Whispered Choices Size: 4 x 6" Although I am typically known as a paper collage painter, this piece is a fused glass collage painting.

Rock Pool Size: 16 x 24" I painted "Rock Pool" on site at Acadia National Park. My inspiration was the action of the water as it approaches rocky ledges.

Chaos Size: 15.5 x 15.5" Lush gardens, majestic landscapes, and serene seascapes have always been a source of inspiration in my image making. Combining traditional photography methods with contemporary techniques enables me to record and reinterpret the worls around me. I work on an intuitive level without a predetermined image in mind, and consider an image successful when it is transformed beyond the reality of the camera into a personal connection with nature.

Evening in Portofino Size: 20 x 30" My work is about joy. It is about the practice of intentionally noticing and connecting to beauty all around us: a reflection on water, the summer evening light illuminating a sidewalk cafe, or the contrast of whitewashed dwellings with the cobalt blue ocean. I feel a deep and soulful response to this simple kind of beauty. It is profoundly personal. This is not about painting a pretty thing. This is a connection felt in a single glance.

The World Askew Size: 18 x 18" This work speaks abstractly to the total chaos in the current world. The background field is a blended roll of intense color layered on a plexi plate which is printed first. The smaller circular and geometric shaped plates are created from cut up Yupo painted with hot wax and printed in relief then layered on top of the blended roll image.. The dynamic positioning of the cut plates reflects my stress at the state of our current society. I struggle to create beauty during these chaotic times. The title "A World Askew" encompasses my intention and inspiration for this work. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

West Side Highway Size: 20.5 x 23.5" I took this shot while driving on the west side highway northbound. The traffic was at a standstill in the car next to me I saw this girl with her head out of the window. I immediately took my camera and photographed her.I loved the image and her facial expression. Traffic moved and I never saw her or the guys she was with again. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  

Zoiks Size: 20 x 16" The dog, painted in oil on canvas, is seeing President Trump's plans for the future as an open book, in a relief print, sewn onto the canvas. Using his dog sense, he shakes his head, seeing how confusion reigns, understanding how all living things are being hurt by these ill-conceived schemes. The dog is expressing his sense of "severe danger" with a thought bubble, "Zoiks!" This Bristol board sign is made with markers and then sewn onto the canvas.

The Corner Store Acrylics, markers, pencils, pastels Size: 16 x 16" Nature, animals, and taking walks in my neighborhood inspire my art. I use a variety of materials and techniques, loving the process of applying paint and other mediums.I take inspiration from what I see emerge. It is a delicate balance between intellect and intuition. I often end up with many layers of materials on each piece, with a little of each still visible, showing its history.

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. They are meant to reframe aging as further individuation through experience as opposed to a decline in value. It is a celebration of life without judgement.

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.

Steinhatchee Falls Acrylic on Canvas Size: 24 x 24" I created this piece en plein air in the remote reaches of rural Taylor County, Florida, which has been devastated several years in a row by epic hurricanes and flooding. The Steinhatchee fishing village is resilient, though, which inspires me in these difficult times.

Considering Oil on Wood Panel Size: 14 x 11" I am often inspired by the spirit of women. In this portrait I enjoyed the young woman’s attitude.
