This piece draws its inspiration from the enchanting sounds of nature at night. Picture a captivating symphony orchestrated by the chorus of small creatures, a melodic masterpiece with no clear beginning or end. This harmonious composition sweeps everyone into a dance, casting a luminous glow upon the surroundings. In the heart of this auditory spectacle, I envisioned a diminutive creature perched delicately upon a leaf. With a magical touch, it plays an ethereal melody, weaving the nocturnal symphony into a mesmerizing tapestry of sound and light.

Transformation, connections, shadow and light are themes that I explore in my artistic practice. My work is constructed in layers that I keep apart allowing the shadows created by the change of light to become a vital part of the artwork. The shadows visually mingle with the two layers creating a labyrinthine image and revealing kaleidoscopic forms of interconnected microcosms. Strolleroptera is a word that I created combining English word "stroller" and the word "ptera" meaning "wings" in Greek.

"When I was young I remember my Mom talking about the Women's Rights Movement. Even as a child I understood that we all deserved to be treated equally so figured the movement would succeed. So, I focused on the need to protect the environment and animals. Half a century later, women are still treated as second class citizens struggling for our inherent rights and we are in the middle of an extinction crisis. What is to be done? One thing that can be done is to create Art that exposes the unbalanced way of thinking that drives inequality and the destruction of environment and wildlife." - Kathleen Zimmerman Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.20 x 20"graphite drawing - works on paper

Sun on Parkway Arch is one of a series of paintings made in 2022 to 2023 depicting the Henry Hudson Parkway, both within context of the surrounding park and river, and as a stand-alone structure. I was drawn to this particular perspective by the sunlight glancing off the top of the arch and the contrasting shadowed interior, which created a glorious range of warm and cool blues, greens and purples. The curves and lines also created an almost abstract image which I loved. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.24 x 18 x 1.5"oil on canvas

In Breaking Through the Matrix, I explore the complexities of our conditioned perceptions and the struggle to break free from the confines of a familiar narrative. This mixed-media piece combines painting, texture, and symbolism to convey a profound narrative of liberation and restraint. At the heart of the artwork is a figure, painted in deep green tones, standing resolutely amidst the expanse of a tranquil lake. This figure represents the individual, immersed in the vastness of existence yet tethered to the constructs of their surroundings. The green hues symbolize growth, renewal, and the ever-present desire for liberation. Embedded within the artwork are delicate gemstones and chains.

This painting was prompted by my walks in southwest Florida this Spring, when the weather is perfect and color abounds. I enjoy getting lost in the tropical forests of Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and the Naples Botanical Gardens, often getting "caught in the nettles" and savoring the flora and wildlife of our region -- bobcats, the endangered FL panther, alligators, and wonderful birds. I journal my experiences, writing a verse as I paint out my impressions and memories of these ventures.

The genesis of my piece titled Sunset Rays lies in a moment of serendipity driving along the highway. The sunlight pierced through the clouds in a manner that felt transcendent. Aware of the fleeting nature of such scenes, I was compelled to capture and preserve it as a painting. I find inspiration in the natural world, translating its essence into art using soft pastels. My creative process extends beyond simple observation; it involves capturing the vibrant interplay of colors, the flowing elegance of lines, and dynamic arrangement of shapes within the realm of light and shadow. Whether it's the ordinary or the extraordinary, I endeavor to encapsulate the ephemeral beauty I witness.

When photographing wildlife I look for motion and expression in my subjects. I often drive three hours or more to a wildlife area only to find the wildlife doesn’t cooperate! That was the case on the day I photographed this Great Blue Heron. The Heron personifies stoicism and resoluteness, as a gust of wind ruffles his feathers. His windswept feathers created the motion I needed to make the photo more engaging.

I find it fascinating how the light quality, colors and cloud formations dramatically change on a windy or stormy day. In minutes you can see dark to vibrant colors and go from cloudy to open skies.

No Tension is the beginning of a series around the idea of resilience.

Squaring the Circle- Structure is dancing with the intuitive, both are needed. The expression "squaring the circle" is sometimes used as a metaphor for trying to do the impossible. A women’s work is never done. Mindfulness is key. If you say that someone squares the circle, you mean that they bring together two things, which are normally thought to be so different that they cannot exist together. Mathematically, it has to do with irrational and rational numbers and mathematicians have been working on it since ancient Greece. A woman’s world today is complicated. The circle and spiral are in many ways more home than the square, but we live in a square world of houses and books and cities.

As the saying goes "when you know better, you do better", and I've applied that philosophy to my paintings, many of which I've repainted/reclaimed and turned into something completely different. I'm the only one who knows what the underpainting looked like--and most of that gets covered up (as in this painting Dressed Up) with a combination of acrylic paint and stenciling. I never know what the finished piece will look like, and that is what keeps the process exciting and interesting for me. There is always more than meets the eye!

The composition for this painting was inspired by the view from my campsite at Buffalo Gap Campground, part of the Dakota Prairie National Grasslands, during a road trip in September 2020. The mood and quality of the sky and sunset, though, borrowed from every sacrifice I have made in life. Whether I realized it at the time or not, each of those sacrifices involved a kind of faith. Sometimes, often much later, that faith can seem so foolish -- if not designed to deceive. However, this painting does not connote anger at that cycle, but rather peace.

