The Night Brings Freedom collage: rice, gelee, Mulberry papers, acrylic paint and markers, fabric and thread 10 x 15 After 4 years studying painting at Tyler School of Art in the 1970’s, life led me into a private practice in psychology. My desire to return to art never left me. Ten years ago, after experiencing significant losses, I rekindled my passion for art. I feel whole again and continue helping others heal, along with my healing through art. I create abstract paintings and collages exploring grief/loss. In the process I uncover joy, strength, courage and resilience. Layering, blending and glazing shapes and colors keep those no longer here visible and remembered. Drawing in lines bonds me to others. These lines remind me of Kintsugi, a Japanese art of mending broken pottery into something more beautiful and resilient. I intentionally show staples and ripped paper- grief is messy and my art mirrors this. Making art gives me purpose, endless possibilities and awakens an excitement that will last me a lifetime.

Passengers 1printmaking12 x 12After a drive through a state park, I was inspired to make line drawings of rock formations viewed from the passenger window of the car.

Decay's Gift encaustic, fabric, and Kozo paper on wood panel 16 x 16 Decay's Gift challenges our ideas of where beauty resides. Beauty is associated with freshness, perfection, or permanence. But if beauty is confined to what has not yet faded, we overlook one of creation's fundamental truths. All living things move through a rhythm of birth, flourishing, decline, and death. Each stage depends upon the others. What appears to be an ending becomes nourishment for what follows. Decay is not merely the loss of life but the quiet work that makes new life possible, and essential to the story of beauty. By embracing the fullness of these cycles, we discover that beauty is not diminished by time or mortality but deepened through transformation.

Iris Entangled watercolor 27 x 19 I love viewing natural objects as potential paintings. Nature soothes me, and my art aims to create a peaceful feeling using vibrant colors and intricate patterns. I find a childlike wonder in watching water create beautiful shapes.

Transient oil on birchwood panel 14 x 11 I love working with oil paint and people inspire most of my work. The model who posed for this painting , Emily Metalskin, is one of the most inspiring models I have had the pleasure of working with; a consummate professional her poses evoke unique characteristics. In “Transient"I painted her as a woman experiencing the quandary of being a lone homeless wanderer, a condition I could relate to on a personal level having been, in my younger years, just that. It is essential for me to find an aspect of recognition in all my subjects be they animal vegetable or mineral; to create a felt story of life through the medium of visual art.

Asking Questions acrylic and metallic paint on canvas 36 x 36 37 x 37 More than seven layers of transparent paint create the background upon which opaque black acrylic paint was used to inscribe research questions copied from an ocean scientist's handwritten notebook. Several more transparent layers were added over the writing. Silver metallic paint was then used to define the fluid shapes suggesting ocean water. Though specifically about ocean research, the painting celebrates the tremendous growth in all the scientific research that has taken place over the past century, and the significant ways that women now take on leadership roles in all the sciences.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Night Music is my response to the sounds of nature I experience late at night from the deck of my cabin in the Vermont woods. The human sounds quiet down. My moment of solitude changes to reverie. I am transported by a symphony of natural sounds that fill the air--the rhythmic chorus of the frogs and crickets, the roar of rushing of water in the nearby river, and the percussive sound of wind rustling through the trees all rise up as i gaze at the stars in the dark sky above. The music is soon punctuated by the haunting calls of a pair of great horned owls. I painted Night Music to remember this magical experience.acrylic on Bristol board 10 x 8"

The Craftsman graphite, charcoal, and colored pencil on tinted drawing paper 9 x 13 These are my husband's hands. Old. Arthritic. But they continue to create, and make beautiful things from wood.

Spring Garden Passage oil on canvas 25 x 19.5 I went to see an indoor art collection, but what also enchanted me were the gardens. I found this bridge in a parklike setting that featured pine trees and a lazy brook flowing gently to a larger pond. The main feature is the stone bridge which allows for the passage of time and wonderment, as to where the bridge might be taking the viewer. The bridge and the rocks have sharp geometric shapes compared to the softness of the trees and flowing water. To complement all the green trees, I began with a warm majenta color as a base and painted the trees in cool greens leaving flecks of majenta to show through. The play of warm and cool colors adds liveliness to this tranquil scene. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

The Mariposa oil 20 x 24 framed size: 23 x 27 I was in Costa Rica on a residency and a butterfly flew into my studio, and I saw myself taking flight as an artist. In my early years, I had to use my husband's name to get admitted into galleries. I worked tirelessly as a feminist promoting women's rights, chaining myself to the Statue of Liberty with the Congresswoman Bella Absug. This portrait represents the freedom to express myself as an artist. The imagery around the background represents the nuts on a beach tree (beginnings). The red flowers represent my life flowering. The fern turning brown symbolized my life aging. The butterfly image illustrates my journey to express myself as a woman and an artist.

