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.

Passion of FreedomEthcing on PapaerAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 22.5 x 17.5This ethcing was inspired by a doorway in Pennsylvania.

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.

Chugach Sunset Iacrylic on canvasAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 30 x 40The beauty and variety of the natural world has always been my source of inspiration. From early memories of the rural New England dairy farm of my youth, I have cultivated a curious reverence for the environment around me. My practice relies on close observation followed by intuitive expression. My paintings serve as visual poems of lived experiences. I paint my memory of a place or moment in time. Instead of reproducing what I have seen, I use meditation, music, and improvisation to stir my visual creativity. I work slowly to allow the paintings to evolve over time, layering pigments, lines, materials, and shapes to evoke natural colors and textures. The resulting compositions radiate an underlying organic energy. I hope my works draw viewers in and invite an emotional response. This painting is my experience of the sky and the Chugach Mountains seen from my hotel room in Anchorage, Alaska.

Aspects of a Life (Banyan Tree) Oil on Canvas Size: 48 x 60" Enamored of a Banyan tree we saw in Florida, visually pulling one in many different directions, we marveled that each limb has its own challenges and rewards.

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.

Magnoliasoil on canvasSize: 24 x 30Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Portraits are my favorite subject. While I am painting a face, I am one with the person, and there is an exhilaration that comes from achieving this intimacy. To me, comparable to painting faces is painting flowers. My favorite is the Magnolia. I am attracted to it because of its colors, so delicate and nuanced, from white to cream to amazing tints and shades of pink. By weaving elements of art such as shape, space, color and value, my goal is to elicit a kind of internal gasp of recognition from the viewer: “Ah, yes, that is a beautiful painting”.

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.

The Undoing of Beinggraphite & colored pencil on paperA deteriorating, decomposing stump of a felled tree is superimposed on a landscape. The extreme physicality of the stump engages and thrusts the experience directly into the viewer's space. Title refers to the collapse of a physical system into increasing levels of disorder and uncertainty. It calls attention to time in a deep sense as well as attention to the destruction of our natural environment. The mesmeric process of careful observation utilizing many grades of graphite pencils is a time-consuming detailed approach where textures are always visible and pulsating with life. At the same time, my technique is a metaphor for embracing the moment. It’s fascinating to me to work with the basic material of the earth – what was once life – to create works that are completely integrated with the images.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.24 x 24 x 2" A fleeting instant seizes my awareness, ensnaring my focus with its captivating allure. It could manifest as a harmonious composition, a symphony of hues, or a transient observation reverberating with a smoldering emotion's echoes. The impulse to metamorphose this ephemeral vision into a tangible form eclipses my cognitive and emotional terrain, propelling me into creative fervor. In that moment, the world around me dissolves, and I become an alchemist, transmuting the intangible into a visceral, evocative expression that captures the essence of that singular, transcendent experience.oil on canvas

Pieces of Mesculpture steelAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 13.5 x 10.5"Pieces of Me" invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of heartbreak, offering a space for solace and transformation. In the process of creating this sculpture, I navigated my own emotions, caring for the piece with tenderness as if I were engaged in a dialogue with myself about the complexities of breakups. This journey underscored the importance of self-compassion and the necessity of allowing time to heal. Inspired by my personal experiences, my creative process was rooted in deep introspection and a profound connection to the material. Ultimately, "Pieces of Me" seeks to resonate with others, fostering contemplation and encouraging them to embrace their own paths toward healing and renewal.

Moon in the Water Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 48 x 36
My painting was inspired by a phrase used by Master Dogen (1200-1253), the founder of Zen Buddhism, when teaching about the ineffable experience of enlightenment -- "moon in the water". The moon being a symbol of enlightenment and the water referring to the human mind freed of the obscuration of incessant thinking, thus becoming like an empty, open mirror able to clearly reflect the true nature of reality, allowing the direct experience of one's own true nature. "Old pond... frog jumps in kerplop!" --Matsuo Basho

Terra, the Primordial Breath Acrylic on Canvas, Oil Pastels, Gesso, Inks, Paper Size: 48 x 36" This piece was inspired by the idea of Earth’s very first breath—raw, sacred, and full of potential. The deep, textured browns at the base represent the primordial ground, untouched and alive with energy. I built up layers slowly, letting the textures emerge naturally, almost like the Earth forming itself. The lighter transition at the top suggests air and life beginning to stir—a shift from matter to spirit. I worked intuitively, letting the process mirror nature’s own rhythm of creation and transformation. It’s less about depicting a place and more about capturing a feeling: the quiet power of beginnings.

Abigail Went MissingSize: 30 x 30 I have done many paintings with tornadoes which express my concern over our climate crisis. I also try to combine these images with figures that provide a contrast and an emotion that heighten that imagery. That is what I strove for with Abigail Went Missing, a confluence of images that first captures the eye and then over time captures the mind. As with most works I begin the painting itself carries me along into something that I am not completely aware but go along for the ride and then I realize that the work is telling me the story. Abigail expresses the concern over our current catastrophic climate both literally and metaphorically but it also hints at drama that might have happened long ago. In that vein I will continue to add other companion paintings to accompany her in the future.

