Acrylic on Wrapped Canvas
She's Odd But Nice
18 x 24
The past three years have been very difficult for me as I helped my daughter and a year later my son-in-law through chemo treatments for cancer. Both are in remission at this time. After this exhausting and emotionally trying time, I found myself a very different person. My painting felt inauthentic and forced as I tried to walk a path that was no longer me. I decided to develop a new path that was in line with the person I am now. I changed my painting methods by utilizing a painting wall rather than working flat. I now feel free to express myself in line and movement. My work became playful and meaningful again. My studio became my refuge again. This is who I am today, and it feels good again.

It has been great fun, and I am finding figures appearing in many of paintings. This was a painting that emerged out of abstract lines haphazardly placed. It was a joyful experience, hence the title "Feeling Happy".

Song to Ukraine was my response to the invasion of Ukraine. The sense of helplessness in world events often overwhelms me, and although I know my painting will not bring peace to Ukraine perhaps it can bring some personal peace to someone who views it. This painting was included in an exhibit in Tulsa, OK dedicated to the Ukrainian refugees who have arrived to live in our city.acrylic 30 x 40 x 2"

acrylic 30 x 30 x 1.5" A native New Yorker who has recently moved full time to Montauk, NY, I find the extraordinary sunsets throughout the years changing seasons inspirational. Whether taking walks in the woods or on the beach, the light never disappoints. Camp Hero was a former Air Force Station in Montauk, now part of Camp Hero State Park. It was during a walk here at sunset that my mind's eye captured and remembered the forceful color explosion that turned into this painting.

acrylic on paper 16 x 16" The Southwest US national parks never fail to inspire me. Having recently spent time in Arches, Canyonlands, and Capital Reef National Parks, I was entranced. Their magnificent sandstone arches, natural bridges and other geologic formations, set against intense blue skies, captivated my imagination. Powerful forces of nature fashioned these breath-taking landscapes over millions and millions of years. I am reminded there that we humans are new to the earth; this perspective gives me pause and centers my spirit, as does the act of painting them.

Monument Stelae Mixed Media Size: 13.8 x 10.6 I use Josonja matte flow gouache paints. I like the matte intensity of the colors. All three works are without planning. The pieces are one of a kind experiments with color, cut and painted papers/ canvas on different surfaces. I used cardboard for The Order, Fabriano watercolor paper for the Monument Stelae, and for the Figure Study I started with the orange painted paper glued to cardboard then the figure ( painted on paper) was glued onto that surface. The pieces are not related excepty by color. I love using this gouache paint! Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Conjuration is the act of calling upon, invoking or summoning a spirit, ghosts, demons, gods or other supernatural beings by means of a magic ritual. The central figure is the powerful Conjuror. In the right hand the figure is holding a feather and in the left has captured one of the 7 sister stars of the Pleiades. The conjuror is surrounded by a golden halo and has a white eagle on the head. According to legends the feather will blow in the wind & carry prayers to the Creator evoking the spirits bringing rain & keeping harmful entities at bay. The white eagle connects to the spiritual side and is a sign of a spiritual teacher. I wanted this painting to be spiritually evocative.

photograph 8 x 10" It is very exciting for snow to fall in the dry desert- so when it does I cannot resist taking photographs of the wonder of it all. This "happening" is so ephemeral that within a few hours it is all melted and gone. The light here is different than my home town in New Jersey. It has a different glow- very spiritual and other worldly especially the shot of the large tree. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

collage on canvas 24 x 18 x 1" When I was working on this series I felt that these faces starring back at me were powerful and fierce and I wondered where was I going with these images. They slowly evolved by the addition of several symbolic images- Crosses, Birds & feathers. Crosses dividing the face - We are all two spirits the good and evil, the yes & no. Birds - I put birds on the eyes- Birds eye view of life! They are soaring through the sky with their eyes wide open! I like the old saying “See the soul through ones eyes” Feathers: In different Native American communities, the feather has many different meanings. It represents wisdom, spirituality, honor, respect, energy and also represents the sky and air.

The World AskewSize: 18 x 18" This work speaks abstractly to the total chaos in the current world. The background field is a blended roll of intense color layered on a plexi plate which is printed first. The smaller circular and geometric shaped plates are created from cut up Yupo painted with hot wax and printed in relief then layered on top of the blended roll image.. The dynamic positioning of the cut plates reflects my stress at the state of our current society. I struggle to create beauty during these chaotic times. The title "A World Askew" encompasses my intention and inspiration for this work.

