photography 20 x 15 x 1" A tale of roaming freely through experiences, the landscapes of memory are recalled. Bits and pieces of dreams long ago nicknamed - a pencil cup of dreams. A release occurs unexpectedly. A letting go of all the things a restless soul moved from, and instead, moves toward. A presence is found that is within us - after all is said and done.

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.

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.

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. I started picking shards up and seeing them to artwork. The shards on this work were picked up by a school Where many plastic Easter eggs had been run over by cars & seemed to go very well with the colors in my print.

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.

Spring FlingSize: 24 x 24" This work joins a series of encaustic works musing on the meaning of “security”. I use the interior patterns of security envelopes—used to protect our financial information—in hexagonal shapes that suggest traditional quilts—maybe security blankets. This work includes the use of India ink. Now that our assumptions about Social Security are being tested it seems appropriate to think of this work as “Spring Fling” —the double meaning of having security flung to the winds in an ortherwise heady season.

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.

Sky Eyes Motheroil on linen paintingSKY EYES MOTHER - This oil painting is from my Vanishing Women series.: Sky Eyes Mother is about femicide and violence against women My beautiful niece disappeared in 2016. My sister's eyes have become the infinite sky as she continues to hold her sleeping child. The sacred drum beats a warning - calling attention to the continuing tragedy of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Note the corn on left. This is Corn Mother, the mother of the people. I am an multidisciplinary artist of Abenaki descent. I use indigenous iconography and ancient narratives to comment on contemporary social issues. My paintings explore the liminal space between abstraction and representation, mother and landscape, spectacle and solitude.

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. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

SoldPainting 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.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.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 on canvas

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.

Icy Dawn Oil on linen panel Size: 16 x 12" I was on my way to the gym at dawn for a swim workout when I noticed the sky and its reflection on the frozen lake.

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.Layered Fused Glass

Outside Caffé de la Paix, Rome ItalyAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.photography: digitally enhancedSize: 7 x 10.5I am an artist-photographer-educator and photojournalism is paramount to my photographic work. On the street offers glimpses of life frozen in time. I favor urban environments as places that afford a hubbub of activity with people moving in their own spaces and unaware of others around them. This particular image is from a trip to Rome and made after breakfast with my son at Caffé de la Paix (Café of Peace) on Via di Tor Millina. While the chef in the café prepped and served us food, we had a great conversation with him and tips on places to visit and food to experience. We left the café and I turned around and saw this same gentleman step out for a smoke break (very common in Europe!) and I knew this was the image I wanted to capture. He framed the street activity.

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.

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.Hand-cut rice paper, historical element, NY Times 15 x 15"
