Coral Cockatoos Charcoal and Acrylic on Panel Size: 6 x 6" Phantasmagoria is my original art technique, developed to create haunting, ethereal visuals, similar to daguerreotypes (an early form of photography where the image was made on a polished silver-coated copper plate). By combining the deep, matte tones of charcoal with the iridescent shimmer of interference acrylics, I craft images that blend nostalgic depth with modern luminescence. Charcoal creates rich contrasts and textures, while thin layers of interference acrylics add a color-shifting glow, evoking a ghostly movement. Named after 19th-century optical spectacles, Phantasmagoria produces dreamlike, timeless artworks that fuse sharp detail with otherworldly light. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

New Voyage #1acrylic paint, tissue paper, on plywoodSize: 18 x 18In 2020 our world turned upside down. My experience with Covid19 and the lockdown reoriented my approach to life and art and I explored the world of abstraction more seriously. I began studying with Nicholas Wilton, a west coast artist, taking many online courses with him. He encourages following one’s instincts and taking risks. I am attracted to the freedom, the movement, and the limitless opportunities to rearrange reality through collage. And it is also terrifying, losing control and trusting intuition. It is a never-ending process of growth and change that continues to force taking chances, feeling uncomfortable and uncertain, making, and resolving mistakes, and learning to be an effective critique.

Nena: Rememberedacrylic, paper, lace, cloth, and other materialsSize: 20 x 34My creative passage has taken me from a realistic, almost classical representation of the human figure, towards a surrealistic world of figures and imagination where everything is possible as reality and fantasy merge. My current work consists of mixed media assemblages, acrylic paintings on canvas and some drawings. This piece is very personal, it is a portrait of my aunt. It consists of two images of her, one young one old and a variety of objects that remind me of her.

Sadako Sasaki (Full Flower Moon, Hiroshima, 1955)collage w/ hand-cut rice paper, quilt scraps, inkSize: 13 x 10Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who became a victim of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States. She was two years of age when the bombs were dropped and was severely irradiated. She survived for another ten years, becoming one of the most widely known hibakusha -- a Japanese term meaning "bomb affected person". She is remembered through the story of more that one thousand paper origami cranes that she folded before her death of radiation induced leukemia at age twelve on October 25, 1955. After her death, Sadako's body was examined by the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) for research on the effects of the atomic bomb on the human body, before she was cremated and laid to rest. Sasaki has become a leading symbol of the effects of nuclear war and has become an international symbol for peace.

Unconscious Ascentsoft pastel on sanded paperSize: 16 x 12Unconscious Ascent expresses a time when your mind has suspended reality, a time of transition that is impossible to replay. It is that fleeting moment when one questions if it is a dream or something beyond. Fragmented elements move in and out of focus with a veil-like quality, beseeching further exploration.

Joseph's Tunic Watercolor on paper Size: 20.75 x 24" For the past several years I’ve been dealing with my daughter’s untimely death. She taught middle school ancient history. That’s what led me to look at a schematic of the Biblical tabernacle in Jerusalem and make paintings based on it. Some of this work has focused on the scarlet, purple, and indigo veils that separate the three sections of the tabernacle. Recently, I’ve delved into the Old Testament to learn about the cloths used to make garments. I’ve made paintings of Jospeh’s tunic and Job’s sack cloth. I like the meditative quality of this new work and how it sustains me. After covering the surface of the paper or canvas with hundreds of circles or ellipses, I build layer upon layer of paint leaving some areas exposed. Making painting with these references lets me feel connected to my daughter and is helping me process my grief. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Over Currentphoto on paper, fabric, beads, transparency wovenSize: 12 x 12I am drawn to materials that have history and relevance to everyday life. For many years, I have deconstructed and reassembled photographic prints with a variety of materials and processes, resulting in the development of new imagery. I am passionate about the subjects that I work with. They include people I am intimately familiar with, unknown subjects from old photo albums, and photographs of noted artists and writers. Connecting with subjects on a personal level enables me to find something deeply personal about them to portray. This mixed media portrait on paper is sourced from a found vintage album. The graininess of the original photo comes forward in a similar way as pixels from a computer image. A back and forth dialogue between analog and digital creates a sensation of time present and past and makes for a new interpretation of the subject.

