linocut 20 x 16 x 1" My prints reflect my lifetime fascination with the eternal truths and beauty found in the natural world. I find these in the grace and elegance of living forms and the majesty of scenic landscapes. I channel them into a personal visual statement. Each print is the result of an idea, a narrative that forms in my mind, which I execute as a design. Then there is the challenge of cutting the image into the plate and printing the edition. Cutting each plate provides a new learning experience.

mixed media 12 x 12" I enjoy layering in all forms to give my work texture and depth using different mediums and collage elements building on each other. Each layer affects and can transform the previous one. The layers can be a metaphor for life. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Working loosely with abandon, layering paint and papers on a panel, the intuitive process itself supports the creation of an abstracted evocation of the chaotic aftermath of a cataclysmic event.

acrylic & collage on sintra panel 60 x 48 x .25" My images are primarily painted directly from life, with the subject typically casting a gaze back at the viewer. My paintings respond to themes “humanity”- my fellow women, forced migration, social justice, civil rights, natural and man-made calamities, as well as the respite of nature’s continuum. My process comes from my desire to bypass self-conscious inhibitions in the pursuit of self-expression. In 1990, I felt artistically "reborn" when I started painting with my non-dominant left hand and discovered renewed creative freedom. This, as well as using oversized brushes, gives me speed and fluidity, resulting in either as a fully representational finished painting, or the base on which to build a mixed media collage.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.My intent is to create a narrative through this photograph of the needy and poverty stricken children of our (3rd) world. Part of my "International Children Series", my photo captures an authentic moment in 2022 of two sisters in front of their living quarters in their Laotian village. There is an irony to their donated GAP clothing and Nike sandals, dirty and worn, in the materialistic standards and values of life in America. Looking further into this photograph, one can see a typical home in Laos, bringing to reality the life of these young girls. Most importantly, their natural expressions add emotional overtones to this piece. as they help to convey a story of the children of Laos.photography 24 x 30 x 1"

acrylic on cradled wood panel 30 x 30 x 2.5" The descriptive and passionately written poem, "The Sea", by Ralph Waldo Emerson, was my inspiration for this painting. I strived to create a visual image that is as sweeping as his words! I chose to paint on natural wood and kept the sides of my painting natural, to coordinate with the organic subject matter. An integrate part of this piece is my calligraphy on all 4 sides of Emerson's words in brushstrokes of paint., harmonious with my impressionistic scene's colors, brushstrokes and mark making.

This painting reflects that sentiment. Books, as well as objects, tell a story and have a history. This painting celebrates my admiration for the humble typewriter.

acrylic on canvas 20 x 20 x .5" Statement for new works. Layering and revealing what is underneath is the basis of this new direction in my painting. This is in line with what I have always sought, the subconscious manifesting itself in the conscious execution of my work. Striping gradually evolved as a device to create a surface layer that must be penetrated to find the hidden core, the third dimension in a two dimensional work.

A good spy is unremarkable looking, able to move freely and unnoticed, and in this case, thwarting Communism after WWII. There are cut away areas, windows to another layer, a suggestion that there is more to be revealed, and, that a house may seem simple on the surface, but hide secrets inside. The simple house shape reinforces the notion that these ladies are just typical housewives, nothing to worry about.

mixed media/sculpture 13 x 15.5 x 7.75" "The Sheilas" is a kinetic piece with original printmaking, self-portrait, found objects, and mirror (yes, one needs a little smoke or mirrors to do this work of spying and deception). The invisible women who helped spy during wartime and the Cold War could go unnoticed because who would look at a woman past her "prime"?! Lift the latch attached to the little red book at the top of the cabinet and reveal the "Universal Aunts" who can "Solve Your Problems", In doing so, that motion lifts an envelope that hides the younger distracting woman in the black and white photo and reveals the faces of the older women who are doing the important work of saving the free world.

Photography 14 x 11" When a Noreaster hits the New England coast in winter it is usually fierce. I was watching how far the breaking waves would dare to come. Rivers of water washed through the snow fence. As the water receded, the sky brightened and left behind this wonderful reflection in the sand. I was especially focused on the broken picket, then the wavering lines and the fan like fence in the foreground standing strong against the wind and waves. I could feel the back and forth tug between the man made fence and mother nature.

sculpture 15 x 10 x 15" Albert Einstein once wrote, "Look deep into nature and you will understand everything." I have looked at nature and seen much symbolism and metaphor for what is happening in the world today. My artwork focuses on the chaos, mystery, and whimsey in nature. The whimsey is sometimes dark, sometimes not, but always points to the foibles of human nature. Nature is innately smarter than man. It has solved many problems we are grappling with. Perhaps what surrounds us is the secret to survival. Nature has the ability to evolve and adapt to change the environmental conditions. It has slowly adapted to climate change hastened by man, but will it continue to? My ever-evolving artwork has become more activist and narrative driven, and explores some of these ideas and more.

Assemblage, mixed media 52 x 28 x 32"My artwork has evolved over time from colorful whimsical often sculptural pieces to something a bit darker. Telling a story is my goal and I have always been interested in irony and pointing out the foibles of humans going way back to my discovery of Medieval Flemish artists Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegal. I believe travel to other countries, particularly third world countries opened my eyes to conditions in the world. It took a number of years for my art and activism to merge, but my observation of nature and the nature of the human condition remain. My artwork now has a focus on environmental and climate issues. The process has become a cathartic experience for me and hopefully gives the viewer a different perspective.

Painting Tangled Up in Blue 20 x 20 x 1.5 in. I have a deep connection to the natural world that I see through the eyes of an artist. My paintings capture a moment or memory of wonder, joy, and beauty, something special that caught my eye. Paintings are inspired by the diverse colors of light, atmosphere, and nature in the coastal landscape where I live. I look for what is unique to convey a sense of place. Although often evoked by a fleeting moment, I translate in paint to transcend time. Brushstrokes over glimpses of color intentionally reveal some of the painting process.
