Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I create sculptural forms from natural materials, drawing inspiration from nature yet veering towards abstraction. The essence of my work often embodies a biomorphic aesthetic. Calling II, was created from a marble that seems embedded with fossilized bits that inspired a primitive bird like form. It is also the same stone that I used to create Calling, an earlier sulpture.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.My palette of found objects and foundry molds requires being tactile, playful, and using chance and intentional placement to create anthropomorphic totems. As I create my work, I let the shapes and objects guide me. The composition comes first but with constant editing, a theme emerges. I find meaning in these found objects and detritus from the past. By reimagining their purpose and giving them personalities, I look to recast their history and for the viewer to find kinship in these haunting shapeshifters. Freed from their destiny as trash, these curious objects assume new identities and evocation of something soulful.painted foundry molds & found materials 28.5 x 17.5 x 6"

In this series, the quieter moments of the ritual of preparation and repose are included alongside more vigorous action, all in the bucolic setting of the Hudson River. The photoscreenprints are hand-colored in the process of making them, wherein the screen itself is colored and the color is then transferred in the printing. The photo processing and tinted inks create the illusion of a newsprint photo from years past, creating a sense of nostalgia and reflection of a time gone by.photo screenprint 24 x 18 x .5"

General Sherman burned it down in the Revolutionary War in 1865. This image was created by using a fully converted digital infrared camera with a filter of 590 nm giving some red and blue color along with the infrared wavelengths of light displayed. I chose to gild this with 24kt gold leaf to create the blue/green of the sky and to accentuate the antiquity and beauty of this ruin not typically seen in the United States.colored infrared print on vellum gilded with 24kt gold leaf 15 x 13 x 1"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.After the passing of my late husband I traveled to Egypt, land where the afterlife is revered. In examining my photographs of that part of the world, I wanted to honor culture and consciousness. This digital collage came about by combining images of symbolic significance to me with text gleaned from an ancient language. The Latin phrase translates from MEMENTO VIVERE to REMEMBER TO LIVE. The imagery background is the sand of The Sahara Desert, near the Pyramids in Giza. Temporary footprints in the sands are analogous to the finite and fleeting qualities of life. The foreground pyramid image represents a trinity with ocean water contained within its frame.digital 14 x 17"

Using the frottage technique, I am imagining these spaces as absorbing part of the energy of those who might sit in that chair, in a sense carrying a 'memory' of that person.

A collagraph is a print that is made from a collage of various materials that are glued together on cardboard, metal, or a hardboard plate. Texture can also be created by gouging or cutting into the board. It is then inked as either an intaglio or relief then run through the printing press with dampened paper on top. I enjoy this technique as it gives me the freedom to experiment with different materials and textures. I also work with decorative papers as an added element. It is also a departure from my more realistic linocuts, allowing me to explore abstract compositions.printmaking 23 x 14 x 2"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.This piece is inspired by my mother’s loss of independence towards the end of her life. We exchanged letters and I used them as text over my image to cope with her circumstances and projection towards my own. I did some research into my background and based some of my texts on these family secrets; both mine and others. I explore the changing relationships of parenthood, family, identity, love and loss, and am always concerned with the downward social spiral I see around me. I find I use artmaking as a means of negotiating a way through some of the irreconcilable behaviors I encounter in myself and in the world around me.photopolymer lithograph with chine collé 25 x 33"

Made of over 36 4”x4” squares, some with strong visual bonds and some with no visual bonds, the meaning and strength of the individual pieces comes from their relationships to each other. We can each be unique individuals with depth and complexity, but when we form a common bond or have a common need, our uniqueness forms a collective. A perfect metaphor for humanity.mixed media including stitchery, painting & drawing 24 x 24"

This particular scene was photographed from a moving car on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Drying clothing outdoors is a universal occupation whether it is hanging from a balcony in Egypt to a clothesline on a Caribbean beach to a line hanging outside a home in Japan. This has lead to a series of paintings primarily using the wax and dye resist method known as batik.batik on silk 18 x 24"

I’m constantly piecing things together, whether in the studio, in nature, or in an urban environment; picking things up and rearranging them. I’m fascinated with the juxtaposition of contrasting materials, colors and textures. In this work, the warm, rough texture of the salvaged wood plays off the cool surface of the plaster, creating a dialogue between these disparate elements.fresco (plaster); salvaged wood 22.5 x 24 x 2"

From spring to fall it presents us a galore of nuanced hues and values. And it takes its place right in the center of the rainbow. Blue, on the other hand, is the foundation of the world. It’s everywhere. It’s our air, our seas, it’s the one that embraces us, another words it’s like a mother. Here my entire interpretation is about a mother’s love. In such, while almost contradicting my own theory, the blues are in the flowers, whereas the green is placed at the mom’s skirt. Challenging myself and wondering what the reaction of the viewer will be. This always enriches me!acrylic / mixed media 30 x 24"

It has evolved from a formal piece into a more interesting, deeper, and more informed version of itself. Layers emerged, delivering hidden gems. It has become one of my favorite pieces because it just keeps giving. Dark tones are filled with a surprising myriad of color that prove that there is no real black, but rather a spectrum of deepness within color asking for light to draw out character within them.

Cut-outs of colored gampi paper were added with the chine collé process to lend excitement and depth. The image was inspired by photographs from NASA’s amazing James Webb Telescope. I am intrigued by questions of the origins of life. Did it arrive from space on a meteor?

I've changed the figure to represent the story of searching, and perhaps the Viking here has been running along the beach since his leg wraps are in the process of falling down. The figure is drawn in charcoal with white pastel highlights on heavyweight brown paper glued to a barrier-treated wooden panel and waxed with an archival cold wax. Hence, there is no need for glass on this artwork. My charcoal portraits tend to favor theatrical lighting, costumes, and a good story.charcoal 38 x 18 x 1.5"

Often, their bodies are buried in unmarked graves and the land used for commercial purposes. The most egregious example would be the 10-15 Chinese American immigrants buried under mining waste in Tonopah, Nevada. There is universality in every specificity. What happened is Tonopah is representative of many in our country, buried in unmarked graves, discarded once our utilitarian value has ceased. This is one mixed media work as part of a series as a response to the continuing mistreatment of Asian Americans and the accompanying diaspora that follows.image transfer on canvas, gold leaf, acrylic paint 24 x 20 x 1"

My sketches (graphite, watercolor) lead to small, realistic canvases. Those, in turn, often lead to more abstract work, over time.