Memories in Bloom oil on board 18 x 20 I attended Fashion Institute of Technology. After 10 years of designing clothes for various companies I left to raise a family and complete a BS degree in Visual Arts at SUNY College at Old Westbury. In 2009 I became Co-President of The Art Guild, located in Manhasset, New York. Flowers, gardening, nature and crafts have always appealed to me. My natural inclination is to paint moments where light is the main attraction. I want to emphasize the energy created by the shadows and the glow of the highlights. I work in Pastel, oil and mosaic and have studied with the late Anthony Palombo, Howard Rose, Jackie Kamin and Robert A. Johnson. I have exhibited at The Art Guild, The Graphic Eye Gallery, The Atelier at Flowerfield, Suburban Art League and the National Art League.

Hadson Valley 22 x 26 oil on canvas This painting depicts Clermont Manor set within a landscape that captures the natural essence of the Hudson River Valley with its slow-moving waters and the unhurried rhythm of life in Upstate New York. The Clermont mansion is a historic site; Robert R. Livingston, a member of the Committee of Five appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence, resided on this estate. In this painting, I portray an idyllic union of human endeavor and nature. To this day, this mansion stands as a symbolic emblem of our conflicting aspirations, our desire for beauty and harmony with the natural world, alongside our attempts, whether intentional or inadvertent, to subjugate nature through the landscapes we have shaped.

Legend of Golden Woman oil on canvas 11 x 14 Two hundred years ago, a legendary "gold-boiling city" known as Mangazeya existed in Siberia. Historical accounts mention a massive golden monument standing at the very heart of this city. The monument took the form of a female figure. Many indigenous peoples of northern Siberia lived under a matriarchal social structure and held a deep belief in nature spirits. It is possible that this "Golden Woman"—or *Golden Baba*—embodied the spirit of wealth and prosperity. As life in Siberia evolved and new trade routes emerged, the city began to decline. Eventually, Mangazeya vanished, and with it, the Golden Baba disappeared as well. While the era of matriarchy now survives primarily in memory, the legend of the Golden Baba lives on to this day. Many believe that the golden sculpture was hidden away somewhere, and they continue to search for it in the secluded depths of the Siberian taiga. Yet perhaps they are looking in the wrong place. It is possible that the Golden Baba is, in fact, a symbol of Woman—the very foundation upon which earthly life rests. She represents our grandmothers, mothers, and sisters—those who give life and protect it. I believe, a golden monument to Woman should be erected in every country; that would be truly fair.

On the Eve of Apocalypse oil 24 x 18 framed size: 28 x 22 This painting is dedicated to my great-grandmother Anna. Anna and her husband lived in Siberia. They were a wealthy family from the upper class. In 1917, the Russian Revolution took place and civil war began. The communist Bolsheviks who came to power killed the rich and took away their property. Anna survived, but she was left alone, without a husband and without any money. I don't know exactly how my great-grandmother overcame this nightmare, but I know that she continued to live alone, still living her life with dignity. She didn't ask for help, she offered it. I know very little about her, but that doesn't make her resilience any less significant. She fell from a rich and predictable life into a poor and destitute one, but remained a person of dignity and faith. The background on which Anna is depicted is a symbolic image of her native Siberian city as it was before the Revolution, on the eve of Apocalypse.

Siberian Heritage oil on canvas 24 x 18 This painting depicts a young girl with an intricate hairstyle, a lace collar, and a hat on which a wooden house, a tree, and domestic animals are depicted. This painting symbolizes a person's difficult choice: the desire to free oneself from the difficult past, and at the same time the search for oneself, including in connection with one's ancestry. The blue color in which this painting is executed symbolizes memory, the connection of times, and the metaphysical homeland of all artists - the Space of Art.

