Clay 8 x 35 x 5" Clay as a medium allows a wealth of options as to color, texture, and form. In my sculpting journey I originally focused on figurative work, then became captivated by the natural forms of corals and their fragility because of climate change, and now occasionally morph a combination of these two forms. Exploring form and texture, and creating movement and strength, has led to a wide range of outcomes. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Portuguese Marble Sculpture 52 x 18 x 12" Freyr is a large vertical sculptures where forms criss-cross and stack to give volume without extreme weight. It is more easily moved and would work well in an entryway or large interior. A huge drawback to working in stone is dealing with the weight and the movability of the pieces. This was designed with that in mind. The interior form of Freyr (a protective force) actually moves within the outer form.

Colorado Yule Marble 36 x 12 x 7" Stalwart is one of my many horses produced in the land of horses -- Lexington, Kentucky. My horses are nor literal interpretations of the horse, but suggest an abstract interpretation. Stalwart represents strength, stability and as I finished him, I felt as if I were actually grooming my horse for the next race. He became very personal.

Stoneware 30 x 20" I use pictorial imagery of various cultures, throughout history, by utilizing myths, religious and secular symbols in my work. The images are not literal, but symbolic expressions of prevailing ideas and thoughts about current issues in the world. I am recently exploring Global Warming and mass extinctions of flora and fauna across the world. Looking through the window of history and comparing current social issues with the past, I strive to provoke thoughtful consideration and awareness of diverse cultures in the world today.

Limestone 19 x 12 x 6" My sculpting is done as direct carving in stone -- meaning that the work is not meticulously preplanned, but proceeds as a collaboration between the artist and the medium. The stone evokes an initial image in the imagination of the artist who proceeds to chip away letting that image emerge. My style can be called realism, tinged with a touch of fantasy.

Stoneware 14 x 11 x 6"This entry contains a union of opposites of organic and non-organic nature, growth and rigidity, biomorphic shape and rough texture, presence and absence of color, fragility and visual sturdiness of the material. Bounded, the inflexible, colorless, yet intricate organic form resembles a crouched figure from the classical era.

Resin and Steel 49 x 16 x 6"My work is mainly figurative or semi-figurative. I use positions and body lines in my sculptures to share my emotions and my understandings about life. Steel is a very interesting material, I like bending and rounding rods using my strength only (no heat, no hammer !). Let your eyes follow the lines of this positive spiral, and feel what part of your journey relates to this. The figurative character suspended gives you a key to relate. Concentration like an internal introspection before jumping in projects, social life, new steps, this is up to you. But definitely my work intend to highlight the fact that we should concentrate on ourself before engaging with the world.

Bronze on Greek Marble 24.5 x 20.5 x 15.5"This work is prompted by the clean and efficient movement of the completely developed physique of an Olympic speed skater. It seeks to capture the smooth flowing, seemingly effortless, rhythmic motion which is the essence of the sport. Even the shape of the “ice” base suggests the forward powerful thrust.

Mixed media, painted cloth, found objects on wood 72 x 24 x 12"A nkisi is a container for spirits that was widely used by healers in the 19th and early part of the 20th century in the Congo area of Africa. Nkisi for Remembrance is a contemporary and vernacular interpretation of those ritualistic sculptures created by the healer of a village to protect clients who had been wronged. This nkisi draws from those African sculptures some of their aesthetic elements such as the use of reflective surfaces which reflect both the spirit world and the natural world.

Marble 26 x 13 x 23"I work on the stone directly. Memories feed my inspiration. Those of past and present studies and travels around the world. Direct carving means letting the stone guide you. It is an act of faith that aims to bring balance to my mind and body as I look forward to satisfying my insatiable curiosity. The Universe, I see, reveals itself by expressing itself and knows itself through every bit of experience, and so is my work as a female sculptor, only limited in the process by the material circumstances I encounter: the quality, size, and veins of the marble.

Formed and Welded Steel 61 x 36 x 19"I engage our human and environmental predicament at the meeting place between serendipity and intention; where the beauty of the sacred found is enriched by fabrication. My art responds to crises in order to be a force for healing – on both individual and community levels. What we pay attention to, and how that affects what we choose to keep or throw away, be they materials, ideas, people, or specifics of the natural environment, can change the stories we tell and the potentials we allow. Materials picked up in the forest and desert, old things, everyday things – long used, or used and discarded – possess a resonance of memory and time; they are rich with meaning, nostalgia and reference. I make use of these references, enhancing, enlarging, and redefining their meanings through combining the unexpected. This process allows me to see how we might deflect a disheartening and destructive trajectory and generate different possibilities for our story.

