  • 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.

  • Pressing on No. 2 collage: thread, woven paper on vintage iron
    Size: 5.5 x 3.25 x 10
    PRESSING ON Series combines artifact, word* and fiber – the hardness of iron, the softness of fibers, and the wisdom of words, as a testament to generations of women, the multi-layered heritage, domesticity and female domains. Antique sad (solid) irons evoke the tactile, experiential memory - the personal 'herstories'. Utilizing: *text from writings by pro-feminist, abolitionist, writer Hannah More, published anonymously in 1791. More's life-long overriding cause was galvanizing women to act not as domestic ornaments, but as thinking, engaged and responsible beings. Hannah gave the abolitionist movement a public voice with her writings. Dying in September of 1833, she lived just long enough to see slavery abolished in the British Empire. Awareness of the dedicated work of Hannah More in the 18th C. illustrates the depth and density of deep seated issues within our culture and inspires us to continue to raise one's voice to inequality and injustice.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hope
    acrylic on two switchable panels .
    Size: 17.5 x 11.25
    Given the state of our world, I wanted to paint an Icon of hope. For me in my life hope comes often from my garden, and I was thrilled when I realized that two denizens of my garden, Swallows and Artichokes, are traditionally conceived as symbolic of hope. Swallows (Hirundo Rustica) carry the spirits of deceased children giving ease to grieving parents, and the tender-hearted Artichokes have long been symbols of prosperity and hope. I wanted to show how these beings, especially the swallows, bring treasure and beauty into my garden and take what they find there back out into the world. Giving and gaining, stitching the realms together. So, I split the image into two reflections and made the painting convertible. Hung one way the Swallows are incoming and hung the opposite way they are dispersing.

  • Emerge
    acrylic on paper mounted to wooden cradle
    Size: 5 x 7 “Emerge” is an intimately small painting filled with structural elements, yet free of real-world relationships. It is the opposite of the massive scale of buildings done when I was an architect. Elements of bold translucent colors bring a lively rhythm to the structural grid. As an artist I am free of architectural and structural constraints, free to move into a world purely of my own creation.

  • acrylic 48 x 60 x 1.5" Nature, for me, is a constant source of inspiration. This pink jungle has many paths to travel. Playfully we encounter many different animals throughout this landscape, even a dog with green dancing shoes! Being in nature reminds me of the paradox of our own complexity and our own smallness. Our feeling both small and vast in the natural world leads to stillness. In the stillness, we become aware of our inner light. This is the light of our true nature and our sacred heart. May all beings cultivate joy along this path to true enlightenment.

    Size: 10 x 8" Becoming empty nesters had a profound impact on me and my husband.

I interpret everything about growth through nature, as it teaches profound lessons of how to live through all seasons. As I painted, I kept imagining two flowers that are intertwined together. There are seed components and movement of growth throughout the work. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • acrylic & pastel on wood 48 x 48 x 2" In summer 2022, I was invited to my neighbor’s house at midnight to watch the blooming of their Queen of the Night flower (also known the Dutchman’s pipe cactus). It blooms only once a year in the darkness of the night and withers in the morning. It was such a profound lesson to me that nature allows such magnificence to occur in darkness. Applying this lesson to my own life, I was encouraged in my personal health challenges. Even in the hardships and darkness, I should continue fighting because beauty flourishes even in the most adverse of circumstances.

  • Painting Healthy Skeptic 18 x 18 x 1 in. When I start a new portrait, I work to establish a faithful depiction of my subject first, through careful sketching and underpainting, paying close attention to the underlying bone structure, musculature and proportion. Then, with my choices of color, texture, brushwork, and some intuition, I try to go beyond, to capture a sense of the subject’s inner self as well.   A finished painting conveys a likeness, but hopefully also a presence; when you look at it, you might feel it is looking back at you.

  • oil on canvas
    24 x 36"
    Through my paintings, I've become attentive to the splendid drama of my everyday world. I'm intrigued by both the natural and man-made world and our place as humans in it. Through accentuating the inherent qualities of man-made materials like metal, concrete, and asphalt and the way artificial light illuminates and reflects on these materials, I try to transform what could be considered mundane subject matter to the sublime.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