Ocean Floor Encaustic Painting Size: 12 x 12" I am an encaustic artist which means that I paint with resin and beeswax. I leverage my advanced degrees in Invertebrate Zoology and Marine Ecology to inform my point of view. I paint memories of growing up along the rural coast of New England. 'Ocean Floor' is the essence of many summers spent along the waters edge, turning over rocks and sorting through seaweed. It harkens back to simpler times spent outdoors with nature for entertainment. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

This painting references life in the deep sea. The deep sea exists below 200 meters and is vastly under explored. Organisms in the deep sea help to remove more than one third of the carbon dioxide produced by human activity on earth. Thus, these denizens of the deep may be instrumental in slowing down catastrophic climate change. In considering this painting as a metaphor for gleaning knowledge from underrepresented factions, which other living communities may contain knowledge vital to our survival on earth?encaustic & mixed media 18 x 24 x 2"

encaustic on cradled panel 14 x 11 x 2" Winter presents a dichotomy of emotions and feelings to me. On the one hand, the holidays render it a festive time of year replete with family gatherings and traditions. In Polar Caps, I was referencing glaciers and ice fields in the northern latitudes and how extremely quiet and lonely it must be. This is the true duality of winter.

encaustic on wool, silk, paper, & cotton 5.5 x 9.5 x 1" Dot Bergen is fascinated by processes that reference the passage of time; nature profoundly influences her work. She has always been captivated with mineralization, fossilization, weathering and erosion. There is beauty and power in change, but there is also a sense of vulnerability, the idea that nothing is constant. "Creating a temporal landscape of an ongoing process encourages the viewer to contemplate the past conditions contributing to this portrayal." In Dead Man's Party, Dot explores the fragility of the human relationship with the ever-changing natural world.

Formed and Welded Steel 61 x 36 x 19"I engage our human and environmental predicament at the meeting place between serendipity and intention; where the beauty of the sacred found is enriched by fabrication. My art responds to crises in order to be a force for healing – on both individual and community levels. What we pay attention to, and how that affects what we choose to keep or throw away, be they materials, ideas, people, or specifics of the natural environment, can change the stories we tell and the potentials we allow. Materials picked up in the forest and desert, old things, everyday things – long used, or used and discarded – possess a resonance of memory and time; they are rich with meaning, nostalgia and reference. I make use of these references, enhancing, enlarging, and redefining their meanings through combining the unexpected. This process allows me to see how we might deflect a disheartening and destructive trajectory and generate different possibilities for our story.

Blown Away by a Namesake Painting: Oil, acrylic and found objects on canvas Size: 27 x 23" "Blown Away by a Namesake" explores the duality of the hand grenade, highlighting the surprising etymological connection between the weapon and the fruit. In many languages, the two share a name, a link that stems from their visual resemblance: the pomegranate packed with seeds, the grenade packed with shrapnel. I was drawn to how a fruit, a symbol of abundance, and a weapon, a symbol of destruction, could be so closely tied through language and form. By using contrasting imagery and styles, the paintings move beyond literal resemblance to suggest deeper ideas. They speak to the coexistence of creation and destruction, beauty and violence, abundance and fragmentation, and the stark contrasts that reveal the dualities in language, objects, and the narratives we build around them. The artwork challenges us to find beauty in unexpected places and to recognize the complex interplay between creation and destruction that shapes our existence.

Front and back sides of the canvas are visible simultaneously, revealing hidden elements & layered meanings, both physical and conceptual. Seemingly ordinary objects carry concealed narratives beneath their innocent façade, suggesting deeper, even unsettling layers. A dismembered bottle nipple with a faint human reflection rests in white impasto and in a busy background of suggestive textural movement. A partially formed, unpainted baby bottle precariously balances in front of a baby apparition that seeped onto the backside canvas. Reflections is about reflections and interpretations.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.Travel often inspires my artwork both while traveling and later, in my studio. My sketches (graphite, watercolor) lead to small, realistic canvases. Those, in turn, often lead to more abstract work, over time. This canvas resulted from many images of Shinto and Buddhist shrines in Japan, plus my own attraction to the colors used at the Shinto shrines. It describes my sense of the centrality of religion in Japanese culture plus the excitement and passion of visitors (often with beautifully dressed young children) there.acrylic on canvas 36 x 24 x 2"

acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 x 2" Kane's work always begins with line(s) of many types. Lines build upon lines to create a sense of volume and depth. Sometimes the result is recognizable visually. Sometimes, as in "Mixed Lineage", the visual result may not be immediately recognizable as a thing. Your perception of this image is your own. I hope you enjoy this piece and smile.

Unravellingacrylic with photograph, collage papers, stringAdditional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Size: 20 x 20This piece speaks to the stark differences between women of privilege and women who are oppressed. On one side is a woman looking at her reflection in the mirror. She's proudly, defiantly exposed. On the other side is a woman covered and barely visible, except for her expressive eyes peeking out from her face covering. The strings represent being tied and bound, as in being held back, rights stripped. But the strings are also there to show the bond women have universally, which joins them together in a common thread of femaleness- dreams, hopes, desires, need of community and empathy.

Mixed Media 15 x 15 in. This mixed media piece represents the struggle women have had trying to achieve their basic rights for centuries. The struggles that women of color have endured go back even further. The strings and ropes are representative of being tied and bound, as in being held back, but also of the binding and joining together as all women feel that common thread of sisterhood. The problems that entangle us still exist but by coming together as sisters we can fight for our basic rights and try to unravel the tangled threads.

digital 10 x 10" These images are composed of a collection of bits and pieces that create themselves into a whole. They are pages from a book I am in the process of creating which is a summation of many years of collecting, using fragments both from my own photographs and from the what I can cull from the internet. The title of the book is "Lacrimae Rerum", taken from the Virgil's Aeneid meaning "the tears of things". For me, this phrase means that everything is ephemeral--nothing lasts.

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.
