  • Acrylic on Canvas Love and Beloved Size: 48 x 48 x 3 Birds began to appear in my work at the start of the Pandemic. The beginning of the bird fashionistas - little characters that emulate the personalities of the people around me: They are fun to make and are a constant reminder of what is important in my life. When someone asks me “What happened to you during the pandemic?” I think “Well, a lot,” but the constant reminder of life came from looking through the living room window, watching a cascade of different types of birds vying for their spot at the bird feeder. Over and over and over! So many hours spent on the sofa just watching them and being thankful for being alive. While sitting on that sofa I did draw a LOT in my journal book. I wrote about the places I’ve been to, the people I’ve been with, meanings of the icons and images I was incorporating in my work. When we all began to venture out of our houses, I was more mindful of the journaling process and drawing the “memories” of place. The images in the journal book are the genesis of this work.

  • graphite 32 x 24"
    Figurative drawings have the potential to convey deep emotions and tell compelling stories. Whether it's capturing the human form in a raw and emotive way or exploring complex themes through subtle details, As I revisit the portrait genre repeatedly throughout my artistic career, I document the changes and growth within myself—both as an individual and as an artist, and my subject. Each portrait becomes a reflection of a state of mind, an experience, and emotions at a particular moment in time. Whether rendered in graphite, charcoal, or vibrant colors, these portraits can serve as visual diaries chronicling the passage of time and the complexities of the human condition.

  • watercolor, colored pencil 30 x 27 x 1"
    For the past fourteen months, I have been mourning the death of my daughter. She taught middle school ancient history, and my current work connects to images from those times. That’s what’s 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 divide the three sections of the tabernacle. Making paintings with these references lets me feel connected to my daughter and is helping me process my grief.

  • oil, colored pencil 17 x 11 x 1.5" My wish is to make connections between things I understand and things I don't. After my daughter's death, I read about the ancient tabernacle in Jerusalem. It had curtains of scarlet, purple, and indigo. I painted circles, triangles, and squares using these colors. In the middle of the painting I placed the letters of her name--b i d u-- copied numerous times onto a white rectangle. Why? I can't say. But this painting evokes a feeling of the sublime for me at a time of upheaval and loss. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • cast rubber and reclaimed metal
    7 x 10 x 7.5" In an attempt to adapt to the onslaught of changes being done to the environment by humans, nature is increasingly creating hybrid forms that fuse the man-made with the natural. Mollusks incorporating plastics into their shells and organisms evolving to tolerate former poisons are just some of the modifications nature is devising. These hybrids are simultaneously compelling and horrific. Using these new life forms as inspiration, I create uncanny forms suggesting a fusion of the organic and the industrial. All of these fusions represent an artificial reality that is a hallmark of our anthropocene age.

  • cast concrete, reclaimed materials, and pigments 3.75 x 10 x 2" In an attempt to adapt to the onslaught of changes being done to the environment by humans, nature is increasingly creating hybrid forms that fuse the man-made with the natural. These hybrids, like many of products we consume, are simultaneously compelling and toxic. Using these new life forms as inspiration, I create uncanny forms intended to suggest an animated fusion of the organic and the industrial. All of these fusions represent an artificial reality that is a hallmark of our anthropocene age. My work is an exploration of the legacy of our current lifestyle and its effects on our world.

  • Polymer plate intaglio from original photo
    10 x 8"
    These decorative prints are an homage to nature: flowers and birds. Traditionally, flowers symbolize decadence and the transitory nature of life. Ephemeral flowers become eternal in a photograph, the essence of their beauty and light captured with a camera.  Turning flowers and birds into eye-catching, decorative objects immortalizes them. This print is a cross-disciplinary fusion of digital photography and traditional intaglio printmaking. With an intaglio or etching, colorful flowers and birds become monochromatic. Nature is eternal, but observed moments are fleeting, the changing light captured by photography. How does a photographer represent them in some way that is different from the infinite number of representations that have come before? The nature of printmaking, which existed long before photography, suggests an ephemeral moment fixed in time, striking a monochromatic note that makes the viewer pause to observe it.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • screen-printed, stitched vintage linen 12 x 12 x .875"
    The series of Keeping Up Appearances tackles some of the thornier social issues of mid-20th century America, inspired by text from a 1954 book on etiquette.

Incorporating vintage linens upon which dye has been painted and text screen-printed, this work is also hand-stitched and machine-stitched. The text is copied from Amy Vanderbilt’s Complete Book of Etiquette and is used with permission by Lincoln G. Clark, trustee of the Amy Vanderbilt Kellar Literary Property Trust.

  • mixed media on stitched textile 40 x 35" As a visual learner, I see art in everything. My morning walks are consumed with taking smartphone photos of shapes, textures, patterns; many of which have inspired my textiles. Additionally collaged images are posted to my social media. Often others respond that these images cause them to look more closely at their surroundings as they move about in their daily lives. Whether pattern, shape, movement or color, the natural world provides endless inspiration.

Shortly thereafter the rains came, and formerly barren areas could not absorb the water. Such a paradox… too little water, too much water, in just three months’ time. Climate change is real.

  • graphite, colored pencil on archival drafting film
    18 x 18" The mark making is the primary focus. Playful and layered, the graphite marks dance across the surface – fluid energetic responses to the moment. The transient and illusory is metaphorically suggested by the use of translucent drafting film as the drawing surface. Selected color partners with the graphite repeating and emphasizing the gestures and choreography. The horizontal linear repetition is grounding to the bursts of movement. The 'horizons' suggest a continued process leading us to another level of perception and the persistence of time while centering us in the present moment.

    Refugees - maps from geography books published in 1868 are cut and recombined. Combining the maps with antique wooden shoe forms and hand dyed silk ribbons, suggests a journey charted, imagined, or remembered. A unique perspective of mapping the world is depicted utilizing the antique materials in sharp contrast to our present day issues and conflicts, affecting untold populations around the world. The carefully charted topographies, geographies, boundaries and coordinates are ultimately transformed and inviting new explorations. Layering the paper intuitively, responding to the antique cartographic renderings, allows for new territories to form.

  • oil on garments mounted to board 20 x 16 x 2" I create canvases of deconstructed garments that I enrich with paint application. My works regard the dressing table in metaphor reflecting qualities of the feminine, aspects of womanhood, and identity. This piece is from a series of vignettes about the depth of emotions a female may experience reflecting in the mirror; thoughts she may have about life. Addressing the vanity as a place where one creates one-self; a study of women’s practices acts as an investigation into self and personality. Often appearing as stage-sets, vanities become theatrical platforms to speak to the evolution of femininity and the way we tear ourselves to live within what is socially accepted as feminine.

The strength and style of buildings and the many abstract patterns of light and dark they provide, the juxtaposition of people and architecture, and the connections they create, make a statement about the complexities of the time in which we live.

  • platinum/palladium photography 11 x 14" In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in the natural environment, providing moments of serenity. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. This image was originally captured with infrared film; the negative was subsequently scanned and transformed into a digital negative. I then contact printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the image.
