watercolor 24 x 28" Painting , for me, is an opportunity to retreat into my imagination and paint not just the subject, but my feelings about my "story. I call this imaginative process “painting with my mind’s eye”; as I work to cultivate artwork that tells the narrative of who I have painted. I dribble, splatter and toil with water-media to create an image that shares the spirit of my subject and her experiences. In recent years, I have been working with ideas inspired by the life of women’s experiences from past eras. In my “ghost story” series, my protagonist is experiencing the past, in terms of her memories, the present in the form of reading and writing her thoughts and the hopes for her future.

Creating her inspired story Acrylics, watercolor and sumi ink on 140lb paper Size of Piece: 13 x 17 Framed Size: 20 x 24 "Creating her inspired story" is the first painting in a series about enjoying the joys of painting on location and experimenting with new ideas. Last year, I had the pleasure of introducing one of my students to both the beauty of Spokane's "Duncan gardens" at Manito park and the creative fun to be had, when setting up one's art supplies in order to create a visual story about a day well spent.

watercolors and fluid acrylics 24 x 28 x 1" This “Ghost story…” epitomizes the perpetuity of time’. A woman's experiences flow like water. Our adventures can be charted seen ebbing from the past and streaming towards the future. Tenaciously, we live and as we tally up experiences, adapting our stories to make our lives work, our memories resiliently swing from the past to become optical illusions for the present.

Lovers Afloat Alabaster Size of Piece: 15 x 21 x 11 This work is the tangible result of expressing the otherworldly experience of being in love. The man and woman embrace, floating above a sea swept boat, emphasizing their fantastical experience. The sculpture is pulled out of a boulder of alabaster, hand carved, using only a mallet and a variety of chisels. The piece was born of pure exploration, finding the forms through the chisel's tip.

Wish (The Escape) Alabaster Size of Piece: 30 x 15 x 6 This life size torso is a self portrait, created during a tumultuous time in my life. The cloth on the side rises up and the weave turns into forms that become birds, taking flight across the neck. The birds represent my yearning for freedom from a frightening, stifling relationship. I had to hide this stone as I was working on it, to prevent losing it. The day came when I was free, like the birds made from my own hands. This piece gives me a feeling of hope and joy because of the time shared together. It is uncanny how Wish holds natural light, glowing wherever it's placed. I now show it illuminated, to bring forth the true feeling of the piece. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Painting Ambiguous Unseen 12 x 12 x 1.5 in. My recent paintings address buoyancy, levity, themes of duality and continuity, energy, fragility, microcosm versus macrocosm, and more. Indicative, expressive and meaningful qualities develop through the instinctive arrangement of colors and geometric elements. I am inspired by ideas from Suprematism, Constructivism, Dada, Synthetic Cubism, Conceptualism, Emblematic Surrealism, and American quilts. All thematic and visual exploration I do includes significant attention to color. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

A new voice spoke to me over 25 years ago with my move from New York to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It spoke a language I had never known, but spoke a secret language to my heart. The contemplation of the expressive figure gave way to the perception and experience of life in a glorious landscape. It said this is home. Here we bear witness to the natural cycle of renewal and rest. Landscapes and waterscapes, houses and abodes provide places where we can rest and dream.ink on paper 21.5 x 19"

The ‘Endangered body of work’ was begun fourteen years ago as it became evident that Mother Earth, the wildlife, and humanity are endangered from climate change, deforestation, overfishing, insecticides, pollution, poaching, and the effects of war. Mother Earth and Mother Nature are also often used metaphorically for women since many women find themselves in situations of endangerment globally. Tree of Knowledge I was painted with a burning tree because I feel deeply about all the women worldwide who are denied educations.

acrylic, archival repurposed artist's rags, 23.5k gold leaf 10 x 10 x 3" At eight, when studying oil painting, I knew I would speak through my art. I have always been passionate about the beautiful palette of human diversity and nature, but also empathetic to the struggles of humanity and the vulnerability of all life forms. My decades long art career has been dedicated to making art about these passions. I observe and research for each painting. Something as small as a fruit fly, a beautiful human head, or a magnificent winter landscape seen from the train as I travel between my studios in Pittsburgh and NYC can inspire a large, multifaceted painting that combines human diversity, Mother Nature, and often the global struggles of women.

Oil 14 x 11" I am friends with the delightful model Gazelle with whom I have worked for several years. While she is primarily a ‘nude life model’, she is a warm and creative person. When she sat down fully clothed in the crazy chair I have in my studio, she looked wonderful and the light was good, and the materials were new for me – cradled pine panel versus canvas, and a very limited palette – and viola, this little oil portrait was born. Both she and I were very pleased with the results.

photography digitally manipulated 12 x 15 x .8" "Ephemeral Waltz" is a photograph that captures the essence of fleeting beauty found in nature's blossoms. Using digital manipulation, I transformed an array of small azaleas into a single, ethereal flower with gracefully outstretched petals. The dreamy white color of the flower contrasts against the serene pale blue background, creating an evocative and harmonious composition. This artwork offers viewers a chance to immerse themselves in the enchanting dance of delicate petals and appreciate the transient, magical moments that nature provides.

wax pastel on paper 24 x 18 x 1.5" An exploration of seeing things from different perspectives. We're familiar with the expression "realize my dreams", but what if instead we danced with our dreams? And moonrise almost becomes a landscape within a landscape. Finally, self portrait is usually of one's face, but what if it was more commonly the back of the head?

I was 8 years old when I was sexually assaulted by a stranger in a movie theater. There was no one to talk to about this. I kept it to myself. My childhood self was so strong, and imagination and creativity were her saving graces. Artwork became a way to both contain and express emotions that might otherwise have overwhelmed me, and it transformed pain into beauty.wax pastel on paper

Painting Succulents at Groundswell 12 x 12 x 1 in. "Succulents at Groundswell" was created en plein air at Groundswell Bakery & Cafe in Tiverton, Rhode Island. I am inspired by the café’s curated gardens and displays. I worked on site for a couple of mornings, studying the plants’ repetitive shapes and colors while enjoying the buzz of bees and people talking around me. I like to draw more than paint, so I make paintings by drawing, using acrylic paint markers. Some of the shadows are heightened using an ink wash.

photography printed on aluminum 16 x 20 x 1" My passion for photography stems from capturing a beautiful moment in time while holding the feeling that moment evokes.

For me, photography is more than taking beautiful images - it’s about capturing the emotion and essence of a single moment and sharing that with the world. The photographs that I share are of locations that have brought me joy, peace, and comfort.