Assemblage, mixed media 52 x 28 x 32"My artwork has evolved over time from colorful whimsical often sculptural pieces to something a bit darker. Telling a story is my goal and I have always been interested in irony and pointing out the foibles of humans going way back to my discovery of Medieval Flemish artists Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegal. I believe travel to other countries, particularly third world countries opened my eyes to conditions in the world. It took a number of years for my art and activism to merge, but my observation of nature and the nature of the human condition remain. My artwork now has a focus on environmental and climate issues. The process has become a cathartic experience for me and hopefully gives the viewer a different perspective.

Clay, ink 10 x 6 x 4.5"For several years now, news media reports have been showing the destruction that is happening to our planet. Daily, there are more catastrophic meteorological events, as well as alarming statistics regarding glacial melting rates, wildfires, years-long droughts, disappearing habitats, and much more. Our safe food and water supply is imperiled on many fronts through pollution, poor infrastructure, war, politics, over consumption. The list is endless. So many humans have contributed to the crisis either actively or through ignorance, not knowing or caring about how their daily habits contribute to the current and immanent crisis. In choosing elements of nature as a theme, my sculptures reflect a concern regarding the effects of climate change. Trees expresses a possible future of desiccation, decay, and destruction. The future is colorless, hard, harsh, and lifeless. Hopefully, viewers of my work will have a visual reference that will influence individual and collective action against climate change.

mixed media, relief print, pencil, collage 14 x 14 x 1" Combining vintage photos of older women from the 1960’s, old maps, and other paper ephemera under a matrix of relief printed houses communicate an imagined history of the Cold War, and who the unsung prime movers might have been.“Women of a certain age” have the misfortune of becoming invisible in society, but what if they used that to their advantage? A good spy is unremarkable looking, able to move freely and unnoticed, and in this case, thwarting Communism after WWII. There are cut away areas, windows to another layer, a suggestion that there is more to be revealed, and, that a house may seem simple on the surface, but hide secrets inside. The simple house shape reinforces the notion that these ladies are just typical housewives, nothing to worry about.

acrylic on canvas 20 x 16" I have been working on a Strong Women series, searching for images of women, writers and artists from the past, who have inspired me through their talent, resilience against various forms of cultural adversity and their singular vision.

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.

oil on canvas 16 x 20 x 2" Caring for Children: Bernadette hugs little Hugh with one arm, while holding on to Madison with the other. I am drawn to the physicality of this scene. The grandmother buries her face in the boy's hair. You can sense her joy in being so close. The older sister, sticking her finger in her mouth smiles delightedly. Jerry, and I are feeling so lucky! Stopping, over for a visit, they made this afternoon in July, truly wonderful.

mixed media: collage with beads, tassels, string, and other found objects 12 x 12 x 1" My portraits and figurative collages (some with mixed media) of women are formed out of patterned and hand-painted papers, magazine pictures, acrylic paint, and ink, and may include found objects. They are colorful and have an element of whimsy and suggest attitudes and other aspects of personality that tell a visual story. I'm passionate about Folk/Outsider art and children's drawings, and they are my primary influences.

acrylic on stretched canvas 30 x 24 x 1.5" My artwork features a vibrant color palette, body language, and movement in abstract scenes of women. As I apply layers of charcoal and acrylic paint, figures are revealed and their stories emerge. My inspiration is rooted in my work as a somatic psychotherapist. It was a privilege to co-create healing spaces with women. as their narratives unfolded and we processed them together. These deeply personal moments and rich interior worlds, theirs and mine, are an ongoing theme in my paintings.

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.

print on paper 14.5 x 6" When I turned 50 and was forced to spend a lot of time in doctor’s offices and hospital waiting rooms, I began cutting images out of magazines – that was the beginning of becoming a serious artist. I took classes and created intricate collages. Eventually I began experimenting with other materials and techniques. I also began studying with instructors who encouraged me to be creative and follow my own ideas. The images in this show were inspired by family and friends -- my Aunt Mary who loved butterflies and nature, my friend Stephanie who encouraged me to fight for women's rights, and my teacher Martha who helped me explore new materials and techniques.

pencil and colored pencil on pages of an old cookbook 17.5 x 21.5" The work is a drawing of my mother in her WWII Royal Air Force Bomber Command uniform. Instead of drawing paper, I used pages from 'The Settlement Cookbook,' a guide she was given to teach her how to be a 'good American housewife' upon arriving in the U.S as a war bride. I drew her military logo with its words "strike shard and strike sure' floating to the right of her portrait. On the left, an old-fashioned stocking clip hangs like a war medal. Red stitches are drawn to represent the "woman's work" of her new assigned role in America.

oil on canvas 24 x 18 x 0.7" I am a contemporary artist, whose style could be described as a blend of symbolism and surrealism. My goal is to bring dreams and creativity into physical reality. My artworks are characterized by vibrant colors, a balance between light and darkness and neat brushstrokes. I take my time to accurately compose the characters, so they could elegantly express their emotional experience. I am influenced by the old masters like Thomas Gainsborough and his remarkably delicate feminine characters, and by surrealists like Frida Kahlo, and her expression of pain and passion. My main medium is oil on canvas. I am experimenting with watercolors and ink pen as well.

