Midsummer JoySize: 20 x 16" In this painting, I strive to capture the essence of Midsummer—an ancient celebration of light, life, and love. Midsummer is a time of transformation, where the earth is at its most abundant and the spirit is free. I seek to embody the enduring power of femininity, with movements that echo generations of joy, resilience, and deep connection to nature. This work is an ode to the strength of women, the beauty of shared celebration, and the joy of existing in harmony with the world.

I work exclusively in traditional oils and place an intense focus on “light” and “motion.” All of these – wildlife, equine sports, and landscapes – have a unique personality that I strive to capture: The stillness of water, or its lively streaming. The boisterous bounding of hounds, or the dignified stride of horse and rider. Each painting unfolds its own story in color and light—and hopefully, conveys a timeless emotion, too. My work is collected nationally. I am an artist member of the Salmagundi Club in NYC, a signature member of the American Academy of Equine Art, and an associate member of both NAWA and AIS.Oil on linen board

The Lindbergh OakThe inspiration for my paintings is the timeless field sport of foxhunting. My process begins with shooting live hunts to capture visual resources--although as a life-time equestrian, I also call on my "bone-deep" knowledge of the subject to craft each piece. (Most of the horses and riders in my work hark from real-life hunts.) In the each painting, I aim to capture fall's saturated color with an emphasis on how light strikes my subjects and illuminates the land itself. ...a blend of light, landscape, and breathtaking sport!

oil on canvas 11 x 14 x .5" Winter is one of my favorite times to paint. I love the quiet and cold--an utter slow-down to embrace the concept of stillness. These three paintings each depict the magic of that stillness--one, a frozen afternoon scene of the hunt, and two other two, dramatic glimpses of how the darkness illuminates the holiday lights like stars.

A love of Nature is still always present, and a reverence for Mother Earth abides in my soul. It is as though, during all those years of painting the view from the outside, there were these reflections growing within. Now, I wait quietly for these images to come up--sometimes, the results surprise even me.

Oil on canvas 21 x 25 in. LOOK OUTSIDE The model for this painting is my beautiful granddaughter Jamie, with gorgeous naturally curly saffron colored hair. She is only 8 years old here, but she is tall, making her look older. She is unaware of her natural youthful beauty. I love the lopsided bow on the back of her shirt. Seeing the work in progress, Jamie asked me to put an owl in the painting. I painted a barn owl in flight. The owl, like her wisdom, is coming towards her, but in her innocence, she looks the other way. Pensive (Jesse)This lovely young woman sits at the sweet threshold of adulthood. Her skin is soft and rosy. She's surrounded by hearth and home. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

oil on canvas 20 x 24" “Just Before the Stars Come Out” speaks of the end of the day; when the moon is up, just before the stars are readily visible. That sky has the most beautiful shade of royal blue, like lapis lazuli. It only lasts for a moment but is such magic. “I often find myself painting in two’s – such as the two chairs or two lampposts. It suggests a story, and I’ve been told it’s romantic.” I work both from direct observation of nature and from imagination. My work is about color and feelings. The thrill for me in painting lies in the countless possibilities of the interjection of a single stroke of color, upon color. My art is my effort to capture a moment and preserve the uniqueness of it.

oil on canvas 26 x 22 x 2" Part of my Conversation Pieces series, this is a piece about the expressiveness of our hands as we converse with one another. I made up the green rings, because I liked the sound of it for the title. The Conversation, painting suggests a conversation as one sits across the table from someone, implying a relationship between viewer and figure. There is also a connection with the viewer in the familiar habit of shared coffee. When I have my coffee, experiencing warmth on my hands, how many others are doing the same thing? What is familiar are gestures of hands--as stories are told--there is an underlying drama in the human exchange.

I find ways to find "safe passage" through the canvas, much as we all manuever through life and find our way. Life is like a puzzle and we all have to find a way to make all the pieces fit. Intuitively I convey feelings in a particular painting depending on my situation at the time..exploring the way shapes intersect in life and the way we someimes hide the obvious behind a mask. However I want the viewer to reach their own conclusions about what the symbolism may represent and decide what I may have been thinking.acrylic on canvas 36 x 24 x 1.5"

acrylic on canvas 48 x 60" I like soft colors and ways to find “safe passage” through the canvas, in the same way that we all maneuver through life and find our way. I want to create a feeling of depth, with forms intertwining, like stories of individuals in a city full of people. I strive to create contrast, vibrant interaction, raised and recessed surfaces, glossy and matte combined finishes.

acrylic paint, ink, graphite, and thread on paper 12 x 12" Art is the language through which I navigate the intricate tapestry of my heritage, stitching together threads of identity and points of view.

mixed media 9 x 9.5" I reinterpret Palestinian identity through contemporary Tatreez, a traditional cross-stitch embroidery, and the keffiyeh, which is a traditional headscarf. The freehand stitched designs, created with a sewing machine on water-soluble fabric, blend with multimedia layers on canvas or paper. This intertwining reflects women’s self-expression and diasporic identity.

By delving into the past as well as the present, through paintings and photography, I have been inspired to recreate those images in my own expressionistic style. It is an ongoing challenge and hope that the finished portrait will give a sense of immediacy and permanence to the subject, that the strength and depth will shine through.

acrylic 21 x 17 x 1" My Strong Women series focuses on subjects of historical and cultural, artistic or literary significance to our lives as women. These are expressionistic portraits that reach for an immediacy that resonates with the viewer and not be considered an attempt at a naturalistic rendition.

Translating this into the medium of painting is challenging ut a great satisfaction. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic 21 x 17 x 1" I have always been interested in the stories of women who create. Whatever the medium is--poetry, fiction, non-fiction, painting, sculpture, music--wherever the muse takes them. My own artistic career has been varied, with writing fiction, non-fiction (journalism) and painting taking precedence. A passion for photography has led to an interest in expressionistic portraiture, using photographs of artists, past and present, as a springboard for my own painting. Some believe that a photograph lies as it only captures a moment but what can be read in that moment has helped me in my own search for the truth behind the image., which has led to my Strong Women series.

It is not my purpose to document an event as a photojournalist would be doing, but to create a work of art that stirs an emotion. I photographed these penguins on the Falkland Islands off South America and waited until the penguins started interacting with one another before I attempting to photograph them. By waiting until the right moment, the viewer can now feel the same excitement as I experienced, when I saw these two penguins greeting each other… ready to kiss!
