photography and gold leaf gilding 13 x 15" While wandering through Paris at dawn, I spotted the beautiful monument placed so artfully at the end of a Parisian street. I had to capture the essence of what I saw at that location with the bicycles placed on the bottom left portion of the scene and Marianne of France at center stage as the star of the show. Marianne is the symbol for France like our Statue of Liberty.

paper, sequins, acrylic 18 x 18 x 7/8" "Hanging Out" is an example of the collaboration between the artist and the work that often happens if the artist takes the time to listen. This piece began as a collage of a western landscape, but slowly a different image began to emerge. Initially the artist saw a torso similar to a headless Degas ballerina, then a sleeveless jump suit appeared that clearly was in need of a hanger.

acrylic, paper, and ink 19 x 25 x 1" On a trip to Costa Rica, I did some nature hikes with a local guide in the old-growth forests. He was terrific at spotting animals up in the trees. We would view them through a high-power spotting scope (similar to binoculars but with only one lens). I loved viewing the world through the microcosm of a small circle. It made me focus on a tiny aspect of the greater jungle around us, ignoring everything around me. As an artist, I also like to create that focused direction in my artwork. I lead the viewer to what I want them to see through color, shape, value, and line.

drypoint print 10 x 7 x .5" “Mistaken” is a drypoint print with watercolor and gouache highlights. The print is based on an original figure drawing and was made on a piece of thick plexiglass that cracked when I tried to re-bevel the edges. The figure (who nearly had her hand cut off in the process) looks back at the artist and viewer reproachfully.

oil 24 x 30 x 1.25" I fell in love with Italy many years ago, and have returned a few times. There is so much beauty in the landscape, their sculptures, the piazzas and museums. So a year ago I traveled to Florence (again), Lake Como and Cinque Terre. Taking photos always holds the memories of the trip for me. I chose a photo from Cinque Terre as inspiration for my painting. The lighting was perfect for an afternoon, the boats were moored after a day of work, and two people sitting and chatting completed the scene.

oil on canvas 18 x 24" This artwork was born right after Hurricane Sandy caused major devastation along its path. Seeing the destruction of her home and city, the artist found solace in her community's unity to rebuild. The artists went through personal hurricane around the same years, and her work is a tribute to a human spirit and strength. Using the Peacock as a symbol of resilience and beauty, she portrays a world where human can conquer even the most catastrophic events. Through her use of vibrant colors and intricate details, the artist captures the essence of this remarkable spirit, portraying a world in which even the darkest of moments can be transformed into a source of fortitude and inspiration.

acrylic on canvas 14 x 11 x 1" Inspired by 17th century Dutch still lifes. This painting is symbolic. The quail eggs and feathers symbolize the spring, the hope and a new beginning.

conte crayon and ink on Sunset Velvet Rag 18 x 24 x 1" Perhaps in these times where we see women's rights being literally ripped away from us, we can be inspired by those in the past like Eleanor Roosevelt who battled the odds and never gave up -- she fought for us. Let's keep fighting with all we have, from protest marches to voting for change to electing a judicial body that speaks for us. We must use all the tools we have, including conte crayon on paper, to salute our heroines and ignite others to continue the good fight. The battle continues.

oil on canvas 24 x 24 x 2" Fresh Water Stone Garden is about reflections in the natural world as we see them in quiet waters, repeated in subtle variations, and has a double meaning of reflections in life: how we choose to be surrounded by the images that cause us to look within ourselves for new insights.

mixed media encaustic collage on cradled board 24 x 24" As a society, we are filling the universe with all kinds of junk and my collections of the patterns inside security envelopes only take a tiny fraction out of the waste stream. The protective intention of these decorative patterns is to camouflage & shield financial information. From an endless supply I pick the patterns that appeal to me and cut the envelopes into hexagons. Painting, drawing, handmade paper, gilding and encaustic combine in layers —building pattern and color. I layer tirelessly and final works have a very different appearance and impact. Straw into gold—the hexagons, plus the flux & flow of hot encaustics, transforms the junk mail that endlessly fills my space.

photography 20.5 x 19 x 1.25" In many ways, "Mussels on Tray" reflects the “lightbulb moment” in the development of my art form. It signifies the point in time during which I realized that the assemblies I was making from collected seashells and marine-life specimens, could be conveyed in photographs - still life’s that took on an almost painterly quality, highlighting the rhythm and repeating patterns found in nature. They twist and turn, nestled in one another, reflecting the force of movement that brought them to the shore, not unlike the force of movement that brought me to the full-time pursuit of creative expression – losing my daughter 13 years ago, when she crossed the street for a school bus in Los Angeles.

