oil on canvas 16 x 20 x .75" A figure in hot pinks stares with wide eyes in disbelief. What is she looking at? Is it the viewer? This expression of saturated emotion insights a real, tangible feeling within us, as the viewer. The space, however, is pixelated like a quilt stitched together. Is this scene 2-dimensional, patched together with pieces of fabric? Or has the figure somehow morphed this flat object into a 3-dimensional space to exist within? Is she stuck there? Is she asking you to help her get out?

acrylic with oil, beeswax, & gold leaf 20 x 20 x 2" I often surprise myself by making art that comes from remembering and expressing my own internal dialog. Experiencing times and places of intense activity, clutter, even chaos, I observe my thoughts seeking the quiet comfort and ease of greater spaciousness. For me this is the manner in which tension resolves as it unwinds and dissipates into the vastness of our inner landscapes, the places we visit when we close our eyes.

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.

Thoughts Extend Sculpture-wood, found rust Size of Piece: 20.5 x 7
I negotiate my world as a maker. I love trees. Picking up fallen branches and twigs delights me. Rooting through my collection of gathered materials, I'm always thrilled to combine disparate elements and create a new object. My current piece, Extended Thoughts, is wood-carved, burned, and pigmented with colored pencil. The base is composed of various pieces of Rust - a square washer, a vintage gutter guard woven with coated yellow wire, and an old tree stand.

wood, found metal, magnets 10 x 8 x 3" I love collecting sticks while hiking. When I return to my studio, I sort the sicks by length, width, straightness or curvature, and color. When a stick's bark is spotted or striped, it often remains, but I also carve, burn, and use colored pencils on others. My next step is to search through my bins of found materials to find the perfect match between sticks and usually abandoned metal. The entire process of creating is fun and exciting, filling me with joy.
-
wood 11 x 10 x 8" I am a gatherer. Fallen wood waits for me. Sticks, twigs, branches, and bark fill my arms and backpack while hiking. In the studio, I carve, burn, and apply color using colored pencils. Each piece reveals itself as I work. Beetle tracks on the carved blue sticks read as ancient secret text.

wood, Prisma Stix, & white pencil on rusted grid 6 x 6 x 6" I love trees. Gathering felled branches and sticks on hikes in the mountains, walking in the woods that surround my home, or exploring neighborhoods, fills me with joy and awe of the natural world. In preparation for carving, I am intoxicated by the texture, the smell, and the snap when reducing the length of the stick.

Let It Sing! Watercolor on Watercolor hot press paper Size: 10 x 13 The painting Let It Sing! was inspired by a moment I captured during a winter trip to New York, specifically in Central Park's Bethesda Terrace Arcade. The subject of the piece is a young woman busking with her guitar, and her face is filled with an expression of deep passion as she sings. The title, Let It Sing!, is drawn from the song "Let It Sing" in the Broadway musical Violet. In the show, a disfigured girl embarks on a journey of healing through faith and music. She meets a man who encourages her to embrace her voice, telling her, "You've got to give yourself a reason to rejoice / Cause the music you make counts for everything / Now every living soul has got a voice / You've got to give it room / And let it sing." The painting itself reflects that same message—the power of music to heal, express, and make one's voice heard. As I worked on the piece, I was drawn to the vibrant energy of the woman and the striking textures of the environment around her. The weathered stone wall behind her, with its intricate trompe l'oeil panels, echoed the colors of her shirt, creating a harmonious blend of background and subject. This "harmony" and her passionate expression captivated me and sparked my creative process. Let It Sing! captures the unspoken connection between artist and art, voice and music, and the healing power of self-expression.

Gomuban plate print, Akua ink 20 x 16 x 1" "Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere."- Phillip Guston

acrylic on canvas 18 x 14 x 2" This scene speaks to me as the objects remind me of my mom who very recently died. She had a way of making things very "hygge" or cozy, for us. The things, or ideas of things-like tea and homemade raisin bread, surround me and feel like a tangible extension of her love. (The flowers are flowers I received when she passed, from my friends and relatives. She was flower fancier too, and I know she would have loved these.) It's been very healing to paint these things. Painting this scene helps me process my grief. It may all sound a bit cliche, but it still resonates. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

