She Commands the Current oil on canvas 16 x 12 This work honors my woman ancestors—those whose strength, intelligence, and intuitive ways of knowing were often unrecognized or unnamed. Their legacy is carried forward through the body, through perception, and through an increasing attunement to unseen forces. The electrical lines extending outward suggest transmission as much as reception: the figure absorbs cosmic energy while simultaneously radiating it back into the world. I dedicate this to my late mother, a woman who was a conduit of power, perception, and inherited knowledge. She stands beneath a luminous moon, her gaze lifted and unwavering, as if listening to frequencies beyond the visible world. The currents radiating from her head are both electric and ancestral—visual manifestations of intuition sharpened over time and wisdom accumulated through lived experience. The moon functions as a cosmic anchor, symbolizing cyclical time, memory, and the enduring presence of those who came before. Its craters echo the marks of age on the figure’s face, reinforcing the idea that time leaves evidence not as damage, but as history. The woman’s crossed arms and grounded posture convey authority and self-possession. She is not passive beneath the cosmos; she is in dialogue with it. Aging, in this painting, is depicted as an expansion of consciousness. With time comes a heightened sensitivity to patterns, rhythms, and truths that transcend the individual self. This figure embodies the idea that as we age, we grow closer to the cosmos—not by leaving the body behind, but by fully inhabiting it, charged with memory, lineage, and luminous awareness.

Mother Nature in Control oil on canvas with seed beads 16 x 16 Mother Nature controls the natural world. She nurtures, but she has the power to destroy. Mother Nature represents the interconnection of the living. My piece was inspired by this power and the fact that this power, throughout time, has been personified as being female. My Mother Nature in within the wings of a dove and she is wrapped in floral growth. She is within the darkness of night. She is powerful. She is with what is good. She is our story.

To My Favorite G.I. collage, acrylic, charcoal on panel 24 x 24 During World War II, my father wrote more than 500 letters to my mother while fighting in the Pacific Theater. Two works from my Between the Lines series—"To My Favorite G.I." and "Left Behind"—focus on the women and girls whose lives unfolded in the shadow of those letters and events. "To My Favorite G.I." incorporates original correspondence and photographs my mother received from overseas. Her image became a lifeline—proof that love, beauty, and constancy still existed amid chaos. On the back of one small photograph she wrote, “To my favorite G.I.” The term “G.I.” was not anonymous to her; it was intimate. A coded declaration of belonging, resilience, and hope. This work honors the countless young women who stayed behind to wait, work, worry, and believe. "Left Behind" turns to the quieter, often overlooked experience of children shaped by war. Lorraine stands suspended between innocence and fear, forced into emotional adulthood by absence. Her story reflects generations of young girls whose lives were irrevocably altered by conflicts they did not choose. Together, these paintings bear witness to longing, faith, and endurance carried by the women and girls who held families, memories, and futures together while history unfolded around them. In creating these works, I sought to capture what could not always be spoken—the quiet strength, unresolved longing, and inner faith that sustained those at home. Through layered imagery, fragmented text, and partial concealment, the paintings mirror how memory, love, and absence coexist, shaping lives long after the war has ended.

Ghost Story, Chapter 3 _ visiting with her memories pored watercolors and fluid acrylics on paper 17 x 18 Painting , for me, is an opportunity to retreat into my imagination and tell a "story”. As I paint, I work to cultivate artwork that tells a narrative about an experience from the point of view of the protagonist. In this painting, I worked with water-media to create an image that is inspired by the life of an elderly woman’s experiences. In “ghost story, chapter 3 _Visiting with her memories” my central character is living for today while she considers her past, in terms of her memories.
