refractured oil with poem
-
My work is about sky. We live in the sky, usually at ground level, and it is the most volatile and vibrant part of our world, our every next breath. Refracturing cuts and reassembling the image into the pieces we focus on before our mind stitches it back together to one scene. My addition of poetry that I write for the skyscape guides the user to the feeling behind the painting. Sunset brought the proof, this was a beautiful day, it ended in gold.

Acrylic gels, acrylics on canvas 8 x 10 in. This painting is from a series I called Kells, which refers back to medieval times and myths. It’s a time of magic with the uneasy feeling of spirits swirling around in the ether. To enhance these feeling, I’ve used many textured gels and rhythmic curved lines.

Photogravure 6.5 x 8.25 in. w/frame 11.25 x 11.25 in. I am intrigued by the way our hands express our authentic selves. I photographed the women in my family, holding small but suggestive objects, this is my sister Liz, holding a root, I dug up from my garden and cleaned. She holds it tenderly, my heart in her hands. The process is photogravure, a painstaking but beautiful process of turning a photograph into an etching. I have this print, an edition of 3, framed and unframed.

Oil on linen board 8 x 10 in. I grew up in Virginia and still feel drawn to the timelessness of farmland and historic places. My foxhunting scenes are taken from my firsthand, real-life observation, and they tell a story about the world of horses and their people. My landscapes celebrate the mood and mystery of wildlife in their natural habitat. I always strive to render these “stories” through my unique color palette and compelling brushwork – two features that I believe set my work apart.

Sculpture 16 x 18 in. I call my recent series of wall relief sculptures “Vagina Masks.” I wrap, tie, and bind recycled materials and everyday objects found in my home (such as wire hangers, plastic trash bags, yarn, paper clips, etc.) to create this body of work. This series explore themes of sexual abuse, body dysmorphia, societal pressure to be perfect and forever young, and changes that occur in our minds and bodies as we age.

Painting Yellow Door 20 x 16 in. Vibrant Colors and Rich textures are a signature of my works. My paintings are always a process. I work intuitively as the image evolves. Varied layers of glazing give lushness and depth, while the addition of mediums helps to create the textures that emerge in the final image. I work pushing and pulling shapes, surfaces, and colors, until I am excited with the uniqueness of each piece. Yellow Door was inspired by the many homes we passed on the waterway while my husband, cocker spaniel and I cruised the great American Loop through the Eastern United States and Canada.

SoldMixed Media Red Skirt 12 x 18 x 1 in. Movement, ecstasy, yearning-all are revealed in the dance! Fascinated, I find the dancer-art leading me to look at my creativity with new eyes. As a photographer, I start each piece with a camera, portraying an impressionist view of the dance. In this piece, I noticed details of her hand and her flaring skirt. I print and embed the image in encaustic wax, then listen to it tell its tale. As I spend time with it, I add encaustic wax to build layers, also using other media. This tactile approach connects me deeply to the work. This body of work has challenged me to grow as an artist and human. I feel myself asked to look into my very soul to rediscover the multiple facets of my own humanity.

35mm digital image 18 x 12 in. w/frame 26 x 20 in. The image titled 489 was produced from a 35mm digital image. Other than saving it a jpg no other actions took place in Photoshop. The image was captured on an early July morning at a local kayak shop. The bright, colorful design shows the reflection of a rack of kayaks on the side of a glossy black box trailer. I could not resist the playful, abstract shapes that changed forms with every step as I approached. The pattern of the black panel rivets creates a repeating rhythm to the design. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Photograph 12 x 12 in. I felt so fortunate to have caught this special moment of two women friends, one cool summer morning as they walked together in the sea. I loved that they were touching, as though one was guiding or encouraging the other to move through the water, perhaps deep in conversation. I feel this scene said so much, especially since they were alone. It speaks to friendship. The joy and encouragement we experience from it and the importance of connection.

Hand-formed porcelain sculpture with an opal 7 x 6.5 x 3.5 in. I hand-form all of my porcelain nature-themed sculptures. I often create abstract or approach realism in my forms. I have always been drawn to flower forms and this is an example. I recently began embedding gemstones to some works to add an element of visual surprise. I chose a fiery opal for this which recalls a tiny water drop on the tip of a petal. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

I have been frustrated more than once by finding that a place I need to go to is closed for repairs. Being a longtime midwesterner, there's a certain look the sky gets in winter when you can feel the snow coming, and a particular beauty to the bareness of the trees.watercolor

Archival watercolor pigments on 300lb Arches paper 6 x 3 in. w/frame 10 x 8 in. I often have little thought of what I am painting until the first few marks appear on the paper. My subconscious plays a huge part in my work. I really had no idea where this image was going as I created it; I just had a sense of loneliness and isolation and finality, which is reflected in the title.

