  • 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.

    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.

  • Seated Nude White Stoneware Sculpture Size: 7 x 9.5 x 7.25 When I start working with a model, I make a few sketches to see how she poses and how the forms come together and her personal gestures. In this case, I liked the sketch as much as I liked the more finished piece, and I wanted to share that experience.

  • glazed stoneware 18 x 7 x 7"
    This owl is part of a series of Sentinel Figures. I mean them to be protective and fierce. I started them during the pandemic when I just wanted to protect my family and friends. They are all made with a combination of forms thrown on a potters wheel and forms that are modeled. I read about and studied images of owls for inspiration. Owls are awesome.

  • glazed stoneware 15 x 8 x 8"
    For most of my career, I had worked with female models, exploring issues of identity, sexuality and personal power. During and after the pandemic, that didn't seem relevant. I also wanted to throw pottery again as I had at the beginning of my career. I found the process consoling, and I wanted to offer consolation to others. I felt protective of my friends and my family. I began a series of sculptures that combine thrown and modeled forms. They are meant to be protective figures from the realm of myth and imagination. This one, Buddy Buddha, is my own beloved dog, who was such a cheerful and affectionate companion during that terrible time.

  • Conversation Glazed Stoneware with overglaze Size of Piece: 14 x 12 Gesture is everything in figurative sculpture. The smallest details are important. The curve of a hip, the position of one finger can alter meaning. I find sculpture fascinating in the way that it exists in real space with us, and how that proximity triggers connection with our minds, our eyes, our memories, and our feelings.

  • glazed stoneware 17 x 6 x 6" After the pandemic I was feeling protective of myself and my friends and family. I had been doing nudes for a long time, but it didn't feel appropriate anymore. I made a series of these sentinels. They are combined thrown and modeled forms. i see them as entities that will look over us and out for us. Making them made me feel better.

  • Archival pigment print 36 x 24 in. w/ frame 37 x 25 in. Bety has been cleaning homes since she was 11, and she also gets up early every weekday to volunteer at morning mass at her church. She also does most of the domestic labor in her own home. Bety’s paid labor hours, spent cleaning houses, are represented by heavy, earth-colored forms cast from various types of potscrubbers. Her unpaid work hours, many of which are spent volunteering within her church community, are represented by lighter disks with holes reminiscent of tracery. Hours not spent working are spaces on the chain. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • silver solder & copper over wood 104 x 78 x 8" This sculpture is a data visualization of Anne's workload during the COVID lockdown. Anne is the mother of two young children, and during COVID she took on the roles of schoolteacher and household manager for her family of four who were now in the house every day, all the time. Stay-at-home parenting is a rigorous undertaking in the best of circumstances, and with no in-person school or childcare help, it became an all-consuming grind. In Anne’s sculpture, all work hours are unpaid. Larger silver spheres represent a full hour of unpaid labor and smaller spheres represent a half hour of unpaid labor. The very few empty spaces represent an hour when Anne was not working.

  • Whispers Beneath the Surface
    fiber fabric art
    Size: 36 x 24
    I’m a textile artist who is inspired by the world around me, especially by nature. I look at my surroundings with inquisitive eyes and mind, with curiosity, knowing there are hidden treasures to be found and turned into art. My artistic approach is mostly intuitive with a constant awareness of color combination and contrast. The use of strong colors is a direct influence of my Brazilian heritage. Using fabric as the medium to create my art pieces was a natural choice since I have been working with it from my teenage years. My creative process can be described in two phases. The first one is the combination of inspiration and visualization of an art piece. The second phase is transforming what I visualized into actual artwork. It requires selecting fabrics as close as possible to my vision, adjusting, and sometimes, starting all over again.

  • Mixed Media Painting 36 x 24 x 1 in. Explanation for Secrets among Blossoms- Life is a canvas splashed with unexpected twists. Those who master the art of embracing uncertainty and forging ahead are the ones who truly survive. Each heart is a wondrous chest, overflowing with secrets. The outward beauty may enchant the eye, yet beneath the surface lie veiled wounds and hidden mysteries.

  • Secrets Among Blossoms Acrylics and Watercolor on Aqua-board Size of Piece: 36 x 24 x 1.5 Secrets among Blossoms- Life is a canvas splashed with unexpected twists. Those who master the art of embracing uncertainty and forging ahead are the ones who truly survive. Each heart is a wondrous chest, overflowing with secrets. The outward beauty may enchant the eye, yet beneath the surface lie veiled wounds and hidden mysteries. Frozen Blooms- is about the quiet toll of life’s hardships. The woman holds a bouquet of flowers—symbols of beauty and hope—but she doesn’t seem to feel their warmth. Her gaze is distant, her expression unreadable, as if the struggles she’s faced have left her numb. The deep purple tones wrap around her like a lingering sadness, while the bright yellow background reminds us that life’s warmth still exists, even when it feels out of reach. This painting speaks to those moments when we carry beauty in our hands but feel unable to embrace it, when the weight of our past makes it hard to see the light ahead.