sculpture 3 x 5 x 5" Freshly graduated from music school and looking to establish a vocal /piano career I took a job as lead solderer for Hart Stained Glass. While discovering that I didn’t love production work, I did fall in love with glass and metal. I have been learning from these materials in a wide variety of processes and techniques ever since. I create both decorative objects and contemporary art pieces. I am inspired natural organic forms,Wall art includes encaustic, oil and watercolors. Enameling and metal work requires patience, precision, and surrender on the part of the artist. Both glass and metal are, like nature, at times malleable and at times unyielding. Currently I create in my home studio in Woodstock CT and my shared Enamel studio “Fire and Light” in Worcester MA. Nest was created from vitreous enamel, gold foil, copper, copper wire, brass wire.

oil on canvas 30 x 29 x 1.5" Whale Watching is an oil painting on canvas and was inspired by a trip across the Pacific in a small ship. For thirteen days there was nothing but blue! It was marvelous and inspired a series of all blue paintings. The somewhat monochromatic palette is bright and bold ultramarine blue in all shades, light to dark, with some turquoise and white as well. Lots of movement and depth have been created by layers of paint and bold brushwork. Packs a punch for its size.

steel 36 x 24 x 2" Continuing the artist's journey to explore the plight of women in our society, this steel sculpture is inspired by the moment a woman unwinds at the end of her day. Playing with the volutes of the feminine curves and the metaphor of the spring or the string, the artist invites the gaze of the viewer to unwind along with the subject, from her mind to the tips of her toes.

Photography 10 x 8 in. The photo of this workshop captured my eye because it looks like the technicians and workers had just stepped away from their workbenches a moment ago. Perhaps they are on a break and would soon return to their stations. Though there are no people in the image, I could just imagine them toiling away at the projects on which they were working.

mixed media 12 x 12" Currently, my work has focused on military spouses, in the form of figurative and portraiture paintings. The work explores and expresses the psychological impacts felt by this subculture. This small portrait is one from a large series focusing on identity; military spouses are organized and named by their "sponsor's/ spouses's last four" of their social security numbers- not by their name...

mixed media on Arches oil paper 13 x 13 x 1.25" I paint military spouses who live in West Point, NY- where the United States Military Academy is located. As a proud military spouse, I became interested in the cumulative effects of this lifestyle- exploring identity erasure, community, and impermanence. My work, "Sponors' Last Four," refers to the military's organization of spouses by the last four of the active duty member's social security- instead of their names. I also developed a process that was reflective of these experiences: the chaotic and relentless cycle of breaking down and starting over. I repeatedly disrupt, redraw, and rerender figures. I intend to not only express the challenges these women face but also their beauty.

oil, gouache, pastel, on Arches oil paper 34 x 34 x 1.5" I create portraits of military spouses in mixed media. These paintings, which lean on drawing, display layered surfaces that disrupt and entwine with figures- representing the relentless cycle of moving and starting over. This figurative work revels in the immediacy, intensity, and expressiveness that drawing provides while exploring mark-making and surfaces. These qualities add tension between the figures and background while visually representing the struggle of spouses to not lose their individuality in lives dictated by another's military career. While being a military spouse is a tremendous honor, these portraits are an expression of their psychological space and tumultuous lives.

oil painting on wood panel 11 x 14 x .75" This work is part of my Military Spouse Project. One of two bodies of work currently in production, its focus is documenting and honoring our military spouses. The project was initially conceived to thank spouses who participated in my other project; Disrupted Military Portraits. However, these traditional portraits quickly took on a life of their own and I can see this work continuing into the future. As a military spouse myself, I see this as a way to give back to our unique community through artistic representation.

acrylic on cradled wood panel 14 x 11" My practice as an artist grows from the direct observation and immersion of drawing on location, where I uncover the energy and memories that linger. The drawings become a point of departure for my abstract paintings, where I engage with the shapes between form, exposing the residual layers of sensation. Abandoned industrial spaces are of particular interest to me, as the grounds of these former factories are healed by the weeds and shrubs of ruderal growth and the forces of nature, which slowly transform toxic materials back to the earth. Ruderal Growth 1 is part of a series based on the abandoned brick factories of the Hudson Valley area of New York State.

