Aazam IrilianSize: 24 x 24 "Lumina" invites viewers into a dreamlike expanse where the boundaries between space, memory, and imagination blur. Inspired by childhood stargazing and Hubble Telescope imagery, this piece captures the awe of the unknown through layered textures and radiant color fields. It evokes the mystery of a distant nebula—or perhaps an undiscovered world—leaving space for wonder and interpretation.

Tiny Red LeavesSize: 48 x 30 I live in Florida, but spend the summer in the mountains in NC. There with the changes in seasons, I see the changes in the landscape and the woods. After the first frost the more fragile vines on the soaring trees first turn red and later brown and drop off. The red accents though small are so noticeable and herald the coming change of season. The day I saw this scene the sky was the legendary deep Carolina blue and white clouds were streaming across.

Ballet-Series VII: All DressedSize: 21.25 x 29.25 These actual-ballerinas were photographed the day many of us artists went in under an arrangement to drawing them live...along with the live sketches and paintings that I completed during the session, I painted this one later. I enjoy the bold-mark and the flow of water to create a visual-impression.

Outside Inside Acrylic on Canvas Board Size of Piece: 24 x 30 I feel that every human being is like a portal. We first encounter the external frame, but an entire universe unfolds as we step through the doors. Our inner world shapes our outer reality, just as the outer world, in turn, influences our inner state. A lingering sense of loneliness etches itself into our expressions, while a habit of noticing beauty and goodness softens our features, bringing light to our presence. Perhaps the most powerful anti-aging secret is a genuine smile—one born from childlike trust in life, the belief that everything is unfolding as it should, and the certainty that our adventures are limitless. There is an ever-present, knowing part of us—an angelic essence—watching over, guiding, and smiling at our journey through our many mystical paths. This painting emerged as an unfolding, evolving process that presented infinite possibilities until I realized it was not about choosing a single direction. Instead, I was capturing a state of being, a process of disc. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Curls Chinese Ink on Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper Size: 26 x 22" My latest series captures sunflowers in the process of aging to explore the third act of life; the search for new purpose.

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!

Reaching for ResilienceSize: 29.6 x 19.6 We are constantly going through transitions, reacting to changing social and personal situations. Fluid washes refer to that movement. Layered transparency in my work suggests elements in our surroundings being in flux, coming in and out of focus as we pull for inspiration. This painting portrays a sensitive strength I witnessed in this model's expression, as well as ginkgo leaves swirling in the atmosphere since they are symbolic of resilience.

Point Judithoil on canvas paintingAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 29 x 23On a hot July day, I was returning by ferry from Black Island to the mainland. In this small village, Point Judith, located on the coast of Rhode Island, several fishing boats were moored to the pier. I have always been attracted by the atmospheric old boats peacefully moored on the water. At this moment, they were shrouded in fog, giving the place a more romantic character. Having stopped, I made a sketch and some photos, finishing the painting later in my studio.

Blown Away by a Namesake Painting: Oil, acrylic and found objects on canvas Size: 27 x 23" "Blown Away by a Namesake" explores the duality of the hand grenade, highlighting the surprising etymological connection between the weapon and the fruit. In many languages, the two share a name, a link that stems from their visual resemblance: the pomegranate packed with seeds, the grenade packed with shrapnel. I was drawn to how a fruit, a symbol of abundance, and a weapon, a symbol of destruction, could be so closely tied through language and form. By using contrasting imagery and styles, the paintings move beyond literal resemblance to suggest deeper ideas. They speak to the coexistence of creation and destruction, beauty and violence, abundance and fragmentation, and the stark contrasts that reveal the dualities in language, objects, and the narratives we build around them. The artwork challenges us to find beauty in unexpected places and to recognize the complex interplay between creation and destruction that shapes our existence.

Once Deeply Rooted, Now UntetheredSize: 48 x 48" 'Once Deeply Rooted, Now Barely Tethered' was inspired by the impermanence and mystery of the natural world.

As the plant matter seems to rise in ascent, all things are in flux, even the laws of gravity Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Acrylic, Charcoal, Graphite on Stretched Canvas

Boys in the BandIn my latest series, I choose to represent musicians in a gestural, expressionistic style. I’m mindful of the transitory nature of experiencing live music. Electronic devices may capture an image or recording but never truly replicate the original experience. These pieces seek to invent a new gutteral response to those moments gifted to us by musical artists.

Study for Stress Series 19For many women, a hectic life results in being overcommitted and overwhelmed. The Stress, Pit, and Covid Series drawings reflect upon this common-place tension. Small studies are drawn before the time-consuming larger works are started. Studies, from 30 x30 inches such as the one entered, to many only a few inches in size, are used to confirm the composition of drawings or to clarify implied messages in sculptural projects. These preparatory efforts also gauge my interest in pursuing a similar image in a much larger format. Observed in these studies are minuscule close-up details that have interest separate from their practical preliminary studio function. This beginning work assures that the desired implication is evident that visual images can reflect the complexity of emotional states. Paradoxically, for me, working on these drawings causes a “flow experience” that relieves stress.

Bow to Mother NatureIn Bow to Mother Nature, I swirled heavy pastes in the style of pointillism to honor HER design --one which could entice the observer to amble through a field of lush greens -- where the sun kissed the poppy reds, vivid violets and brilliant blues and the air was drunk with their perfume --finding with each step, a blessed peace. This was the place within me some time ago when I imagined this painting. I turned to the glory of Mother Nature to soothe an ache in my heart and feel my own blessed peace.

