  • photography 18 x 24" While photographing one very cold morning in New York City, I noticed a woman approaching half a block away.. She reminded me of my sister. Using some plastic sheeting hanging from a doorway as a filter I made an image at a slow shutter speed. Upon returning home I found it. There she was. My sister never said goodbye as I had arrived too late.that fateful day. This felt like my moment to do so.

  • oil on canvas 36 x 72 x 2" Ambiguities and allusions of depth offer thoughts to individual and varied interpretations, as do all the common experiences we have as humans, no matter where we happen to be born. I’m keenly aware of the passage of the lives that have inhabited our small earth and respect what their labors have left for us. Moodiness, reflection and intrigue are a part of everyone's world, not completely and clearly understood. One can read their own interpretation of mysterious fog and manmade walkways made safer by fencing. The indistinct movements of water give hope for sustenance of life. Pathways suggest individual and varied interpretations.

  • oil on canvas 13.25 x 13.25 x 2.5" A lone flapping curtain tossed by the wind could be a commentary on the fragility of life or a sign of optimism. Looming and moving clouds cast an eye on the measure of the progress of our existence on earth. Proffered shelter in the warmth of the buildings renew our hope for the future.

  • Printmaking Ocean Currents Size: 20 x 20 Framed Size: 24 x 24 Hearing about plastics impacting ocean life and also microplastics in our bodies caused me to see small shards everywhere.

  • encaustic 24 x 24 x 2"
    The hot flow of encaustic color is beginning to phase out my previously tightly controlled assembly of patterned hexagons. Those are still referenced in my work and their optical effect is still noticeable,—what is new is greater freedom in the fungible marks of hot encaustics—letting the lava flow & fuse. The pigments sparkle in my newest works.

  • 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.

  • The Butterfly Dance Oil on Linen Size of Piece: 36 x 36 My art practice in oil and plein air painting is a fusion of scientific precision and artistic expression, capturing the intricate details of human and animal anatomies alongside the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. My works, such as the graceful dance of an full figured nude woman with a Swallowtail butterfly and the solitary figure of a man walking away from a woman who loves him, into a lush, curvilinear, New York State landscape, reflect a deep engagement with nature's beauty juxtaposed against the looming threat of environmental catastrophe. I am an interdisciplinary artist of Abenaki descent, weaving indigenous iconography and ancient narratives into contemporary commentary. My paintings explore the liminal spaces between abstraction and representation, the male and the female, spectacle and solitude, where I challenge these dichotomies to reveal a more nuanced reality. In my work, impending doom casts a shadow over scenes of beauty, chaos, and apocalypse, inviting a dialogue on the fragility of our environment. Through this lens, I employ oil painting not just for its traditional beauty but for its capacity to convey the urgency of ecological issues. My art is a synthesis of science and spirituality, where each brushstroke is an act of both celebration and warning.

  • Mixed Media Painting American Art Spirit 20 x 16 x 2 in. The American Art Spirit is an oil painting of a male dancer in jeans leaping gracefully across the Hudson River. Painted en plein air on the shores of Rhinebeck, NY, I captured the movement of the water as it flows both ways late in the day. My model and intern, Guy, embodies the human beauty that fascinates me—the muscles, nerves, bones—the whole human package. For me, contemplating nature and the body is a sacrament. Inspired by NAC founder Robert Henri, I aim to express the American spirit through this painting.

    Painting en plein air, in Rhinecliff, on the shore of  the Hudson, by the tracks where Lincoln's death train passed, I make my humble, everyday watercolor and consider carefully the way that two lines of infinite length seem to connect on the horizon, I think of the thousands and thousands of young men who died all can be equal in America. I seem to see the ghost of Lincoln, shimmering on the event horizon, "With the tolling tolling bells' perpetual clang, Here, coffin that slowly passes, I give you my sprig of lilac." - Walt Whitman I turn to the East and see an everyday field, no big stuff, nothing picturesque.