South Florida oil on canvas 18 x 24 In working on my painting "South Florida," I wanted to express my admiration for the natural beauty of this unique place. The rich diversity of flora and fauna. The bright sunlight. The rain washing the leaves of the tropical trees. The expanses of water and golden sand. The combination of the rich greenery, the sun-drenched houses, and the bright blue sky over the turquoise sea, all of this makes this place for me magically captivating.

Summer in the City 24 x 20 oil on canvas This painting explores the relationship between an artist and the metropolis. It is a complex relationship. The city, with its cubic forms, the scarcity of nature on its streets, its frenetic pace of life and noise, its biting cold in winter and hellish heat in summer, enters into a complex interplay with the artist. It helps him, inspires him, and at times overwhelms him; yet, simultaneously, it prevents him from drowning in a sense of solitude.

Haro of Sorrows - goodbyes sculpture 25 x 16 x 9 I am of Irish descent. My great grandparents emigrated in 1855 from Ireland to the US (upstate New York) because of the potato famine. The sculpture is symbolic of the Irish diaspora. One side the family is waving goodbye to a family member leaving on a boat. The other side is a woman who signed up to be an indentured servant in the new land. She is looking through the sails as her family recedes in the distance.

Leaning stoneware 15 x 7 x 9 The piece started as a block of clay. The model took the stand and I asked her to take different poises.

A strong women emerged that had confidence though leaning but keeping her balance. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mary Fields sculpture 25 x 14 x 13 I was reading about relatively unknown African Americans, and I came across Mary Fields. I wanted to capture her essence in sculpture, and worked from a few photos. She was a freed slave who made her way by working for a convent, running a laundry, a stagecoach driver, and the first woman US mail carrier. She was 6 foot tall, cigar smoking, gun toting, and dressed in men's clothing, but always wore a white apron. Her one concession to being a woman. She was tough and no one messed with her. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mary Fields 24 x 14 x 13 plaster cast with applied patinas. Mary Fields is a historic figure, and emblematic of little known history of our black citizens.

Mary worked for a Catholic convent, owned a restaurant, ran a laundry, and became the first women to be a US mail carrier.

Posing bronze on marble base 12 x 3 x 5 I saw a photo of a model posing - self assured, and confident in her image.

Ochre Grey Seascape watercolor pencil on bristol 9 x 12 Seascape inspired by the subtle atmospheric conditions. While grounded in reality, it draws on the aesthetic traditions of minimalism, realism and remembrance art. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to evoke realms of the imagination. I seek to establish a link between reality and imagination based on my interior response to a subject....create a place where fiction and reality balance.

Resilience oil on linen panel 16 x 13 In late January 2026 Upstate NY was expecting a huge snowstorm. The air was hushed and quiet. An injured deer was instinctively hunkering down in the snowdrifts that served as his only shelter, awaiting the onslaught. I was emotionally overwhelmed at the resilience shown by this vulnerable being, up against such brutal forces.

Dark Hug of Time 24 x 24 x 1.75 oil and cold wax on panel Dark Hug of Time is a meditation on memory and the passage of seasons, rendered in oil and cold wax. The painting’s layered surfaces trace the slow fading and sharpening of recollections, much like autumn leaves fading in the light. Thick, tactile strokes rest alongside translucent washes, inviting contemplation of what endures and what quietly slips away. Created during a period shadowed by my sister’s illness, this work channels the complex embrace of loss—how memories overlap in contrasting layers, some vivid, others more elusive. The fall-inspired palette emerged almost without intent, reflecting the natural cycle of endings that make room for renewal. Through this piece, I sought to hold close the dark warmth of time itself, capturing its weight and tenderness in color and texture. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Midnight Refuge oil and cold wax on paper 13 x 9 This piece is part of a series where I explore the idea of what home means. A house is not a home until it is defined by its inhabitants who live, breathe, and create memories in that space.

Full of movement, depth, and a fluid, organic feel, it’s a celebration of transformation and fresh light rising—like the quiet turning of the seasons, where light gently reshapes the landscape within.

Copper Waves fibers, glass beads, metal, wood, & found objects 6 x 4.75 I recently expanded my love for weaving and basketry into complete works of art that tell a story or are based on a theme on a small scale. I begin with a subject for the mini weaving and choose recycled materials to add to the work as as I go along such as glass, beads, raffia, metal and found objects. I do not preplan the design but rather let the objects and fibers determine the composition and direction of the work as I create it. My inspiration for Copper Waves is derived from the strata earth formations in our underground environment and the various metallic colors found there.
