During and after the pandemic, that didn't seem relevant. I also wanted to throw pottery again as I had at the beginning of my career. I found the process consoling, and I wanted to offer consolation to others. I felt protective of my friends and my family. I began a series of sculptures that combine thrown and modeled forms. They are meant to be protective figures from the realm of myth and imagination. This one, Buddy Buddha, is my own beloved dog, who was such a cheerful and affectionate companion during that terrible time.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.Animated Forms is a recurring theme in my paintings, sculptures and mixed media work. My interest is in exploring the boundaries between representation and abstraction. I reduce the subjects to bold, simplified forms and like to create excitement, tension and often lots of space in the work. Color and texture became increasingly important in development of the collage, and man-made and natural materials like suede, copper and paper were incorporated into the piece. This is an exciting, intuitive and challenging way to work.suede, paper, copper 22 x 26"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.When I created the painting, Alla Turca, I had no inspiration in mind other than the thrill I felt with the color light ultra-marine blue. I wanted to create a painting using the color, and it was the first time I started off with that background color. I put down a shape here and there as I worked progressively, configuring my creation as I immersed myself in the creative process. Each time I finished one phase, I would photograph the image review and self-critique before returning to complete it. When considering a title, I considered a musical piece. Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca seemed appropriate.acrylic on canvas 21 x 25 x 2"

Today, the meaning of this meditation puts on a fresh spin when practiced by non-secular dancers united in humanity and humility, harmonizing with each other and with the Cosmic vastness.bronze, wood 15 x 10 x 8"

What energizes me is how spontaneous the process is, and unpredictable people are. This photograph was taken, several years ago, on a Photography trip to Guatemala. I was struck by the light and shadow on the woman, the stairs, and arch, as she was sweeping the church steps. The scene that was in the background seemed to glow in the sunlight.

These mixed media dreamscapes are constructed on tactile substrates such as my paintings, handcrafted papers, fabrics, monoprints, photographs, antique books and wallpaper. Adding and subtracting the elements randomly, I then glue, sew, paint, and manipulate them into a slowly evolving composition. Layered with patterns and symbols, metaphor and archetypes I unite often- disparate worlds into new relationships—compositions and artworks that reveal the interconnectedness of nature, life, spirit and time.collage with mixed media 21 x 19"

Combining the maps with antique wooden shoe forms and hand dyed silk ribbons, suggests a journey charted, imagined, or remembered. A unique perspective of mapping the world is depicted utilizing the antique materials in sharp contrast to our present day issues and conflicts, affecting untold populations around the world. The carefully charted topographies, geographies, boundaries and coordinates are ultimately transformed and inviting new explorations.

The greens of the surrounding lawn set off the blooms in the rose garden. The colors green and red are complements on the color wheel. Within the choices for the color green I went "Veronese Green." A blast of pure cadmium green with that Venetian/Veronese "twist". The red is many reds but mostly pure cadmium red medium and alizarin crimson--sometimes mixed or overlapping, other times almost pure. The "rose garden" is framed by a cadmium yellow deep border and then outlined in aluminum paint. I am excited about this painting: the big singular shape, the colors and the framing to set it all off.oil, charcoal, graphite, aluminum paint on paper 24 x 24"

The colored textiles represent individuals, families, communities and organizations. The white space is the distance and time between them. As we seem to be experiencing disconnection from the collective whole, this piece is about the energy and perhaps turmoil that is necessary to close the gap that divides us. The vintage textiles and color palette are a nod to the mid-century, when we were more connected to our communities yet fractioned as a society. It is history repeating itself through art.fiber 27 x 29 x 2"

It is part of a series of abstract paintings made in response to on-site drawings of former brick factories in the forest alongside the Hudson River, NY. The way these plants break through the industrial structures and restore the scarred earth is a metaphor of resiliency and the impermanence of things . By releasing the structures we once thought supported us, we can discover new growth and the power of possibility.acrylic paint with collage on cradled wood panel 24 x 18 x .75"

I am drawn back there frequently and it is always a different spectacle. Moonlight Magic depicts my memory of the swamp on the rising of The March Worm Moon.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I am always wondering what it means to make art at a time when it seems we humans are not up to maintaining the health of our beautiful planet and its creatures. How can I just sit around and make pictures? What I do know is that for me, making art is like being a therapist (my profession for almost fifty years), and is like living life. Everything has a way of falling apart and then gathering together, making form out of the unformulated, continually layering and digging beneath the layers. The complexities of abstraction, color, line, and texture are the tools I employ in my passionate reach for exploration of the not yet imagined.pastel, ink, acrylic on paper 17 x 17"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.Grounded in realism, the drawing navigates between reality and interpreted vision. Eliminating all references to color, the monochromatic palette enables exploration into a scene simply and directly and with a sense of abstracted reality. Manipulating dark and light through a myriad of tonal contrasts goes beyond representation to where, layer upon layer, delicate strokes and nuances convey an ethereal, serene image. The work is not necessarily a direct representation of a scene but is a practice of nurturing an appreciation of the incessant resilience of the flourishing and decaying of nature and the complexities of our relationship within those cycles.graphite 30 x 46 x 1"

The curve of pencil line, the profile of a face or ancient sculpture, the palette and form were entirely happenstance. In conversation with a well-known artist and curator years ago, my work was described by them as “sophisticated.” Later, working with that individual became a rude awakening of how sexist, degrading and elitist the art world can be for a female identified artist.

I carefully place the work on the press bed, hoping I don’t get too much ink on my hands. Desperately trying to keep the water-soaked paper clean, I lay it over the plate and crank the handle, pulling the rollers over the assembled work.