serigraph (silkscreen) 10 x 8" Landscape series is composed of two serigraphs that deal with private and public worlds. Inner Landscape demonstrates how little we really know about another living being's inner life. It can be healthy and growing like a forest, as in this artwork, or something entirely different. Outer Landscape demonstrates how much we can guess about another living being just from their outer appearances. That being said, appearances can be deceiving and there may be important aspects of personality that are hidden from view.

acrylic on canvas board 18 x 24" It started in 2013 as a mountain landscape, and it never felt exciting or finished until this year when I realized what image was hidden in it. I traveled in the Himalayas for the first time in 2008 and realized right away that any photos taken of them are just facades. The energy there was palpable, transformative; it was in everything and everyone, crystal, intense. Charged place. Trees, hills were engaged with each other and humans intensely. I am sure we all feel that when we are spending time in nature, but this intensity was very new. It was as if all colors became more vibrant, all emotions (especially bliss) became strong. Nothing ever returned to the feelings I had before the trip, which I know perceived as a bit muted experience. Meeting Gods changes you.

cut & painted paper, wire, tissue paper on canvs 24 x 18 x 1.5" One of three different works, but all collage paintings, that are puzzles of design construction done layer by layer.

oil on paper 22 x 30" This painting reflects my long love of mountains. I lived for years in Geneva, skied and hiked in the Alps and the Jura. From the Green Mountains and White Mountains of New England to the Tetons of Wyoming, I retain vivid memories. In my imagination these impressions are transformed, reworked with many techniques, and imbued with emotions. Mountains represent many sentiments.

gold painted marble heads on wood stand 7 x 18 x 12" Two lines of thought influence my work: The prehistoric Neolithic Period and Buddhist figures. I used leftover stone and reclaimed wood to create both landscapes. Gold paint is the latest addition to my work. One landscape tells the story of Venus of Willendorf, whom I imagine being a female direct carver standing tall among her self-made stone sculptures. In the other piece, I created the burial ground of four parts that make up a whole: the self, the person, the living soul, and the being reunited in their resting place. The four selves are a recurrent theme in my work.

acrylic, oil, wax, metal leaf on cradled wood panel 24 x 24 x 1.5" In my work I tend to pare down visual impressions, which is a refinement my senses enjoy. The result is abstraction. Elements of landscape are usually the springboard -- and spaciousness is where I play. Lively pockets of activity speak to the viewer within layers of painted history, much of it rich with life and possibility. And there is always the 'space' which remains, somehow present, comfortable and embracing. The mindful awareness of Space is the stage upon which all else lives and moves -- vast, recognizable, within the reach of our imaginations, but just beyond what we can fully grasp. I am energized by this notion and by inner landscapes -- the places I visit when I close my eyes.

watercolor and ink on paper 12 x 12" I dream of landscapes, lush and tropical, or watery and luminescent. My dreams insert themselves into my paintings whether I plan this or not.

acrylic on wood 24 x 20 x 1.5" This painting was begun experimentally by dripping paint, which I then slashed through. I had the idea of making some sort of dense floral, decorative abstraction, but it evolved into the painting of a hedge. Adding the doorway transformed it from a landscape into a mindscape, as we are invited to explore unseen depths.

pastel on paper 11 x 11" I love capturing the essence of life with my art. Using distinctive coloring technique and imaginative approach, I depict the subtle lights, reflections and hidden hues on the subjects. The subjects are either close to my heart, telling a story, or from a memorable moment. Storm tree is based on my travels to the Irish countryside. I saw this tree wrapped by another. The tree branches are completely intertwined and formed this dreamlike shape, almost look like they are moving in a storm.

acrylic on canvas 36 x 36 x 2" The 36 x 36-inch panels are part of a series that begin with fall and winter, and as the images progress, a pregnant female form emerges from her leafy environment, and ends with new life being nurtured in summer. They speak to the intimacy of our relationship with nature, and perhaps a larger cosmic vision of the wisdom of embracing the feminine energy that birthed us all.

mixed media on linen 36 x 36 x 1" My painting series is inspired by the elements of Earth and beyond and its organic depth of color. I see inspiration in landforms from above, water’s transparency and movement, rocks and minerals and their multiple layers of colors. Many of the materials used in painting are derived from elements of the earth and I use these elements to build something abstract and yet symbolic of what our planet is made of. Circles also have a symbolic meaning of infinity, balance, returning cycles, and the cosmos. I am creating a story of our planet but most importantly a dialogue about climate change and what is infinite or finite.