The Trinityacrylic on canvas, paste, markers, pensSize: 24 x 18Unseen expressed within a seen form is my inspiration to explore ideas through art. A sacred triad emerges—father, mother, and child; body, mind, spirit; the seen, the felt, the becoming. Painted, cut, and reassembled, Trinity explores transformation through fragmentation and intuitive reformation. Each figure holds an aspect of the unseen: the masculine, its silent weight; the feminine, its flowing song; the child, its unfolding light. This piece is an icon and mirror—an invitation to remember the wholeness within.

Dance of the Lily Pads Color Pencil on Drafting Film Size of Piece: 23 x 30 Realism is the style that I have embraced for my work. Perhaps the truth is that it embraced me, flowing naturally from my hand, with inspiration coming from the world around me. Colored pencil is the medium I have chosen for most of my work. What started as a lifestyle choice (pencils are clean and easily transportable from primary residence to lake house) became an artistic choice. I’m a control freak - free and loose is NOT my style - so colored pencils are the perfect medium for me. Their layering and blending capabilities, the transparency of some colors, and vibrant pigments help me convey the interplay of color and light in my subject matter. At times, I use colors that are more brilliant or saturated than what I see in nature. It pleases me, and I hope it pleases the viewer.

Freshen the Flowersoil on canvas paintingSize: 24 x 20“Freshen the Flowers” is a painting about memory and traditions. I remember my mother often buying fresh flowers on Fridays and I started that habit for myself many years ago. I borrowed the name from a favorite poem by Mary Oliver because I was thinking of the quiet joys that are overlooked and that she so often writes about. My painting process is a developing story between my materials and myself. My curiosity to learn more about my family histories and understand my culture and patterns has been a large focus of my art practice. I’m interested in weaving together storytelling, cultural identity, observations of the everyday, and nostalgia. For me, the narrative I’m creating becomes secondary to the narrative a viewer creates for themself. My paintings, using rhythmic color, layers, shapes, marks and lines, evoke memories and invite you to meditate on your own personal histories.

Knotty Girl--She/Her seriesMixedFiberTap CordSariSilkYarnSSWshersButtonsBeadsSize: 29.75 x 18.5Knotty Girl is one of my She/Her Series of wall tapestries mounted on Royal Poinciana tree pods found in my community. Traditionally, textile works have mostly been women's work. I love combining fiber with other elements; the stainless steel washers offer an industrial feel while the soft pink Ghiordes knots of yarn and the sari silks of the skirt suggest femininity.

Reading by the Seashore Acrylic/Canvas Size of Piece: 16 x 20
Girl by the Seashore was painted from imagination, another way I work. Sometimes, I paint from imagination directly, with maybe only a thought to where the work will go, but more often, and here, the composition is derived from a pencil drawing, originally from imagination I which made quite a few years ago and still love. I draw a lot. Here, I worked to get the light the way I wanted it.

The idea was developed as I worked, first finding the butterfly patterned backdrop, then hanging Mardi Gras beads for a more party feel, and finally adding free floating butterflies. I always strive for a little whimsy in my paintings.

Whispers Beneath the Surfacefiber fabric artSize: 36 x 24I’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.

Angst and Toys Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 20
The values and colors in painting Angst and Toys are used to create a certain mood, atmosphere. Intense variations of Blue are supposed to provoke mysterious and dramatic feeling. The light coming from a light house and an invisible source of light from the right create red reflections on mothers;s and child's faces, warm coats and gloves.. The combination of colors and their values in this painting speak of an emotional memory where reality and imagination are tightly interwoven.

Chromatic Dawnsculpture: plexiglass/woodSize: 16 x 16 x 2I am interested in the expression of color and reflections as a language. The transparent nature of plexiglass makes it possible to create visual statements of color and hue that are not available with other materials. My work explores the nature of individual colors and their interaction and reflections. The composite of the individual components creates a distinctive visual statement. Much of my work has been influenced by the beauty of the sunrises and sunsets on Long Island. My work is meant to be joyous and celebratory.
