Acrylic 12 x 12" I love to work in series, and Coastal Basin is part of my Coastal series. This ongoing body of work is inspired by the coast of New England where I have lived all my life. Morning walks to sunrise show me colors, textures, patterns, shapes and forms that I borrow and rearrange in my studio to re-create the essence of that moment.

Watercolor 8 x 10" My small paintings center on spaces from my imagination that reflect reality but do not represent it, much like a surreal dream. I rarely know where a painting is going when I begin working. I am rather obsessed with the moon, architecture, texture, and pattern. I also enjoy mixing perspective. I want my small, intimate paintings to feel large.This painting, “Garden of the Harvest Moon”, is an abstraction of ideas incorporating my interests in the above areas.

Oil 12 x 8" Skies offer the challenge of describing infinitely variable light, color expression and forms that appear three dimensional but also porous, translucent or reflective. My skies series, dependent on one moment’s light, are also about temporality in nature and our lives; the ongoing metamorphosis witnessed in the clouds that mimics the unstoppable sea of change we ride in life. I find every attribute from fearsome power, stunning beauty to quiet sublimity reflected across the sky. I hope to evoke the metaphorical display of life’s fragility, to give testament to life’s volatility and emotional range, and to celebrate elusive earthly moments when condensation and weather create something so humanly resonate.

Oil 10 x 10" There’s no denying the allure of fresh warm peaches with their soft fuzz and intoxicating summer scent. These Georgia beauties were brought home as a special treat by my daughter. She had stopped at a fruit stand outside of Savannah, which just happened to be in the parking lot of a “gentlemen’s” club named Temptations. We had a good laugh when I chose the title, Summer Temptations, a little inside joke between us.

Acrylic 12 x 12" XOXO speaks to choosing joy in the midst of fear and opening your heart despite the danger that you may feel great pain and sorrow. When my son and his wife were expecting our first grandchild, we anxiously waited and watched… for this was a very complicated and dangerous pregnancy. From the moment I learned she was pregnant, I decided to feel all the joy, all the excitement, and let the fear take a backseat. This painting was created as we waited.

Pastel 13.5 x 11" The painting of the “ profile of Harry” was in inspired by my trip to South Africa this past November.I travel a lot and pastels are much easier to transport. For the past 2 1/2 years my journey using this medium has proven to be inspiring and challenging. I mainly work on pastelmat for it allows many layers for the richness of the medium.

Fiber Art 15 x 15" Creating The Great Divide was a fusion of my passion for mixed media, collage and meditative stitching. My process was quite intuitive, beginning with painted cheesecloth fabric and a palette of neutrals, blues and greens in fabric and a gel print on rice paper. After creating my collage, I began to stitch with thread. Not only did my stitching act as the “glue” for my collage, but it created mark making and texture. The strong cork fabric diagonal provided me with the title, The Great Divide.

Oil 15 x 15" What began as a life painting session, The Chanteuse and the Nightingale evolved as a conceptual painting that recognizes the model, Mozelle Andrulot, and her talents as a jazz singer. With the loveliest sound of all song birds, the nightingale symbolizes Mozelle's marvelous jazz vocals. The distant view of low tide at dusk honors both the model’s first name, Hebrew for "drawn from the water,” and acknowledges that both the jazz chanteuse and the nightingale share their gift with us after the sun goes down.

Collage 8 x 6" The idea of one's guardian is near and dear to me. I am comforted by the notion that there is someone or something that keeps an eye out for all of us and keeps us from harm. I often refer to these guardians as the "grandmothers", emanating from our female relatives and ancestors who came before us and acting as a collective blanket of safety. Collaged from old textiles and other bits of my own papers and canvas. The edges are embellished with intricate designs inspired by Slavic Pysanky eggs.

Oil 14 x 11"I make paintings of women, the sea, mysterious encounters, and uncommon places. “On the Edge of the World” is from my ongoing series portraying young girls coming of age. We look deeply into these faces and bodies and revisit our own memories filtered through the lens of childhood and adolescence. My subjects are often on the cusp of change. They are contemplating their futures, preparing their imaginations - and their lives - to take flight. Within these girls lies the power to achieve their dreams.

Photography 14 x 11" When a Noreaster hits the New England coast in winter it is usually fierce. I was watching how far the breaking waves would dare to come. Rivers of water washed through the snow fence. As the water receded, the sky brightened and left behind this wonderful reflection in the sand. I was especially focused on the broken picket, then the wavering lines and the fan like fence in the foreground standing strong against the wind and waves. I could feel the back and forth tug between the man made fence and mother nature.