  • acrylic 18 x 24 x 1.75" Convergence is the culmination of many hours of blending directly on the canvas. My process begins by selecting a color scheme and limiting myself to using only those colors plus neutrals. I work intuitively, applying paint then stepping back to analyze until I see no further changes to be made. The complementary colors in Convergence seemed to flow in a pattern which reminded me of rivers merging together in a confluence.

  • acrylic & gel medium on canvas 20 x 20 x 1.5" The initial inspiration for this painting came from some of the beautiful images seen from the James Webb Space Telescope. My goal was to mix texture and colors to highlight the counterplay of the darkness of space and the amazing light and colors captured in those images. The texture creates a sense of motion with the focal point representing the revelation of a distant source of light.

  • collage with jewelry findings and string 12 x 12 x 1"
    In this "portrait," I'm trying to capture the rebellious aspects of a woman's personality, mainly through the colorful and nonconformist way she adorns herself as well as her living space. I'm inspired by the simplicity and directness of Folk and Outsider art. And when I was working on this piece, the words to the David Bowie song, "Rebel, Rebel," were going through my mind.

The creatures that inhabit this world appear during the process of creation and are not planned but embellished later. I am inspired by artists such as Klee and Kandinsky, Outsider art, and children's drawings. I am especially drawn to the element of whimsy and the directness I see in the work of these influences.

  • 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.

  • Oil and Gold Leaf on Panel Bittersweet Size: 36 x 24 Framed Size: 36.5 x 24.5 The Bittersweet flower has been known to represent truth, persistence and resilience. The truth often being bittersweet. In this painting the woman holds the (flower of) truth and fights off the chaos in the world as represented by the geese with 'truth'. I feel truth is hard to come by and expensive today to verify, but is essential to shifting the balance of good/evil in the world towards good. Truth gives us strength and power even though it may be much smaller than the evil it fights. Geese for me represent chaos and are a local resident of my studio. I composed the image after the conception of the idea. The figure is an invention and is not a portrait of anyone in particular.

    Size: 48 x 36

  • oil on oil primed linen 29.75 x 26 x 1"
    Inspired by art history's paintings of artists at their easels, I made this painting of the beginning of the process of awaiting an idea or inspiration for a painting. This part of the process is magical to me and perhaps the most difficult of going from idea to committing to creating a painting of that concept. For me the process begins by turning inward.

    These paintings are inspired by my interactions with my grandchildren for a collection of work focusing predominantly on my life as a grandparent. This is often not discussed in the art world but is a role many of us play in our lives. I am dedicating a collection of paintings to this inspiration. Also included here is family life, and a reflection on pivotal life changing decisions we all make.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • oil on oil primed linen 40 x 30 x 2" Inspired by a recurring dream, I am interested in past experiences and how they mold and form who we become. Childhood memories are often the source of meaning and inspiration for my work. I use a shallow space and multiple perspectives in my compositions, working partly from life and partly imagination. All imagery has a specific meaning to me personally but I do not wish to embed a narrative in the painting. The inspiration serves only as an excuse to make the painting.

  • painted foundry molds & found materials 28.5 x 17.5 x 6"
    My palette of found objects and foundry molds requires being tactile, playful, and using chance and intentional placement to create anthropomorphic totems. As I create my work, I let the shapes and objects guide me. The composition comes first but with constant editing, a theme emerges. I find meaning in these found objects and detritus from the past. By reimagining their purpose and giving them personalities, I look to recast their history and for the viewer to find kinship in these haunting shapeshifters. Freed from their destiny as trash, these curious objects assume new identities and evocation of something soulful.

  • Hawaiian White Ginger
    watercolor painting
    Size: 11.5 x 20
    The tropical florals are an ongoing series of watercolors inspired by a solo show I was invited to have at the Koa Gallery in Honolulu that ran concurrent to a High School Reunion in Honolulu where I was born and raised. The work explores my passion for watercolor, serial imagery and evocative color. The subject matter takes me back to my roots and feelings of desire, longing, and a painful nostalgia as I relive my life rich with exotic scents, colors and adventures with childhood and teen friends, most of whom are still living in this tropical paradise and remain my closest friends to this day.

  • Be A Rebel
    Acrylic on Canvas
    Size: 30 x 30 I paint because I bleed Alizarin Crimson. As a small child I painted a yellow sun into a blue sky and CREATED GREEN! I remain awe-struck at this  always-new discovery of color creation and juxtaposition. My process is "reduction"; painting till the canvas is over-full of movement and connections then obliterating that world-chaos until the becomes a complete and orderly composition. As I would love the world to be; composed, organized. I am excited by the evolution of shapes and the discovery of how movement impacts each of these shapes to become cohesive.

  • watercolor 24 x 24 x 1" Lavender Square is one of the pieces in my petal series, which all started with a floral arrangement. Photographing it up close, I discovered how the slightest movement of the camera created an entirely new composition. I was fascinated by the amazing color and shape of each petal. This discovery marked the beginning of a floral journey, starting in acrylic, then venturing into oil and watercolor. My background is in graphic design where I developed a bold approach to color and form. Painting shape by shape, I strive to make each one beautifully blended, and build the final painting like a puzzle, balancing color and texture as I go.

  • 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.