On the Eve of Apocalypse. Portrait of Great-grandmother Anna. Siberia, 1917Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.oil on canvas paintingSize: 24 x 18This painting reflects the story of my great-grandmother. My great-grandmother and great-grandfather lived in Siberia. They were a wealthy family from the upper class. In 1917, the Russian Revolution took place and the civil war began. The communist Bolsheviks who came to power killed the rich and took away their property. My great-grandmother survived, although she lost all her property. The fate of my great-grandfather is unknown. It was impossible to talk about his disappearance. My great-grandmother's son hid his origins, because he was afraid that the new authorities would subject him to repression. Great-grandmother Anna was left alone, without money, without a husband and son and without understanding why she was punished like that. In the painting, great-grandmother Anna sits in her favorite lace blouse, with an album of family photos and forget-me-not flowers in her hands as a symbol of a request for us to remember her. On the small table on which her hand rests is a photograph of the heir to the Russian throne, Tsarevich Alexei. The photograph is a symbol of the great-grandmother's commitment to the old pre-revolutionary order. The fate of the Tsarevich is also tragic. He will be shot with the entire royal family by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The background on which the grandmother is depicted is a symbolic image of her native Siberian city as it was before Revolution, on the eve of Apocalypse.

Under the UmbrellaSize: 13.5 x 15" In Under the Umbrella, a crowned man and woman stand beneath an American flag, completely oblivious to the chaos below. Stained hands claw at her, a neon pink vital sign flickers beneath them, but neither seem concerned. Handcuffed together, she extends a green heart—her life force—while he lazily swipes at it with one hand, too distracted to care. Her face is being sawed, a nod to self-reinvention and erasure, while her leg fuses into a television, the ultimate surrender to media control. She wears fishnets, playing the role expected of her, while he drifts around in his power polka dot boxers, blissfully clueless. His foot dangles over an erupting volcano, but he’s too indifferent to notice destruction. Despite the comic absurdity, they remain under the umbrella —wrapped in privilege and illusion, perfectly safe… until the ground disappears beneath them.

Poppies Recycled Brown Bags & Acrylic Collage on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 36 x 2 My work is a reminder of the peaceful, centered energy of the miraculous, natural living world which surrounds us. My collages are made from torn, recycled brown shopping bags that I first paint with acrylics and then rip them and adhere the pieces to canvas. I am interested in the concept that the bags started out as trees and then were made into paper which was torn and collaged into an image of the natural world, which in itself provided the required inspiration and energy. I hope that the viewer thinks that they are looking at beautiful and serene paintings at first glance, then discover that they are viewing a collage that involved a painstaking genesis in the studio. Each is the product of many months or years of work.In addition, the pieces are often autobiographical.

Anastasia. The Firebird Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 30 x 24 Dinner with my nonagenarian friends inspired this piece and is why i called it "Social Hour" I decided to render them through colors and shapes so the focus would be on the connection between them and on the mood of the moment rather than on their features. What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art. Growing up in multiple cultures influences my work, and my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. I paint mostly in acrylics and gouache and love to experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. At times my work is autobiographical as I aim to tell a story, convey a feeling, or share memories. In Social Hour my focus was on friendship and aging. Through the use of vibrant colors, a sense of movement, and unexpected imagery, I hope the viewer is drawn into my work in a way that provides space for their own interpretation.

Free the Songbird (Tapestry of Nature / Endangered)Size: 34 x 42" My lifelong passions have been the diversity of humanity and nature. My ‘Endangered body of work’ was begun fifteen years ago uniting the concepts of human diversity and the biodiversity of nature. I use Mother Earth and Mother Nature metaphorically for women since many find themselves in situations of endangerment globally. I try not to sensationalize because I want the viewer to reflect and internalize the art. Fifteen years ago there were 42,000 endangered species of wildlife and plant life, but now the number is over a million. With the Earth suffering from climate change, deforestation, overfishing, pollution, poaching, and war, we must remedy what we have created through global partnership. Within the work there is urgency but also an element of hope because we can all engage in the stewardship of nature and help others to appreciate the diversity of our own species.

Two Critical Questions Acrylic Size of Piece: 42 x 51 x 1.5 Hayoon Jay Lee is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the tension between indulgence and abnegation as it exists in terms of mind and body as well as on a socio-political level. Her work locates points of contact between Korean material tradition and Western avant-garde vocabulary by using rice shape and rice as an object, motif, commodity, and metaphor. As a building block of civilizations and a marker of wealth differences, rice allows Lee to conceptually play with points of conflict conceptually — oscillating between attraction and repulsion, between Orient and Occident— with the aim of ultimately encouraging reflection on the different ways our conditions and fates are interlinked. Renowned for integrating rice-inspired motifs and organic, visceral shapes in her paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, and videos, Lee’s work features figures embedded within rice forms. This highlights the deep connection between food and life. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Shahnameh Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 36 x 48 The painting is inspired by childhood memories. Somehow, translations of Persian texts of Ferdowsi's poems Shahnameh penetrated into Siberia behind the Iron Curtain. The phenomenon of a foreign culture that came to the snows of Siberia to surprise and enchant with its exotic fantasy is reflected here in the form of an image of a Persian prince appearing either in a dream or in reality to a Siberian lady.

U.S. Constitution on a knot Sculpture: Carrara marble and granite Size of Piece: 36 x 22 x 26"
Political parties in the United States are fighting against each other and can’t agree on anything. Everyone is in a knot. So I decided to make a literal knot out of the Constitution, held up with a carving of my hands. My hands, my statement. - Robin Antar “U.S. Constitution in a Knot” is a symbolic piece featuring the U.S. Constitution as a document, with all seven articles, tied into a knot, representing the complexities and challenges within the nation's principles. The intertwined form reflects current turmoil, while intricately detailed hands symbolize individual responsibility and the struggle to uphold these values. The sculpture rests on a pile of rough granite chips, highlighting themes of fragmentation and disarray, contrasting with the smooth marble. Overall, it serves as a poignant commentary on the chaotic state of the nation, embodying both despair and determination in the effort to maintain important values amidst societal conflict.
