Photograph 12 x 12 in. For years our family has gone to Hill Top Orchards in Richmond. This year there was a chill in the air. The apples were everywhere. Some fell on the ground. I picked them up and felt that this was worth an image! Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

I spent a whole day taking photos up and down the bridge. I couldn't wait to see what photo would impress me the most when I got home. It was the Great White Trillium. A dramatic flower with wide petals and yellow stamen. It is majestic. I felt like Georgia O'Keef painting beautiful petals with streaming yellow centers splashing into one another. That's why I named this piece of artwork, My Cup Runneth Over.

photography 28.5 x 24" Around the Keukenof Gardens, you will find the most beautiful tulip fields in the Netherlands. The designers' arrangements of the tulips excited me. Beautiful yellows, reds, pinks, purples, and whites transformed into a magnificent painting. I was inspired to create with my camera my interpretation of the tulips. Using a Topaz filter, I was able to push and pull the colors of the tulips until I was satisfied that the Explosion of colors were perfect. I want the viewer to experience my image so that it will enhance your imagination and lift your spirit. I hope that what I have seen through my heart becomes visible through your eyes.

I use concepts of abstraction, cubism, and surrealism to explore the elusive qualities of time, energy, and storytelling. My influences come from everywhere, other art forms, such as jazz music, and the directness of child art. My artistic goal is to create seductive surfaces and provocative forms that involve the viewer in an emotional visual adventure, where they discover associations and meaning. I explore unique materials and techniques and invent images and narratives from my imagination .In this work I am responding to the tumultuous times in which we live. The layer of faces, sizes and positioning are a metaphor for relationships.acrylic paint on a natural gourd 11 x 9 x 9"

acrylic 11 x 9" As a fine artist: painter and sculptor, I use concepts of abstraction, cubism, and surrealism to explore the elusive qualities of time, energy, and storytelling. My artistic goal is to create seductive surfaces and provocative forms that involve the viewer in an emotional visual adventure. This painting is executed with acrylic paint on a third dimensional gourd. I redefine the use of the natural plant gourd as a third dimensional canvas. The gourd is a member of the pumpkin family. This plant form is dried, opened and the seeds removed. The surface is primed, images are rendered and finished with a protective matte varnish. Although coated inside the vessel may not be used for liquid. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

My artistic goal is to create seductive surfaces and provocative forms that involve the viewer. I call these works "Mindscapes". My influences come from everywhere, other art forms, the directness of child’ art, past experiences, and current social situations. I want my painting to be fresh, and direct and engage the viewer in interpretation.

acrylic 15 x 15" My paintings celebrate those moments when our compassion for others illuminates and transforms us and the world around us. These acts of love and kindness are often unnoticed and forgotten. The women in my work are nurturers and peacemakers. Since ancient times women have personified compassion, wisdom and peace. I am a storyteller and my paintings have been described as "visual poetry". Stories help us to remember that we are all connected, and what affects one of us, affects all of us. They have the power to inspire us to create the inner peace that sows the seeds for compassion for others. Our intimate connection with nature and our role as nurturers and protectors are reoccurring themes in my work. Albert Schweitzer once said that until we extend the circle of our compassion to all living things, we will not find peace. Acrylics and oils are my primary media. Drawing is a defining element for me, I begin by blocking out major shapes with a strong dark line. Using linear brushstrokes that create movement, unity and rhythm, I add multiple layers of color, texture, pattern and sometimes canvas, continually refining my original drawing. My goal is to tell a universal story of compassion, peace and joy. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

pastel 11 x 14" I have developed a group of totally imaginary magically realistic oil paintings that I call my “Water Circus” series. The joy of taking a man-made or natural object and creating something new and fresh is very appealing to me. I allow myself a chance to play, to feel the rhythm of their form and reveal the hidden image in a new and unique way. I like to leave all possibilities open, to start unattached to the outcome, with everything totally permitted, thus enabling me to fully enjoy the process of discovery. I make my own paint by hand mixing dry pigments with burnt plate oil (a refined linseed oil used as the binder for etching ink). Because of this, I use thin glazes of the primary colors, add Liquin to hasten the drying, and build multiple layers of opaque values of each color in the egg tempera technique manner. The finished color relationships are always a surprise. This painting is a portrait of characters developed in this series.

As there will always be more to learn about the unseen that makes up everything, this work seeks to engage in a playful conversation with surprises that will reveal themselves in time. Recognizing that we are all "made up of the same stuff," my hope is that the visual connection viewers may make with the piece will plant the seeds for this awareness in other aspects of our lives, especially those that seek to sow division.acrylic, airbrush, latex, ink on canvas 48 x 48 x 1"

Synaptic contact is necessary for the transmission, analysis, and comprehension of stimuli meant to aid the body in functioning, but also in the development of language, critical thinking, and intelligence. As a philosophical, humanist artist, this painting and its theme become allegories for my intentions to foster and nurture new connections through art.acrylic, airbrush, latex, ink, oil pastel, UV pigments on canvas 60 x 120"

acrylic, airbrush, alcohol ink, oil pastel 40 x 48 x 1.5" Our world sometimes seems to be buffeted by forces beyond our grasp or comprehension. This diptych is informed by the "weather" of culture, politics, religion, differing ideologies. Much like a meteorologist might follow radar maps to stay informed on what's coming, sometimes the "weather" can still take us by surprise. Will it be sunny and predictable? Will it be turbulent and stormy? Looking at daily life through this filter, allows me some solace in letting go of things over which I have no control (like the real weather).

mixed media: acrylic, ink, pencil, oil pastel on canvas panel 13 x 16 x 1" Seeking to create deeper relationship with each viewer, no matter their experience or background, my visual language consistently relies upon the use of layers and color theory to invoke dimension and vibration. An abstract conceptual artist, my hope is to sustain conversations about our common needs and desires as a species, including companionship, safety, food, shelter, purpose, joy, understanding, compassion, wonder, belonging, comfort, and love.

colored pencil on paper 34 x 23" New Beginnings is a portrait of my son using my own reference photographs, imagination and live luna moths that we raised and studied. The use of the luna moth and rosemary are to symbolize transformation, renewal, regeneration, faith, love, remembrance, and clarity after overcoming the trials and tribulations of the pandemic. My goal was to use a vibrant, saturated and painterly style to create a magical mood. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

pastel on paper, mounted photograph 50 x 103 x 3" My assemblages: pastel on paper and mounted photographs, are created by layering juxtaposing elements: nature vs. glitter. The viewers are immersed into my glowing, dazzling world of color, light, dimension and beauty. I create these stills by combining the elements: photographs of the landscape in seasons and detailed photographs of glowing or glittering moments . The paralleling objects are added to accentuate these phenomena. These compelling compositions are the culmination of many carefully executed steps that define my unique creative process. My intent is to captivate the audience and lure them into my world of undeniable beauty.

It is to meet myself in the wellspring and have a conversation with the viewer, to communicate in a deep and intimate way at first sight, in an instant. I strive only to be in harmony with each line, each splash of color and splatter of ink as it strikes the painting surface, to reveal what is already there. The experience of making marks gets truly exciting when I resist the impulse to name what I’m seeing take shape and open myself up to the possibility of not knowing, of just seeing and experiencing whatever is in front of me – what it is saying, what it is becoming. To let it do me rather than me do it.Monoprint using a milk carton as the plate

To let it do me rather than me do it. I wish for anyone who stands or sits in front of a piece of art created in my studio this same experience. I don’t want viewers to know or feel what I feel. I want them to know and feel whatever they feel. That is for me the true nature of all art: beauty that is unrepeatable and unnamable.