Acrylic 14 x 11" As one of my earlier pieces of art, Animal Kingdom, was pivotal in understanding what I'm capable of as an artist. To me, this piece means so much more to me than an homage to the vivid and diverse colors and animals of our earth. It honors animals as sentient beings and draws a relationship from human to animal. We are more alike than we think. However, ultimately the meaning behind this piece is up to the viewer and whatever connection they inspire with it.

Photography 14 x 11.75" Travelling into New York City, camera in hand, I leaned as far as possible out the passenger window to capture the incredible, repeating patterns in the Williamsburg Bridge as it skyrocketed over me like a giant erector set while the arched lampposts created a graceful dance-like rhythm along the edge. I used extreme angles, heightened contrast and an intuitive, geometric sense of composition to prompt the viewer to take a closer look and come away with a deeper appreciation of the "ordinary." In the words of Henry David Thoreau, "The question is not what you look at, but what you see."

Acrylic 13 x 13" I seek to express the intangible experience of spirit. It is the awareness of the big picture. It is about the meaning of life and connection to self and others. I am exploring and expressing an inner experience through abstract images. I paint images that feel solid and spacious which is how I feel when I am experiencing “presence”. I have always noticed the subtleties of life whether it was observing beauty in nature or man-made, overcoming difficult challenges, and the complexities of the human experience. I process these experiences through painting.

Photography 11 x 14" Based in Hampton Bays on the East End of Long Island, I collect seashells and marine-life fragments from which I create small sculptures and abstract assemblies that form the basis of my photography. I am drawn to the soothing rhythms and repeating patterns of the design elements found in nature. I marvel at how their beauty endures, despite a tumultuous journey. My images try to capture that essence and share that feeling with others.

Watercolor 12.5 x 9.5" I am an abstract painter, and I work primarily in watercolors with mixed media elements. I’m inspired by the interplay of colors, shapes, and uneven lines, and I love the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor paints. I work very intuitively: I always have a starting point - a particular color combination or focal point - but then I just go wherever inspiration leads me, often surprising myself! Painting brings me peace, balance, and joy, and it helps me maintain an even keel in our uncertain times.

Digital Photography 24 x 35 x 1"I've been drawn to this space since the opening of new addition to Swartz Hall at Harvard University. It's an entryway connecting the existing Swartz Hall structure (built in 1911) and contemporary addition (built in 2021), which creates incredible flow of natural light. As I came to photograph this space for NAWA submission "Depth Perception", I encountered a permanent display of an ahkukq/cooking vessel, created by Artist and Mashpee Wampanoag member Nosapacket (Ramona Peters). Indigenous presence in clay provided an additional dimension of depth, so I reversed the image and it became "By the Well".

Acrylic 20 x 20" In my painting, Birches and Lace, I explore memories and perceptions of the natural world through the colorful, gestural use of shapes and lines to mimic organic forms found in nature. The negative spaces between the trees take on just as much importance as the positive subject matter. While not true to life, the palette creates a conversation between cool and warm tones.

Acrylic 40 X 30" Burnt Orange Woods was created as part of a series that I titled Perspective. The drawing elements and color fields in the negative spaces between the trees are used to create depth. The nontraditional colors create a dialogue when placed next to each other. I relied on my own experiences of hiking several trails throughout the United States to convey a universal sense of place.

Oil on Canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" I rely on the unconscious to paint meditations that are beyond my daily life, using paint to express what my language cannot. This painting reflects my sense of awe at the recognition that we are but tiny specks floating untethered enormous cosmos around us. I used an analogous color palette to create the misty, blurry sensations of my meditation on this vastness. These ideas are beyond my grasp and beyond my words. I recall Carl Sagan’s words that the Cosmos is “beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home."

Acrylic 50 x 38 x 2"West End was inspired as I gazed out the window on a flight back from Ft Lauderdale on a crystal-clear morning. Leaving the urban jungle, the Atlantic Ocean consumed the horizon with a palette of deep blues and greens, sparkling like gems. As the West End of Grand Bahama Island came into view, the push and pull of tonal range increased creating an amazing design of shallows and depths. Inspired and in awe of this natural, abstract vision, West End was destined to be painted.

