ClockHands Oil & sculptural elements on canvas wrapped board Size of Piece: 49 x 46 These sculptural paintings are my own original style. I work with the paint and the construction at the same time, merging the two. Although this art could be listed as wall hung sculpture (relief) or as painting alone, neither description would be accurate. They are a combination of both disciplines which interact so completely that neither would be complete without the other. Unlike "assemblage" or "found object" sculpture these works are not 3D collages with elements highlighted by color. Instead through the use of many tints and tones of gray, the relief elements are subtly integrted with the painting. one flowing into the other.The colors themselves are controlled, yet full of variety, and held to a low intensity so as not to compete with the three dimensional elements. This work uses gloves as hands to help create a clock. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Wish (The Escape) Alabaster Size of Piece: 30 x 15 x 6 This life size torso is a self portrait, created during a tumultuous time in my life. The cloth on the side rises up and the weave turns into forms that become birds, taking flight across the neck. The birds represent my yearning for freedom from a frightening, stifling relationship. I had to hide this stone as I was working on it, to prevent losing it. The day came when I was free, like the birds made from my own hands. This piece gives me a feeling of hope and joy because of the time shared together. It is uncanny how Wish holds natural light, glowing wherever it's placed. I now show it illuminated, to bring forth the true feeling of the piece. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Sudden Breeze Bronze Size of Piece: 21 x 7 x 9 As I walked to my studio, inspiration struck me. A sudden gust of wind swept through me, enveloping me in its embrace.

Spirit Vessel with Gold Markings Shellac and gold flake on hardened cartapesta Size of Piece: 52 x 15 The sculpture explores the imprint of time, history, and mind on the interaction of materials, as experienced in myth, spirit, and the body. For this piece I created an armature of a young woman and wrapped her like an ancient Egyptian deity in layers of paper soaked in hardening agents. When she dried, I pulled her spirit’s shell away from the armature, creating a hollow vessel that viewers can look into to see where her spirit had once lived. Inside there remains a sense of beautiful nothingness that has joined the larger mind that flows through time, consciousness , relationships, challenges and opportunities. The outer Vessel shell represents the memory of love having passed through it, and I adorned it with golden circles and a triangle, symbols of perfection, strength and wealth.

Under Pressure Wood-fired stoneware, mink, cedar, iron Size of Piece: 22 x 20 x 8 Human Interference with Earth is the concept of this work. I grew up on the Iron Range in northern Minnesota where open pit, strip mining affected everyone's lives- positively and negatively. Today the scars of the iron ore mines still and forever will mark the earth. Today, I question mining methods and the impact on the earth's natural resources. In some instances, mining aids economic growth, but at what cost? Fresh water, air, wildlife and human habitat are under pressure.

Alas . . . I Knew Him, Horatio Acrylic on Fabric Size of Piece: 13 x 12 x 4 I choose articles of clothing for my images in an intuitive manner.

Taken Raspberry Alabaster Size of Piece: 17 x 13 x 10 One night in April, 2014, 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Nigeria were kidnapped by a terrorist group called Boko Haram. This horrific news transfixed me and I made my sculpture, 'Taken', in response. I worked on the piece for months as their story remained alive for me, even as it faded in the news. In the time since, the 'Me Too' movement has publicized the global pervasiveness of sexual abuse, violence and repression. Artworks should hold the mirror, too.

Through the Hollow WoodMonotype: Acrylic on Sumi Paper and YUPO, CollageSize: 5.5 x 5.5I use stencils and masks which I have made from YUPO, a synthetic material, to use in creating monotype prints. The build up of color and pattern on the stencils/masks over time creates interest of its own which, in turn, adds an intriguing element when combined as a collage elements with my monotypes. I use a chair motif in much of my work as a metaphor for human feelings. The chair in this piece may suggest a sense of reflection or, perhaps, a journey, or something uniquely personal to the person viewing it.

Seashore Reverie Digital Photograph Size of Piece: 11 x 14 For this photograph I used Olympus camera. The Image left a deep impression of intensity of color value, lights and darks as a focal point reflected from the water's surface. I saw reds, blues and yellow color as primary and large areas are in orange and green as secondary colors.. There is some Value contrast of whites creating a sense of volumetric depth. I apply some gradation values which provide contours to detail forms of water surface with some increase of color intensity in order to bring the image to life.

Look Up and Listen to the Starssmall marble headSize: 8 x 6 x 6This small 2022 marble sculpture is an invitation for stargazing. More than half of the world's population lives in cities so we forget and overlook the innate relationship with the Universe. Beyond light pollution, there exists above our heads the same night sky, the same Milky Way, the same stars and galaxies that make no difference whatsoever between humans on Earth who might, if they wish to do so, look up and learn more about the sound waves of stars.

Night of the Soul Collagraph Print Size of Piece: 5 x 7
This piece captures the chaos of the night. A collagraph, like many printing techniques, reveals itself to you as it comes off the press, much like the night magically turns into day. The interplay of lights and darks describe my nights of short bursts of sleep contrasted with wakefulness. There's a dreamy yet also unsettling aspect to the piece.
It was created with a substrate of cardboard, inks that were applied and wiped away, printed in pieces. The line work adds to its mystery.

Outside Caffé de la Paix, Rome Italyphotography: 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.

Into the Blue Nightscape Mixed Pastel/ Acrylics, Pencil Size of Piece: 9.75 x 6.5 I set a challenge for myself –my foray into COLOR language. Explore its symbolic memory-stories told with color/texture/value. Paint–THEN read the story. A HAZY landscape- going in or leaving all behind? Dawn or dusk? A middle vertical space parting- a door to a Soft Blue life beyond? Anchored by a bold horizontal Yellow (a barrier to overcome?) A Blue and Yellow contradiction ! Below- Airy Blue-Green path detouring to the right. Above- hovering Blue/Magenta- weighting on our will to move forward? The Thrill of Blue-Blue Shadows-Sacred Blue- Blue Gods Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mexican Dancer Digital Photograph Size of Piece: 17.25 x 12.5 x 1 I love photographing people on the street. "Mexican Dancer", one of my earliest works was taken in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and it was during a show that took place on the beach. The beautiful colors of the dancer's dress, as well as the elegant motion, inspired me to take this portrait. I waited for the moment she paused after the dance was over. This piece did take a bit of post processing, to darken the background, which was very busy. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
