  • Fused Glass using different glass compounds 12 x 10 in. w/ frame 12 x 10.5 in. This body of glass artwork depicts my personal journey of exploration of kiln-forming glass techniques over the years and bringing to life other facets of my art into glass with my live model sketches. Over the years I have been studying different glass techniques, and at the same time sketching live models. My goal was to have the live models as glass art pieces. Learning enamel drawing and experimenting with powders to form different tones has enabled me to do just that. The pieces are layered glass with backgrounds using various glass powders and stenciling. This combination reflects drawing skills with kiln-forming glass.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Layered Fused Glass
    5 x 5 x 1" I am drawn to glass as a medium because glass has a wonderful physical property, transparent or opaque, allowing you to see the illusion of space and depth. This causes a magical flow, embodying fun, playfulness, and spiritual energy. This can be healing, by holding you in the present moment to enjoy that magic, be enthralled, look within, and be charmed so you forget the world’s challenges.

  • photograph 18 x 24 x 2" I'm an artist-photographer interested in people in places. Some interact and some are alone in a crowd. The Metropolitan Rooftop is a beautiful environment to watch people in a setting that is unfamiliar but provides a space to be who they are.

  • oil 20 x 20 x 2" From the Invisible Women Collection: Voyeur is small to replicate the sensation of peering into a closed space. Apprehensive, yet drawn to that upstairs window, we are unable to resist the temptation of looking inside, but feel guilty for invading someone’s privacy. The figure may have gone unnoticed. Returning outside, one might see that the odd sizing of the brick exterior is both curious and uncomfortable, dreamlike in the way it feels warped from sitting in the sun. This peculiar patterning draws us down to a solitary figure looking out a darkened window below, penned in, trapped, invisible.

  • photo 14 x 11" My source of inspiration is nature and frozen objects come from natural surroundings. The frozen droplets on iced branches create something of beauty and surreal wonder of nature. They appear as jewels suspended from golden lines and the evening background illuminates them. Taking a moment to gaze at the photo is a healing experience and transcends you closer to the universal one.

  • Weaved fuze glass on wooden board 14 x 14 x 3"  
  • fused glass 14 x 14" Glass is a very technical medium and my journey has been to learn different glass kiln-forming techniques to intertwine them together. My intention with new glass artwork is to start using glass sheets, crushed glass, glass stringers, glass powders and enamels to create images that go beyond the definition of fused glass (kiln-forming glass). Combining my artistic ability of drawing/painting to the glass elements allows the glass to appear as if I am painting with glass and giving it a magical flow.

  • Hand-cut rice paper, historical element, NY Times 15 x 15"
    Nabeshima Nagako (1855-1941) was an elegant lady of Japanese high society from the Meiji period to the early Showa era. In April 1881 Nagako married Nabeshima Naohiro, eleventh and final daimyo of the Saga Domain in Rome, Italy, where he was performing official duties. Nagako served as secretary and chair of the Volunteer Nurses Association of the Japanese Red Cross Society from 1887 to 1936 as well as president of the Oriental Women's Association. The Full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn was my inspiration for this mystical piece. The beauty of the blue cosmos in the night sky abounds over the golden butterflies and dragonflies in my garden this summer. Often, butterflies will appear in our dreams. Seeing butterflies is an invitation to see our transformative possibilities. The Ionic Roman Columns are ancient honeyed relics from past loves -- memories we hold dear.

    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.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

    Sharks have been on this planet for over 400 million years and have survived multiple mass extinctions, Yet, they never evolved a swim bladder and so must swim constantly. I wanted to paint a shark out of its element. Baking in the desert under the beam of a spotlight.

  • oil, metal leaf, and waxed thread on canvas 19.25 x 15.25 x 1.25" "Avocado Selfie" is not a self-portrait in the traditional sense, but it is an exploration of my current visual interests set against the backdrop of my own facial features. In the piece, I explore the tension between the representational and the abstract; the flat expanses against modeled forms. I am inspired by medieval European aesthetics and my background in theater, which influenced my color and material choices and the decision to stitch thread throughout the piece.

  • oil on canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5" This painting, like many other of my paintings conveys a visceral experience of a place, rather than describing its likeness. The painting itself evolves from a synthesis of memory, imagination and the process of painting itself. Natural elements are expanded or reduced as I layer on glazes of color. The layered veils of color reflect a fragile luminous quality.

  • acrylic & oil paint on canvas 48 x 48 x 1.5"
    Fire and Ice is a plea for us to recognize our profound interconnection with all life on earth, the impact of humanity's disconnection from the natural world and from each other. It offers solace and a recognition of the inherent beauty of our natural world even as It highlights the need to address this existential challenge. My intention is for Fire and Ice to be part of the great web of healing. I invite you to engage with the painting, lose yourself in its details, meditate on its meanings, and to carry those messages into your daily lives.

  • oil on canvas 30 x 30 x 1.5" Inspired by my daily walks in the nearby woods with my dog, I sought to capture my experience of the natural world through a colorful and dynamic composition. What sets Giverny Reflections apart is the overall patterning of colored marks, created through vigorous brush strokes.Someone told me that the intermingling blues, reds, greens, and yellows reminded her of Giverny. The sense of movement and depth, around the portion that suggests reflection and possibly water surrounded by foliage-like forms on either side, reminded her of standing in the garden there. So despite the fact that the inspiration came from my local walks I adopted the reference to that beautiful garden in France.

    Taken is the story of those whose lives have been turned to chaos in minutes. Those who were taken hostage, kidnapped or sold into slavery…. abused and the innocence of their youth is destroyed at the hands of their captors. They feel isolated and forgotten and... even if they want to cry out loud...they are too terrified to make a sound. I hear your cries in my mind... and I want the rest of the world to see it.

  • acrylic 24 x 24 x 1.5" "I Wanna Scream" for those who cannot. For the women whose right to speak up for themselves is constantly suppressed. For the journalists who cannot speak about a government's corruptions and/or atrocities without threat of imprisonment or physical retaliation against those they love. For the physically and emotionally abused who cannot cry for help for fear of what might happen to them. For the doctors who are threatened by their own government if they administer the care that their female patients so desperately seek. Art has always been an echo of the artist's world and of his time. And our present world has too many voices being muted. Too much silence when we need to scream!

I used strong colors, female figues and elements of nature to denote women's strengths. Primal Parts II is texturized and accented with acrylic paint and markers as well as various mediums to create texture on the piece. The piece evolved into a diptych due to a printing error which created a reverse image.. The diptych further strengthens the piece.

  • Linocut 12 x 12 in. Every year for the past 30 years my family travels to St. John VI . It is a place we have enjoyed year after year.
