oil on Arches oil paper, mounted on stretched canvas 30 x 22 x 1.25" My concept of the seams of a society, as on a garment, refers to being placed at the edge, marginalized, or disenfranchised, but this can also indicate conditions that hold a people together, that bind. Each of my “Seams” works takes the viewer on a cultural journey. I want you to meet a few of my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances in places I have had the great fortune to visit or to work. I am excited to show how culture and economics shape people’s lives. I hope you can imagine the lives of the people I try to portray. I want to challenge stereotypes in the figurative and cultural depiction of people. In my current series of paintings, I explore the lives of Africans in Karatu, Tanzania, a rural town where I have lived and worked over several summers as a physician. People who work in or are served by the hospital live with the lingering effects of colonialism. They grapple with political, educational, and economic conditions that make it difficult to advance. I have been painting with oil on paper that I mount on canvas. I utilize my own handmade stamps developed from traditional Tanzanian kitenge cloth to print the backgrounds. My goal is to offer you a moment to slow your mind as you imagine the lives of others and explore with me the “Seams of Societies”.

Mixed Media 12 x 12 in. My art reflects and represents current events in performing arts and politics. People in the news inspire me, their movement, their expression, their passion for change. There is an emotional part of me in every painting. I am currently represented by Saphira & Ventura Gallery. Most recently, my painting "Doja Cat" was part of the Empower Her Art Forum, a multinational exhibition dedicated to raising women’s voices and the empowering ethos of art, at The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo, Egypt.

pastel 12 x 9" There are two ways I approach my paintings. With abstract paintings, I start with no plan. I start with mark making, texture and/or paints, inks, etc. and let my intuition guide me. I may use acrylic, oil, ink, watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, or all, along with many materials I’ve collected to add texture. I love this approach because it is so freeing. I love the play of bright colors against neutrals, dark against light, texture against smooth. I may end up with a painting I like or I may not. If not, I keep working and adding layers/scraping away until I do. Painting like this sometimes seems to be about solving problems, using my technical skills, letting my intuition guide me. With abstracts, I'm usually inspired by a strong emotion I'm feeling. The visual has more of an impact in expression than words do. The mind is too involved with words, but with visuals, so many senses and subconscious feelings come into play. I paint landscapes by planning a scene that captures; playing with different color schemes that best express what I see, doing sketches to determine the best layout and composition. The painting may or may not follow the course I planned. I get excited about the contrast between shadows and light coming from behind, or the surprising amount of color in an ocean wave, or the moodiness of a sky.

Acrylic 13 x 13" I seek to express the intangible experience of spirit. It is the awareness of the big picture. It is about the meaning of life and connection to self and others. I am exploring and expressing an inner experience through abstract images. I paint images that feel solid and spacious which is how I feel when I am experiencing “presence”. I have always noticed the subtleties of life whether it was observing beauty in nature or man-made, overcoming difficult challenges, and the complexities of the human experience. I process these experiences through painting.

acrylics on mixed media paper mounted to wooden cradle 7 x 7 1.25" Abstract art for me is a chance to invoke a wild, primal and unconventional style of expression full of color. I start each work with no real direction or plan and as the paint hits the canvas the story comes to life. Whether that story comes from a life experience or something affecting the world today, each work will become a window into a narrative once completed. My wish for whomever glances upon my art is to temporarily leave the conventional and glance into a gateway of a vibrant story.

Paint, Print, Paper, Fiber on Arches Paper 9 x 12 in. I'm an award-winning abstract artist who has worked in many disciplines during the course of a 35+year career. My current passions are creating textile artworks and/or mixed media collage. "No More Hanky Panky" is a combination of paint, print, paper and fiber. The fiber being a bit of yarn and pretty lace fabric cut-up from old underwear. I often use recycled materials in many of my artworks. A patron recently stated..." The depth of her life experiences is unmistakable in her art. I visited her website and was both delighted and moved. Each piece or series of pieces is visually distinctive, but no matter what medium she employs, there is a consistent richness of texture, vibrancy of color and fluidity of shape... a most prolific artist..."