acrylic 30 x 30 x 1.5" A native New Yorker who has recently moved full time to Montauk, NY, I find the extraordinary sunsets throughout the years changing seasons inspirational. Whether taking walks in the woods or on the beach, the light never disappoints. Camp Hero was a former Air Force Station in Montauk, now part of Camp Hero State Park. It was during a walk here at sunset that my mind's eye captured and remembered the forceful color explosion that turned into this painting.

oil 30 x 30 x 2" My paintings speak of the accumulation of life experiences. The multi-faceted nature of that which is beautiful but sad, is evidenced by heavily textured surfaces with repeated scrapings, layers and metallic pigments. The surfaces draw the viewer to the mystery of what is hidden and to the artist's internal reflections. Radiant pigments counterbalance the rough textural terrain of the emotional landscape. They afford glimpses of lightness, mystery and joy.

bronze 13 x 12 x 4.5" My first job after college was as a graphic designer in Lexington, Ky. Having ridden my whole life, I always wanted to train a young horse. A friend said, you have to see this colt, he’s headed to the kill pens. I paid the kill price, he’d never been handled, came right over to me, & followed me. 18 mo. old and he knew. He walked right on the trailer. For almost 20 years, Maximillion was my constant companion & soulmate through 3 states, new jobs, new relationships. Sane, willing and smart. Maximillion earned us many championships including National ones. He got sick one day, suddenly. He was almost twenty and retired, He didn’t make it through surgery. This sculpture is dedicated to him.

acrylic 16 x 20 x 2" I am often inspired to paint by the skies lit above and around me. Seasonal changes, daily shifting cloud shows, spectacular displays of color with dawn and the setting sun remind me to pause and take note....this moment....this very one will never happen again.

mica rock, fiber and molding paste, acrylics on wood cradle board 12 x 16 x 2" My inspiration came from challenging myself using unusual materials that I already had and a subject that I’ve never selected before. Working on a wooden cradle board, I glued on thin transparent layers of mica rock. A small palette knife with fiber and molding pastes were used to create the textured feathers. Acrylic pants completed the bas relief painting. I surprised myself with the results because I did not know if the combination would work.

oil on canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5" This painting, like many other of my paintings conveys a visceral experience of a place, rather than describing its likeness. The painting itself evolves from a synthesis of memory, imagination and the process of painting itself. Natural elements are expanded or reduced as I layer on glazes of color. The layered veils of color reflect a fragile luminous quality.

relief print with chine-colle 11 x 14 x 1" This is a view from my studio building, using real and imagined colors. I constructed the collagraph plate with multiple layers of cardboard and string. Initially conceived as a print in black and white, I am inspired to add color using chine-colle. In this piece I roll out the ink first, apply glue to each piece of colored paper, then place the individual papers colored side down on the inked plate. The print paper is then placed on top of the plate, where the ink will now transfer to the colored papers, and the colored papers will adhere to the print paper. I hand rub, and finally pull the print from the plate. I am having so much fun playing with a variety of color combinations!

acrylic, archival repurposed artist's rags, 23.5k gold leaf 10 x 10 x 3" At eight, when studying oil painting, I knew I would speak through my art. I have always been passionate about the beautiful palette of human diversity and nature, but also empathetic to the struggles of humanity and the vulnerability of all life forms. My decades long art career has been dedicated to making art about these passions. I observe and research for each painting. Something as small as a fruit fly, a beautiful human head, or a magnificent winter landscape seen from the train as I travel between my studios in Pittsburgh and NYC can inspire a large, multifaceted painting that combines human diversity, Mother Nature, and often the global struggles of women.

gouache & Carand'Ache NeoColorsII on oleo paper 14.625 x 18.62 x 1.5" Having a vantage point away from people can give you the opportunity to really "study and see" the life happening around you. As an artist, this is very important and inspirational. The medium, gouache and Carand'Ache ll Aquarelle colors, gives an immediate opportunity to express and create the artwork. It lays down fast and dries quickly. I hope this piece, "Sunday morning at Track5, Coffee Shop", draws you in to really observe the painting. The "Characters" enjoying coffee under the moody warm lighting, seeming to create a movie like set. The fun of being so close, yet in your own space. Sometimes having nothing more in common than that morning brew & conversation. Enjoy!