Experiencing the vast rural spaces of unexplored lands of the Burren, County Clare, Ireland, I climbed upon the rocky limestone land, formed of great slabs of rock that were once the sea bed of an ocean millions of years ago. Dotted throughout that rocky surface I found ancient Neolithic monuments like the Poulnabrone Dolmen, one of Ireland’s most iconic and oldest dated megalithic archeological monuments, a portal tomb consisting of two large vertical stones standing on either side of an entrance capped with a massive sloping capstone.

I am inspired by undulating forces of nature: the formation of rocks eroded by wind and water and the shapes of organic forms. My sculpture addresses the interior and exterior of form by abstracting movement, force and tension. I explore the thought process revealing multilevel reflections of my inner self and collaborations between nature and culture. As an artist one of my communicative functions is to create awareness and reflect concerns for the natural world. Human intervention with nature has caused tension. I believe that with awareness, there is hope. Collaboration between nature and culture can effectively illuminate and channel proactive thoughts and change.

Conjuration is the act of calling upon, invoking or summoning a spirit, ghosts, demons, gods or other supernatural beings by means of a magic ritual. The central figure is the powerful Conjuror. In the right hand the figure is holding a feather and in the left has captured one of the 7 sister stars of the Pleiades. The conjuror is surrounded by a golden halo and has a white eagle on the head. According to legends the feather will blow in the wind & carry prayers to the Creator evoking the spirits bringing rain & keeping harmful entities at bay. The white eagle connects to the spiritual side and is a sign of a spiritual teacher. I wanted this painting to be spiritually evocative.

My artwork is a straightforward sharing of what I see in the world around me, whether it is my family and the traditions we share, or nature including rivers, lakes, rocks, and plants. Portrait work often captures a grandchild. Nature work is usually inspired by the lake area in northern Wisconsin where we have a family lake house, and by the gardens and trees of the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, or by public gardens I visit on trips. I want the viewer to see the beauty of those places, to smell the scent of flowers and hear the rush of a river depicted in my work. Wisteria and Hydrangea depicts plants at the Morton Arboretum.

Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who was born in Yamaguchi, Japan. When she was two years old, she was at home about one mile away from ground zero, when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Sadako was blown out of the window and her mother ran outside to find her, suspecting she may be dead, but instead found her two-year-old daughter alive with no apparent injuries. While they were fleeing the atomic blast, Sadako and her mother were caught in black rain. She survived for another ten years, becoming one of the most widely known "hibakusha" -- a Japanese term meaning "bomb-affected person" and later died of malignant lymph gland leukemia in 1955.

This piece belongs to a body of work in which I reimagined found twigs as trees with small local birds in their branches, but the piece of dried vine that became the body and legs for this piece was so clearly destined to be part of a complete, though abstract, human body that I was happy to make an exception to the tree limitation.

Recycled is an abstract expression—a personal, yet universal language—which combines concept with experience. It is many things at once. Technically: It is a mixed-media painting, a “combine” of painting with sculpture together with a collage of found, repurposed and recycled objects. Conceptually: It’s a puzzle, a design, a color way, a magical mystery to explore and decode thoughts and ideas about “recycling”. Physically: It is constructed from acrylic paint, watercolor crayon, archived with newly-created palette skins and found objects. All of these elements take direction from the Muses of the Imagination. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.13.25 x 13.25 x 3"mixed media

Babylon is located between the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers in present-day Iraq. Excavations have been described as the surgical aspect of archaeology: it is surgery of the buried landscape. Aerial views of digs (before drone photography) were typically line drawings of the site. This monotype transforms a sketch into a colorful representation of the excavation of Babylon. It was created by inking handmade paper plates and running the print through an etching press. Stencils define the rivers and create the rhythm of the landscape. Several passes through the press are made to achieve the final image. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.22 x 30"monotype with stenciling

In my work, I have at times carved female figures in place of traditional male figures, sometimes with animal attributes, like horns. Nyami Nyami shows here the face of a woman, with a snake tightly wrapped around her body. She bears the name of an African river god portrayed traditionally as a snake. The construction of the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River in the 1950’s caused the forced resettlement of an entire population under the British rule. Today, this piece is a call for environmental protection. It is meant to bring attention to the many indigenous sites that are threatened by pipelines, mining and human greed throughout the world.

This collage was inspired by a hike through the gorgeous landscape of Mt. Rainier, WA. I paint ordinary bags with acrylic, tear them into myriad pieces, which I then hand apply with matte medium to realize my vision. Inspired by nature’s beauty, my interest in this medium relates to the cycle of life and nature. The bags start out as trees, are made into paper bags, which I recycle, paint, tear, and collage into the image of the natural world which provided the original inspiration and energy.

Magic Tree was initially a plein-air painting inspired by morning sunlight passing through an ornamental tree. It was developed further in the studio, but the sensation of the intense, low light and delicate bone structure of the tree was the feeling I hoped to convey.

The Forest Inscapes came about accidentally, as I was experimenting with dripping paint on wood panels. I had used dripping extensively in my large Erosion paintings, in which the drips formed veils of color. In a smaller format, the columns of paint looked like trees. Thus were born the Forest Inscapes, which have evolved to reflect the seasons in the forest around my studio. Forest Inscape #28 is an interpretation of the glittering effect of early evening light seen through the screen of forest foliage.

As an irish fiddler myself, I often attend these sessions. I love how music brings people and friends together. I enjoyed getting to know the wonderful musicians and the gentle guide dog that afternoon, and decided to capture the essence of the scene by painting this pastel piece.

Often their own lives were made even more difficult by this choice, but the lives of their children and grandchildren benefited from their sacrifices.
