Boxed "Boxed" is my story of isolation. Painted at the tail end of the pandemic, I feel it applies univarsally to all feelings of isolation. The viewer of this painting is repeatedly drawn down into a deep box, but then urged upward into the open ends, evoking feelings of hope and release.

Still Life: Green and Orange Study Size: 18 x 24 I am constantly hoarding; filling my studio with empty plastic bottles and discarded packaging. I commemorate these objects through painting before I let them go. My work investigates consumerism, environmentalism, and sentimentality under the framework of Western still-life painting traditions. However, I reach for formal haphazardness, letting my eyes wander around the dark, messy corners of my studio until they land naturally on interesting moments. I then zoom in and out of this potential composition, not moving anything but rather adjusting my own body’s placement in relation to what is already there. I transform candy wrappers and tabletops into odd, illogical spaces. The result is a traffic jam of bottles and forgotten Post-It notes, rendered almost unintelligible. I paint from life in oil paint, experimenting with colorful lighting. Though I am looking intensely at the tableau set before me, I am an unreliable narrator, creating visual puzzles and selective realities.

Quilt Top Study: Into the Woods Size: 14 x 11.5 My "Quilt Top Studies" pay tribute to the module workers in my family, masons and quiltmakers, whose influence made me receptive to early palpable, systemic Conceptual Art. My sculpture, acrylic shaped canvas constructions in installation, collages and prints have resulted from this synthesis.

Afternoon Nap Size: 4.5 x 14 My life long love of dogs and the pleasures of their companionship inspired me to capture this moment of trust and rest and to share it with you. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  

Alley in Bloom Size: 8 x 10 Inspired by the quiet charm of Italian alleys, this painting layers wax and pigment to evoke cobblestones, flowering windows, and the final glow of sunset. A moment suspended between light and shadow, where nature and nostalgia meet. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Dynamic Interplay Size: 36 x 36 I have been working with gesture, capturing a moment in time. This painting emerged from those efforts, somewhat as a surprise. As every artist knows, sometimes your intentions occur without struggle and it is time to stop and go with the image before you.

Approaching Storm, Marina Day's End Size: 9 x 12 This was an Adirondacks plein air location, on Lake Champlain as a storm approached at the of the day. Boats rushed in and then tied up tight and sudden quiet tension, bracing for the storm. I worked to get it done and dismantle the easel before the first drop of rain. Stormy times we are living in now and when this was painted not long ago. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  

Benedum Size: 20 x 16 This is a street view of the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts located in downtown Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. It really could be any city’s skyline on a beautiful night with stars in the sky and twinkling lights reflecting in a fountain. I took the picture which led to the painting with the hopes of capturing the excitement in the air before a thrilling performance. My technique of using palette knives to spread the oil paint on the canvas enables me to stay loose with undefined edges letting the minds eye complete the structure. Oil paint is the perfect medium for applying layers to create texture that adds movement and definition. The dark moody colors let the electric lights glow. Creatively this painting captures a night on the town! Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  

Shedding Birch Bark Size: 14 x 11 In the spring when trees are in bloom all around our home, I am always intrigued by watching their leaves and flowers grow. In an area near our house we have White Birch trees, and the shedding of the bark has always fascinated me. It reminds me of snakes shedding their skin. Ths process for birch trees is a natural process as the trunk expands and makes way for new growth. The colors and shapes of the shedding bark are so colorful amd interesting. Another mystery of Mother Nature. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  

Poetry Size: 28 x 22 Walking in New Orleans, I was delighted to see poets busking, the way musicians do. People lined up to buy their poems, written for them on the spot. The poem I received was a beautiful reflection on the subject of daughters. I was inspired to make this painting in tribute to the work of poets.

Salvaged Respite Size: 16 x 7 Like so many, I currently find myself unmoored, living in a world I recognize less and less each day. I oscillate between feeling called to stand up, and speak up, for humanity, and seeking shelter from all the noise. While I have always been drawn to the understated, underappreciated, underutilized elements I stumble upon, I find myself now, more than ever, leaning hard on these castaways, looking for some semblance of comfort in their quiet simplicity. What has been, in the past, a playful interaction between materials feels like something different, something more somber and muted.

Epiphytes 11 Size: 25 x 6 x 4 My art is inspired by the natural world and considers the underlying impacts of human intervention, climate change, and the lessons learned from nature. “Epiphytes 11” is part of a series of wet felted wool 3-D sculptures inspired by plants that host other living plants on their surfaces. The host provides space but not nourishment; the epiphytes are not parasitic and do no harm to their hosts. The examples of symbiotic relationships that nature showcases should be a blue print for humans to strive to achieve a balance that safeguards the earth, our host.

Moroccan mystique Size: 24 x 30 Memories of a trip to Morocco last year inspired me to create a series of paintings of doors. I call this my "Portal Series". There are 10 "portals"(so far) in this collection. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  

Women in the Sticks Size: 36 x 50 x 6.25 I work both 2 and 3 dimensionally and always with the female figure often layering the form with marks or in this case branches. These two figures represent my love of ancient forms, natural environments and are to allude to the spirits I encounter in the woods. Lastly, as a child I lived in a rural place, which my friends all called “the sticks” so I have come back full circle to my origins. The figures are carved cedar 5 x 5 x 36 inches and the branches reach and shroud and surround them.