freehand digital painting, archival ink on canvas 24 x 30 x 1.5" “Never Again” is my response to Roe v. Wade being overturned. In this painting we see a scared, young woman being escorted to a clinic. One of the escorts holds up a hanger with the bottom wire twisted to read “never again.” My fear is that abortions will once again become deadly. In reality, this only affects lower income girls and women as those more financially secure will just go to other states or countries.

photography 18 x 24" While photographing one very cold morning in New York City, I noticed a woman approaching half a block away.. She reminded me of my sister. Using some plastic sheeting hanging from a doorway as a filter I made an image at a slow shutter speed. Upon returning home I found it. There she was. My sister never said goodbye as I had arrived too late.that fateful day. This felt like my moment to do so.

acrylic on panel 18 x 18" My My Blueberry Pie is about a favorite memory shared with my mom who is 94. Every summer we watch the hummingbirds on the porch at the lake. We get in our kayaks and paddle to a little island that is loaded with blueberries. We pick in silence, except for the sound of the birds, waves and boats. I look over and my mom is happy as a clam as she climbs deeper and deeper into the blueberry bush. We bring our stash home, clean them. We find the recipe, earmarked in our camp journal, written in my mother's handwriting. Realizing with a smile we have omitted the main ingredient. We work in tandem making the pie. We savor every bite back on the porch with the hummingbirds. Summer has arrived.

metal print with AI-assisted image 20 x 20" The Trust In Me series came about as a motivating manifestation. Like all artists, I go through the phases of extreme self-criticism. Moving to another city, to another country, you can’t help but start comparing yourself to others. You think you are not doing enough. You are not enough. In order to create freely you need to be connected with yourself. Spending more time alone and reflecting helps to hear that inner voice. Only YOU can know what to do next. I named each work in honor of women who in my opinion changed or magically touched the art world, As part of a series this work represents J. K. Rowling.

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.

photograph 26 x 26 x 1.5" Inspired by Andy Warhol, the range of expressions in this quad was captured through conversation while exploring the idea, What is Female? I would offer that the best version of ourselves is not chromosomal assignment, but an enlightened combination of the feminine and masculine traits that we all possess, which are clearly visible in our expressions, and shared in our daily interactions with one another.

acrylic 21 x 17 x 1" I have always been interested in the stories of women who create. Whatever the medium is--poetry, fiction, non-fiction, painting, sculpture, music--wherever the muse takes them. My own artistic career has been varied, with writing fiction, non-fiction (journalism) and painting taking precedence. A passion for photography has led to an interest in expressionistic portraiture, using photographs of artists, past and present, as a springboard for my own painting. Some believe that a photograph lies as it only captures a moment but what can be read in that moment has helped me in my own search for the truth behind the image., which has led to my Strong Women series.

watercolor and mixed media 18 x 14 x 1" I am an abstract painter, and I work primarily in watercolors with mixed media elements. I’m inspired by the interplay of colors, shapes, and uneven lines, and I love the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor paints. I work very intuitively: I always have a starting point - a particular color combination or focal point - but then I just go wherever inspiration leads me, often surprising myself! Painting is the best therapy I know. It brings me peace, balance, and joy, and it helps me maintain an even keel in our uncertain times. My Blue Heaven is a reminder to find intentional moments of gratitude.

monotype 21.5 x 17.5" My piece "Wandering Triangle" is one of a series of monotypes where I have experimented with movement and abstraction. Monotypes are often called "the painters's print" because they are a free, easy and fluid technique. People have often commented on how much directional motion they observe in both my prints and paintings. This may emerge from the fact that I am a dancer in addition to being a visual artist. In this case, the triangle subject seems to take a multi-dimensional journey as we all do in life.

watercolors and fluid acrylics 24 x 28 x 1" This “Ghost story…” epitomizes the perpetuity of time’. A woman's experiences flow like water. Our adventures can be charted seen ebbing from the past and streaming towards the future. Tenaciously, we live and as we tally up experiences, adapting our stories to make our lives work, our memories resiliently swing from the past to become optical illusions for the present.

unique photo transfer technique with intaglio print 21 x 17" My husband and I went to a fundraiser for the Litchfield Jazz Camp in Connecticut, and there was a young man playing with the adults in the ensemble that was entertaining. I was so impressed with his playing that I took a few photos. I have used this unique photo transfer technique, which mimics aquatint (sort of- not purely of course), because I like the texture and unpredictability of it. I created a drypoint intaglio plate to superimpose over the photo transfer, and this is the result. There is jazz music around me all the time, so musical themes are some of the subject matter in my artwork. I enjoy the challenge of showing something purely aural in a visual way.

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.
