My art depicts a broad and embracing perspective of human closeness to allow viewers' imaginations to respond in as open a way as possible. My parents suffered extreme early traumas that left them fearful of others. Their influence was a huge obstacle for me to overcome. As a result, I am sensitive to the damage to people, communities, and nations when fear prevents us from finding trust through recognition of our similarities and negotiation of our differences.

The painting, Always Follow the Light, is an image to remind the viewer to never give up. There is a choice to seek the possibility that comes in every phase of life. It is within each soul to seek that special light. This painting is dedicated to my mother, who while battling cancer, spoke her last words " Well, I have had a wonderful life". She always followed the light.

It is not my purpose to document an event as a photojournalist would be doing, but to create a work of art that stirs an emotion. I photographed these penguins on the Falkland Islands off South America and waited until the penguins started interacting with one another before I attempting to photograph them. By waiting until the right moment, the viewer can now feel the same excitement as I experienced, when I saw these two penguins greeting each other… ready to kiss!

We were sitting outside on the coast of Pico Island, in the Azores, listening to the waves break over volcanic rock. Not the nicest weather for a vacation with friends, but the Sangria we shared muted the chilly, damp weather. I love the contrast of the dark red and the orange against the stormy sky and sea. This piece takes into consideration, unpleasant weather, along with the concept of making the best of it.

This is a painting that resulted from my trip one early morning last Fall. I couldn't see well enough to determine if a deer was really off in the distance that morning, but something in the field looked like the form of a deer. I really enjoy capturing the natural beauty of the Midwest landscape to share with viewers--especially when the morning light creates such vibrant color for a painter to enjoy.

We care for it, caress it, allure it, so it stays with us, loves us, and lives in us. Although it is the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious, it's responsible for reality testing, and we need it for a sense of personal identity. Overindulgence in loving yourself may bring Ego to a dangerous state that might hurt us. The Ego separates us from ourselves and becomes an unhealthy sense of superiority and importance. It brings arrogance and self-centered ambition. It becomes our enemy. So, what does one do? Live with the enemy? Tame it? Or maybe killing it is the answer?

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.

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"

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"

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"

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.

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"