Painting Yellow Door 20 x 16 in. Vibrant Colors and Rich textures are a signature of my works. My paintings are always a process. I work intuitively as the image evolves. Varied layers of glazing give lushness and depth, while the addition of mediums helps to create the textures that emerge in the final image. I work pushing and pulling shapes, surfaces, and colors, until I am excited with the uniqueness of each piece. Yellow Door was inspired by the many homes we passed on the waterway while my husband, cocker spaniel and I cruised the great American Loop through the Eastern United States and Canada.

Girl with Curlers Pencil and Pastel, Pencil on Paper Size of Piece: 10 x 8
“Girl with Curlers” is a portrait of my younger sister. I was inspired when I saw her wearing her curlers in front of a window, the light from which bathed her hair and face in a soft glow. I used an HB pencil, along with white, brown, and red pastel pencils on cream-colored paper to create a soft, minimalistic color scheme and used value to capture the interplay between the softness of her face and pajamas and the darker geometric mass of her hair in large curlers.

oil on canvas 20 x 30 x 1" Flowers and landscapes are my passion. Whether working in the garden or enjoying nature, I try to capture the fleeting moment, be it a flower in bloom, trees changing the color of their leaves during the fall, or shrubs with swelling buds during the spring. My camera is always ready in my hands. Millbrook in June, was created after I visited the area. One sunny day during summer, I went there on an excursion and was stunned by the beauty of that place. A man-made lake and the surrounding territory form a picturesque landscape on the outskirts of Millbrook, NY.

acrylic & colored pencil on wood 16 x 20 x 1.5" In my newest series, "Motion" I am exploring the concept of inertia and how that relates to ADHD. I’m sure most of you remember hearing the phrase “an object in motion stays in motion” from high school physics. I take it another step to say “a body in motion stays in motion. People with ADHD can have a difficult time transitioning between tasks. This can be mistaken for “laziness”. For example, if I’m sitting on the couch eating breakfast and know I have to get up to get ready to work, a lot of the time I just can’t. I know I need to, and I even WANT to get up. But my body remains seated. Or, I found in college that if I leaned on my forearms on my lofted bed, I’d get stuck doom-scrolling online for hours. Though my body may be still, my mind is still whirring. I have found that the only way to counteract this is to keep my body moving too—to move from task to task without physically pausing (unless I’m trying to take an intentional break). It’s a daily challenge that I’m sure a lot of people can relate to. My “Motion” series aims to reflect the duality of my mind moving while my body stays where it is and yearns to move forward.

watercolor 16 x 21 x 1" Color, light and shadow—created by the sun outside but observed primarily indoors in the kitchen—are magic. There is something about lighted round vibrant color fruits, such as oranges and tomatoes, combined with blues, usually found in ceramics and fabric, that, for me, represent a promise: of the pleasures of food, kitchens, meals, community, peace. Given the disturbing times in which we live, my paintings are a small pleasurable alternative. I deeply appreciate still life.

Glass Bowl of Oranges, Pitcher with Top, Red Peppers Watercolor Painting Size: 8 x 13" For over twenty-five years, I was a Professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies at Northeastern University in Boston, where I live. After a productive life as an academic: teacher and scholar who wrote several books, I retired and changed direction completely. Spontaneously, I started to paint with watercolors, taking classes and workshops whenever and wherever I could. I was possessed with the desire to visually represent, in beautiful watercolor, fruits and vegetables in bowls and on plates, creating a new way of seeing beauty in everyday, taken-for-granted objects. I love color and transparent watercolor. Light and shadow --created by the sun outside but observed primarily indoors in the kitchen-- are magic. For me, lighted round fruits of vibrant colors, such as oranges and tomatoes, combined with blues, usually found in ceramics and fabric, represent a promise: of the pleasures of food, meals, community, and peacefulness. Watercolors are part of that promise. The term ‘still life’ is significant in more ways than one: the world needs still life. Using a transparent palette and techniques, I arrange and rearrange kitchen items, often food, in the sun attempting to capture beautiful colors with their shadows and reflections. My goal as an artist is to represent life in ways that create viewers’ pleasure in my artistic accomplishment and images.

Painting Northern Song Dynasty Chinese Empresses 108 x 70 in. For the Fall 2024 New Member exhibit, I have selected a painting from my Chinese Empresses collection that features empresses from the Northern Song Dynasty.