Oil on Panel 18 x 18"Springtime Seas was painted "en plein air" on the sand in Pacifica, California. The waves were high and the sea was reflecting the bluster of the clouds and wind of the brisk, Spring Day. It was fun to watch the waves rush in and crash, leaving tendrils of foam and wet sand on the shore. Gazing out to the horizon where the sea meets the sky, purples and pinks touched the clouds, shadows lengthened and the sun kissed the edges of the trees and the tops of the waves.

Oil on Panel 12 x 24"Romantic Evening at Pebble Beach was painted "en plein air" on a deck overlooking the ocean, bluffs and cypress trees with Point Lobos in the distance. This is one of my favorite spots to paint. It offers something new every time depending on the time of day, the season, the clear or cloudy sky, the color of the sea, or the height of the waves. This rendition was done for the Carmel Art Festival on an evening in May. I started at about 5pm, working quickly to capture the light of the setting sun on the water.

Encaustic on board 5 x 7"The Oculus is located by the World Trade Center and operates as a transportation hub designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. While it is normally quite crowded I happened to be there when most people were wearing masks, avoiding crowds, and still social distancing. From the street level one enters to a platform two stories above, with a view of the entire concourse and soaring walls (if they can be called that), amid skylights to the ceiling. The building is stunning and the height and length of its interior, its depth, reduces those of us inside, to mere shadows of ourselves.

Encaustic on board 5 x 7"One rainy summer morning I drove my mother to a doctor’s appointment in Manhattan and waited in the car. Between the swishing wiper blades I began taking photographs of people out on the street, navigating the rain and the traffic. I often use toner transfers of photographs I’ve taken, in my encaustic work.This image appealed to me because although there is no real danger, the perception is that the traffic is just waiting to rush forward, while the woman is hurrying to get across the street, before that happens.

Photography 18 x 24"Recently I had the privilege of visiting magnificent Wadi Rum desert in Jordan. This magical land features sweeping red sand dunes and towering sandstone and huge granite rock formations. In this World Heritage site, I was able to experience humanity’s earliest beginnings. By placing my camera as close to the earth as possible and using a small lens aperture, my depth of field was expansive. I was able to accomplish my goal: to bring the present and future together - to emphasize the dunes while still showing the vistas in the distance.

Photography 24 x 18"Queen Anne’s Staircase, in my eye, is a perfect example of Depth Perception. As we climbed the staircase in this building, it was hard to see to the top and imagine how high it must be. The architect created a masterpiece of design, with just the right amount of height and width while embellishing it with a floral motif. As a photographer I tried to capture this beauty using a wide angle lens and removed all color tones to replicate the cold starkness that I felt as we ascended.

Oil on Aluminum 21.5 x 31.5 x 1"I love watching the waves rush toward me when I stand at the water’s edge. I love to feel their cold hit my feet and pull the sand from my wiggling toes. On a hot summer day, I love laying on my back in the ocean and riding the swell of a broken wave. The water is a balm for my fiery skin. When the waves recede, I see the sparkle of sunlight on my body and feel like a child again. With a sense of playfulness and lightness, I am transformed.

Cold wax oil on Birch panel 14 x 11 x .875"“The absence that defined it became the presence that defined them.” (Everything is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer) I keep a copy of this quote on my studio wall because it tweaks my imagination. In the novel it refers to a shared hole between two bedrooms. The recent unforeseen pandemic years have done much to remind me of our uncertain human condition within the energetic flux of life. This painting is my abstract vision of passing through dynamic energy into an unknowable future.

Collage on deep wood panel 15.75 x 20 x 2.75"Symbiotic is part of a series called “Lessons From The Trees.“ It was inspired by Suzanne Simard and her research into North American forests. In her book titled “Finding The Mother Tree,” she explains that she discovered forest life is interconnected through an underground network of tree roots and fungi feeding and healing each other. This symbiotic relationship reminds us that we as a species have also survived throughout history in a similar interdependent manner—families and societies nurturing one another. This work of collage on board includes original photographs, hand-tinted papers, acrylic paint, pencil and ink.

Stone 22 x 12 x 8"I always had a love for creating sculptures out of alabaster stone. I worked with direct carving, finding inspiration in the coloration and the flow of the stone itself. My sculptures reveal the female form conveying a sense of movement with the subtle details of flowing fabric. My visions emerge from the stone as I delve deeper into its core and only truly know what will appear with the final polishing. I enjoy sharing my art and insist that people touch ans caress them as they learn what can be created from within a stone.
