The Sky Above Oil paint, tissue paper, oil pastel Size of Piece: 16 x 20"
I am both a professional musician and artist. I experience life as having order as well as disorder through sound and sight. I create art along with music. The execution of the painting therefore becomes a personal performance, as were my song recitals when I was singing professionally, the one difference being: I am not interpreting someone else's poetry - I am creating my own in color and shape.

Political parties in the United States are fighting against each other and can’t agree on anything. Everyone is in a knot.

Moon in the Water Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 48 x 36
My painting was inspired by a phrase used by Master Dogen (1200-1253), the founder of Zen Buddhism, when teaching about the ineffable experience of enlightenment -- "moon in the water". The moon being a symbol of enlightenment and the water referring to the human mind freed of the obscuration of incessant thinking, thus becoming like an empty, open mirror able to clearly reflect the true nature of reality, allowing the direct experience of one's own true nature.

Gulf Tide Monotype on Printmaking Paper Size of Piece: 18 x 24
My art is a vibrant celebration of nature's dynamic energy, inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of Naples, Florida.

Rebirth Transfer Film Print of Digital Collage on Paper Size of Piece: 8 x 12 x 1
I am inspired by the ability of flowers to bring joy even in the darkest of times.

I began the image by drawing flowers in a garden and adding color with pencil and paint. I modified the value, color, forms and composition of the result to create a digital collage in Photoshop. The final image is a digital transfer of the collage to arches 88 paper using transfer film and transfer solution.

Beach No.5 Silkscreen on Paper Size of Piece: 15 x 22
My work investigates resemblance of particular surroundings in connection with site specific placement. What interests me is the interconnection with the landscape and the viewer themselves, impression of their own identity, and peculiar memories in the specific surrounding.
In this particular print series, I worked with the beach scapes of the unforgettable Cape Cod area, often working on location while preparing first drawings and color sketches. By combining layered imagery, working with a dramatic contrast and values, along with the innovative methods of digital print and halftone, I was able to investigate the ability to recall certain memories, good and bad that often stopped a viewer in their tracks, and let them escape to the unknown while at the ocean side.

Balloon Girl Among the Clouds Digital Collage on Paper Size of Piece: 8 x 8
My creative process is very intuitive. An image presents itself to me with a certain resonance and calls upon other images or fragments of images to join it to form something quite different. It's alchemical--a visual amalgam--images attracting other fragments gestating into a new--perhaps unexpected--whole. It is like bird watching or even like catching butterflies in a net.

I draw a lot. Here, I worked to get the light the way I wanted it.

Dreaming Acrylics on Mylar Size of Piece: 20 x 16 x 1.25
As artists, we spend many hours in our studios. We are familiar with the
concept of isolation. But at the same time, we also fuel our creativity in our
outings away from the studio and by experiencing life and our surroundings
to the fullest.
This artwork was created in the middle of the pandemic...
My heart was pounding hard, ready to explode with the necessity to express
myself. I was ready to tell the world that I was alive and full of energy, love,
plans and so much to do and say... I was bursting with creativity!
And that is how this series called “Catharsis” started…

Girl with Curlers Pencil and Pastel, Pencil on Paper Size of Piece: 10 x 8
“Girl with Curlers” is a portrait of my younger sister. I was inspired when I saw her wearing her curlers in front of a window, the light from which bathed her hair and face in a soft glow.

Secrets Among Blossoms Acrylics and Watercolor on Aqua-board Size of Piece: 36 x 24 x 1.5 Secrets among Blossoms- Life is a canvas splashed with unexpected twists. Those who master the art of embracing uncertainty and forging ahead are the ones who truly survive. Each heart is a wondrous chest, overflowing with secrets. The outward beauty may enchant the eye, yet beneath the surface lie veiled wounds and hidden mysteries. Frozen Blooms- is about the quiet toll of life’s hardships. The woman holds a bouquet of flowers—symbols of beauty and hope—but she doesn’t seem to feel their warmth. Her gaze is distant, her expression unreadable, as if the struggles she’s faced have left her numb. The deep purple tones wrap around her like a lingering sadness, while the bright yellow background reminds us that life’s warmth still exists, even when it feels out of reach. This painting speaks to those moments when we carry beauty in our hands but feel unable to embrace it, when the weight of our past makes it hard to see the light ahead.

Hava Mixed Media on Paper Size of Piece: 24 x 18 x .05 As women, we are not simple. We are complex, exquisite beings that hold more potential than ever recognized. For thousands of years, across regions, for the sake of safety, we hid our true nature to accommodate those with made-up power. Now, we are leaping out of our assigned frames and are claiming our own narrative. Equality is a basic human right, a fundamental pillar in establishing a peaceful and prosperous world. While progress happens, there is still a great deal left to do. Girls and women continue to face significant challenges all around the world. Historically, though, women are described as goddesses, spirits, mythical beings from fairytales and scriptures - we are holy and dangerous. We are everything man desires and everything he fears, his source of life and his terror at the thought of death, of loss. All these contradictions stir many questions and emotions, but we learn to find the balance in life.
