Tree,” she explains that she discovered forest life is interconnected through an underground network of tree roots and fungi feeding and healing each other. This symbiotic relationship reminds us that we as a species have also survived throughout history in a similar interdependent manner—families and societies nurturing one another. This work of collage on board includes original photographs, hand-tinted papers, acrylic paint, pencil and ink.

digital 7 x 10" Creative Spirit Unveiled: Inspired by the holistic concepts of space and time in Indigenous cultures, I explore ways to use light, reflections, shadows, and delicately balanced spatial relationships to reveal the spiritual strength and synergy that evolve with creative expression.

oil on wood panel 9 x 12" I've loved the ocean since growing up on Long Island as a child.

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.

This painting was prompted by my walks in southwest Florida this Spring, when the weather is perfect and color abounds. I enjoy getting lost in the tropical forests of Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and the Naples Botanical Gardens, often getting "caught in the nettles" and savoring the flora and wildlife of our region -- bobcats, the endangered FL panther, alligators, and wonderful birds. I journal my experiences, writing a verse as I paint out my impressions and memories of these ventures.

Inside Story Acrylic on Canvas Size: 11 x 14 My commitment to abstraction lies not in deciphering a clear path through the process but instead in embracing the pleasure of wandering and finding joy in the journey of being lost. I strive for dynamic and unpredictable compositions with elements that collide, balance, dangle, and hint at unexpected outcomes and intentional disparity. This disparity reflects my reaction to the day-to-day trickster that is life. The pieces submitted draw inspiration from the perceptual landscape, capturing nature through the prisms of memory, sensory experience, and artistic interpretation.

In Heart to Heart Tea Talk, I explore the idea of connections that bind us as humans and invoke memories of past and present. The painting is an invitation to remember a special time as you perhaps had a tea party or shared a warm cup of something with a dear one. It was created during a time of turmoil to escape, meditate and process all that was happening in the world. They build and reveal themselves as I add traces of lace as a symbol of nurturing. I scan, print and collage handwriting, and add more layers to create a rich surface.

Her garbled text alerted me that something was wrong. I’ll never forget that moment. Today, she has just about fully recovered from her stroke. Please Come Over is in response to the urge I felt receiving that text. The Pillow Giant is comfort from the “Land of Counterpane" by Robert Louis Stevenson. She used to read me. Figments and Fragments refers to the thoughts that for her, are still concrete and the rest that floats around in the periphery of her brain hard to grasp.They celebrate life.acrylic on panel

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.

Bogie is Bogie Acrylic on Canvas Size: 12 x 9 I’m a self-taught artist and have been around art my whole life. My mother painted, and my painter-uncle mentored with Yasuo Kunyoshi. Being from NY, I’ve often haunted the Met, MoMA, and the Whitney for years. I have a BA in theatre & English. An ESL teaching certificate, and Culinary Arts certificate. I’ve worked in theatre, film and television. For more than a dozen years I’ve worked with curators as a writer of museum exhibition audio tours. I started painting about ten years ago, often inspired by classic monuments in Italy where I spend time yearly. I want to create poetic interpretations freeing solid life from static poses. Recently, I’ve been diving in portraiture, in my naive style…colorful representations, loosening up the obvious.