Steel and aluminum sculpture 10 x 8 x 2 in. This small wall sculptures from my Labyrinth series shows the playful side of life, like a child having fun simply by playing.

Platinum/palladium photograph 8 x 10 in. 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. I 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. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic & mixed media on canvas 24 x 18 x .2" What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art. Growing up in multiple cultures influences my work, and my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. I paint mostly in acrylics and gouache, and love to experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. As I work, I am often inspired with new images, so I find myself working on several paintings at the same time, or creating a series. The Dance is part of my "music moves us" series, interpreting music and movement through the use of vivid colors, papier mache and fabric.

Unique Platinum/palladium photograph 5 x 7 in. w/frame 11 x 14 in. In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in everyday life, the commonplace or ordinary scenes in the environment. These images offer us rare moments of solitude, time to slow down and observe the world around us, and to enjoy quiet beauty and serenity. A photograph captures a portion of this beauty and tranquility, offering viewers quiet moments of reflection. Some of my favorite places to photograph are close to home, along city streets and nature trails. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in, providing an opportunity to examine nature and the built environment. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. A strong sense of design is also important in these images. I use the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the images. The platinum/palladium process, a time- honored process, also renders a rich tonal scale and permanence to the images. It is a time-intensive, hand- made process—from coating the paper with varying mixtures of the platinum/palladium solution to exposing the negatives to sunlight and contact printing the image. Each platinum/palladium print is a unique, vintage quality print. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

I often collect "stuff" on my walks and use them in my art. They fulfill my need for texture both visual and tactile in my work. The moss in this case is from my photographs and altered in color. The vines represent what is often torn from trees. I think these are natural wonders and I continue to preserve them.acrylic and collage

acrylic on canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5" What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art.

At first glance it appears to be a landscape, but there is more more to this story that I hope the viewer will see.

Photograph on watercolor fine art paper 11 x 14 in. w/ frame 16 x 20 in. The forest is my sanctuary, a place where I can slow down and appreciate Nature's gifts—serenity, solace, and healing. It's where I reconnect with a sense of childlike awe and collective bonding to its physical, mental, and spiritual riches of light and connectivity. My works capture the dappled light and life up close and personal, creating a symbiotic relationship with the past and present. The subjects of lichen, moss, algae, and insects showcase the symbiotic relationship with trees in textural detail and harmonizing colors found beneath the trees and offer observations of symbiotic life, hope, and light of our collective future.

Works on Paper 20 x 16 x .50 in. My art is inspired by the 19th-century Fontainebleau painters and their up-close sous-bois perspective. I focus on the intricate details of natural textures, colors, and diverse life in the undergrowth of Florida's native trees. My contemporary up-close viewpoint is rooted in exploring light and shadow within monotype prints, plaster sculptures, and paintings. Layers of additive and reductive color are carved with mark-making tools to create textures that vibrate between contemporary, impressionism, and abstractionism, forming an interdependent relationship with the past and present. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Mixed Media Painting 16 x 16 x 1 in. Figures and vessels have similarities and intuitively tend to appear abstractly and subtly in sketches and paintings.

Fiber Arts NUBIGI ,000,097. 9 x 14 in. All of the tiltles of art work include the term "NUBIGi" and a number. Numbers just state the order of art work. NUBIGi means sewing in Korean.

Painting 14 x 11 in. This piece was inspired by a visit to the American College of Building Arts in Charleston, South Carolina..

Morning Stretch 18 x 12 x in. I’m in love with the line. The language of line, delivered with a crashing landing on a page or the gentlest calligraphic curve, or a collection of marks, exudes a power and a sense of storytelling that is beautiful to me. It transcends the verbal communication. Drawing the human figure in line, connects me to my models and the stories that they tell through their poses. It is a collaboration- the model, the artist, the line. Line educates me, supports me, and excites me. It is the vehicle that tells my stories.

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.

oil on panel 12 x 16" 2023 My work has been described as Contemporary Impressionism and is inspired by the beauty I see around me everyday. Sometimes the idea for a painting spontaneously presents itself as in plein air painting.

Sometimes my paintings are inspired by many impressions and feelings of a place. I use technique to express relationships and create a sense of atmosphere, time and space..

My work is representational though interpretive. I want the viewer to move between planes and have begun to layer using several techniques and medium to achieve this. Our eyes are constantly focusing, refocusing and readjusting as we view the world around us and I try to manipulate this effect through my work. I see energy in our surroundings.