  • acrylic on canvas
    24 x 26" My work opens a platform for discussion on the topics of resilience, trauma and cultural displacement. I seek to bring awareness to the emotional baggage and the struggle that survivors have to conceal in daily life by exploring psychological connection to daily life environments. My large-scale oil paintings employ portraits of individuals behind masks, elements of wreckage and fragments of nostalgic interiors creating an intersection between reality and idealization, between opportunities and limitations, between grand and mundane. Somehow, presence and absence could exist separately and together in parallel. Traumatic life experiences such as childhood separation from family and from home, war, as well as my becoming a mother during the Covid-19 pandemic have created layers of fog over memories. In my studio practice I dissect, peel, slice, unveil and reorganize extreme experiences to make sense of the fragmented and the destroyed in search of a feeling of belonging.

  • 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.

  • Layered Fused Glass
    5 x 5 x 1" I am drawn to glass as a medium because glass has a wonderful physical property, transparent or opaque, allowing you to see the illusion of space and depth. This causes a magical flow, embodying fun, playfulness, and spiritual energy. This can be healing, by holding you in the present moment to enjoy that magic, be enthralled, look within, and be charmed so you forget the world’s challenges.

  • oil 20 x 20 x 2" From the Invisible Women Collection: Voyeur is small to replicate the sensation of peering into a closed space. Apprehensive, yet drawn to that upstairs window, we are unable to resist the temptation of looking inside, but feel guilty for invading someone’s privacy. The figure may have gone unnoticed. Returning outside, one might see that the odd sizing of the brick exterior is both curious and uncomfortable, dreamlike in the way it feels warped from sitting in the sun. This peculiar patterning draws us down to a solitary figure looking out a darkened window below, penned in, trapped, invisible.

  • fused glass 14 x 14" Glass is a very technical medium and my journey has been to learn different glass kiln-forming techniques to intertwine them together. My intention with new glass artwork is to start using glass sheets, crushed glass, glass stringers, glass powders and enamels to create images that go beyond the definition of fused glass (kiln-forming glass). Combining my artistic ability of drawing/painting to the glass elements allows the glass to appear as if I am painting with glass and giving it a magical flow.

  • Hand-cut rice paper, historical element, NY Times 15 x 15"
    Nabeshima Nagako (1855-1941) was an elegant lady of Japanese high society from the Meiji period to the early Showa era. In April 1881 Nagako married Nabeshima Naohiro, eleventh and final daimyo of the Saga Domain in Rome, Italy, where he was performing official duties. Nagako served as secretary and chair of the Volunteer Nurses Association of the Japanese Red Cross Society from 1887 to 1936 as well as president of the Oriental Women's Association. The Full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn was my inspiration for this mystical piece. The beauty of the blue cosmos in the night sky abounds over the golden butterflies and dragonflies in my garden this summer. Often, butterflies will appear in our dreams. Seeing butterflies is an invitation to see our transformative possibilities. The Ionic Roman Columns are ancient honeyed relics from past loves -- memories we hold dear.

    Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who was born in Yamaguchi, Japan. When she was two years old, she was at home about one mile away from ground zero, when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Sadako was blown out of the window and her mother ran outside to find her, suspecting she may be dead, but instead found her two-year-old daughter alive with no apparent injuries. While they were fleeing the atomic blast, Sadako and her mother were caught in black rain. She survived for another ten years, becoming one of the most widely known "hibakusha" -- a Japanese term meaning "bomb-affected person" and later died of malignant lymph gland leukemia in 1955.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • 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.

  • Koi Fish: Where's Dinner Pastel on Paper Size: 11 x 14 I am a modernist, realist, figurative painter, and I love to paint scenes from my travels and everyday life which tell a story. I take a subject which I find beautiful or interesting, and paint it in a way that allows the viewer to see it realistically for what it is, with a touch of mystery or style added to emphasize the other forces going on below the surface. With oils, I accomplish this by using an acrylic underpainting, which I allow to show through in places. In soft pastels, I use watercolor, inks, or alcohol washes for the underpainting. For example in “Three Wise Men”, I used a multicolored geometric pattern as an underpainting to give the viewer an added perspective. I love to paint my stories, and my goal is to have the viewer enter my world and share in my experiences.

The layered veils of color reflect a fragile luminous quality.

    Fire and Ice is a plea for us to recognize our profound interconnection with all life on earth, the impact of humanity's disconnection from the natural world and from each other. It offers solace and a recognition of the inherent beauty of our natural world even as It highlights the need to address this existential challenge. My intention is for Fire and Ice to be part of the great web of healing. I invite you to engage with the painting, lose yourself in its details, meditate on its meanings, and to carry those messages into your daily lives.