Playing Ball on the Streets of CasaresThis is from my series called "Textures in Storytelling". It is symbolic of my visit to Casares, Spain. A beautiful white town built into the mountainous terrain. But this didn't deter the children who lived there from playing.

Chaos (Variation III)Size: 24 x 18 Nature & the the life around us have always been the major influences in my art. The palette for Chaos was inspired by the rare & endangered Itombwe owl of Africa.

Newborn Icharcoal on arches paperAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 30 x 22.5This drawing ispart of a series entitled ‘In Fraught Times: Tending to Love’. I have felt besieged by unchecked hatred, biases of all kinds, racism, misogyny, an imploding climate, unabated gun violence, and truth as an endangered commodity. As an antidote, I chose to focus on the humanity and lives of those in my familial orbit, to hold them up and celebrate the goodness present in living, striving and evolving. Many of these works marvel at the magic of the moment and honor the purest of encounters with the special little humans in my life. The difficult and satisfying challenge in my portraiture is to portray some unarmed truth and in so doing to suggest our complex humanity, our shared experience. And in defiance of all the negativity and hatred peddled continually, I celebrate goodness, empathy, sincerity and caring.

Unstill Life#2oil on stitched canvas and bridal veil fragmentAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 29 x 22The painted constructions emerge as transmutations of my most resounding responses to the world around and within me. They are not mere representations but transformative expressions born from profound encounters with the natural world. These works memorialize instances of revelation that occur in the space between observation and understanding—ephemeral moments that would otherwise slip away unrecorded. My artistic practice weaves together accumulated experiences, approaching that sense of truth discovered only when fully immersed in the artistic elements. In these moments of complete sensory engagement—when one is simultaneously aware of nature's boundless energy, the boundaries between self and environment dissolve. This construction serves as a vessel for that transcendent understanding that emerges when the senses are fully enmeshed in the natural world. It invites viewers to access their moments of revelation through the layered, textural dialogue between material and memory. Shadows are the natural consequence of being.

Global WarmingSize: 10 x 7" The effects of global warming, and pollution on our world inspired me to create this piece. I grew up in a world that was free of impure and contaminated water for a short period of time. As I became a teenager, I started seeing drastic changes to our environment happening. For example, oil slicked oceans, dead sea life on the shoreline and floating on the water, and medical trash and waste. My piece represents a lifetime of grotesque changes to the environment that I have witnessed. Mankind and corporate greed have destroyed the beautiful world I once knew.

Hinged in Harmony: Doors from Different Countries Under a Shared SkyMy mixed media piece, doors from the countries I’ve visited around the world, on the continents of Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America are symbols of both our differences and our shared humanity. Each is unique in culture, color, design and character, yet together they represent an extraordinary intentional and universal message that embraces welcoming, belonging and peace. Layers of texture, color and embellishment invite the viewer to come closer to recognize the beauty of diversity and the common hopes that unite us all. My doors reflect the vibrant variety of human experience and a reminder that across all borders and under the same sky there lies a common thread in multiculturalism.

Rendezvousacrylic/mixed media on canvasI had a phone call from a Professor from New England college who asked me if I would be interested in an exhibition themed "Landscrape", not misspelled. Of course I agreed and proceeded to paint some large pieces for the exhibit. Long story short, the exhibit didn't get off the ground so to speak, but the work did. Consequently, this piece was included by Anita Rogers, Anita Rogers Gallery in the Art2Life 2023 exhibit. One thing leads to another. In creating this piece I was able to paint freely with abandon. I utilized larger brushes, paint edgers to drag and remove paint, charcoal, graphite, you name it. I also used some house paint because I loved the way it moved on the canvas. The work had many layers, a paint layer followed by a layer of gloss medium, which give the piece a lovely depth and textural quality.

Secret TrianglesA painting is a way to empathize with human experiences on a universal level. Non-material ideologies are realized through non-objective painting. My recent paintings address secrecy, buoyancy, levity, themes of duality and continuity, connectivity, energy, fragility, microcosm versus macrocosm, and more. For me, a painting might include: the physicality of the material world; immaterial intangibilities such as time, imagination and subconscious thought; past experience; historical influence and context; formal visual elements such as color, line, shape, or form; literal or veiled intents and communications; ontological expression, symbols and meaning, universal emotions, conceptual decision-making, and persistent chromatic energy. I urge color and value toward reification, the gestalt perception of an object as having more spatial information than is present, while utilizing limited or elemental, inherently frontal forms. Different interpretations are highly possible. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.oil paint on canvasSize: 24 x 24

Flotsam, Light Shaft in Pinkacrylic on cradled panelAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 36 x 36"Flotsam, Light Shaft in Pink" presents an abstract narrative describing debris and light bouncing around an enigmatic water environment. The term “flotsam” speaks to a sense of the lost and found. Residing somewhere between landscape, figuration, and narrative, I present landscape elements in terms of parts that are disembodied and ready for arrangement. I like to play with their formal relationships, to jostle any sense of fixed placement. Forms that we might recognize as either shadow or structure become at once horizontal and vertical as they share the painted plane. A leaf can be both a figure in the landscape and a signal about decay. Shape becomes the result of withheld paint as well as applied.

TaiyoAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.acrylic on canvasSize: 48 x 36I wanted to find a way to give people hope and the Japanese culture and Spirituality have always inspired me. The sun (Taiyo) in the Japanese culture is a symbol of life, light and the vital force that sustains all living things. It also symbolizes hope, renewal and new beginnings. I incorporated modern and ancient textile patterns to illustrate the opportunity we have to learn from our past and use that knowledge to transform our future.
