Painting Healthy Skeptic 18 x 18 x 1 in. When I start a new portrait, I work to establish a faithful depiction of my subject first, through careful sketching and underpainting, paying close attention to the underlying bone structure, musculature and proportion. Then, with my choices of color, texture, brushwork, and some intuition, I try to go beyond, to capture a sense of the subject’s inner self as well. A finished painting conveys a likeness, but hopefully also a presence; when you look at it, you might feel it is looking back at you.

Through my paintings, I've become attentive to the splendid drama of my everyday world. I'm intrigued by both the natural and man-made world and our place as humans in it. Through accentuating the inherent qualities of man-made materials like metal, concrete, and asphalt and the way artificial light illuminates and reflects on these materials, I try to transform what could be considered mundane subject matter to the sublime.

oil on panel 18 x 18 x 1.5" Through my paintings, I’ve become attentive to the splendid drama of my everyday world. How the wind can create a ripple in a pond, a flock of birds descending on a field, or how sunlight can illuminate the side of a building are small miracles that happen all around us. In my latest series of oil paintings called Old Souls, I have paid homage to the trees I’m familiar with as I progress through my daily life and work. I thought of these paintings more as portraits of friends than as landscape paintings. I believe nature is intertwined with our lives and has an awareness of our human activity. I find this feeling most prevalent with trees. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

In my work, I have at times carved female figures in place of traditional male figures, sometimes with animal attributes, like horns. Nyami Nyami shows here the face of a woman, with a snake tightly wrapped around her body. She bears the name of an African river god portrayed traditionally as a snake. The construction of the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River in the 1950’s caused the forced resettlement of an entire population under the British rule. Today, this piece is a call for environmental protection. It is meant to bring attention to the many indigenous sites that are threatened by pipelines, mining and human greed throughout the world.

stone 20 x 9 x 9" Bodhisattva embodies two defining aspects of my life. It reflects my earlier interest as a Buddhist scholar and my concern for the environment in our global effort to recycle and reuse unwanted materials. The piece is made out of an old building stone discarded during renovation and other salvaged items from Community Forklift, a non-profit reuse center in the DC area. Vowing to promote spiritual awakening and save all beings, the bodhisattva aspires to enlightenment for the good of others.

gold painted marble heads on wood stand 7 x 18 x 12" Two lines of thought influence my work: The prehistoric Neolithic Period and Buddhist figures. I used leftover stone and reclaimed wood to create both landscapes. Gold paint is the latest addition to my work. One landscape tells the story of Venus of Willendorf, whom I imagine being a female direct carver standing tall among her self-made stone sculptures. In the other piece, I created the burial ground of four parts that make up a whole: the self, the person, the living soul, and the being reunited in their resting place. The four selves are a recurrent theme in my work.

Marble 26 x 13 x 23"I work on the stone directly. Memories feed my inspiration. Those of past and present studies and travels around the world. Direct carving means letting the stone guide you. It is an act of faith that aims to bring balance to my mind and body as I look forward to satisfying my insatiable curiosity. The Universe, I see, reveals itself by expressing itself and knows itself through every bit of experience, and so is my work as a female sculptor, only limited in the process by the material circumstances I encounter: the quality, size, and veins of the marble.

photograph of a transparent collage on a light box 11 x 14" I fold the paper in half, pick up my scissors, and begin to cut. I move my scissors to shape women of various shapes and sizes. I arrange and rearrange and look for backgrounds, and then click-click, I have a photo. Next I work on variations, exploring where the graphic wants to go, revealing hidden layers. Colorful women in abstract shapes and light illustrate women’s inner strength and balance. Every time I pick up my scissors and begin anew I am excited to see who emerges. I have a parade of paper cutouts of women clamoring to be heard. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Squaring the Circle- Structure is dancing with the intuitive, both are needed. The expression "squaring the circle" is sometimes used as a metaphor for trying to do the impossible. A women’s work is never done. Mindfulness is key. If you say that someone squares the circle, you mean that they bring together two things, which are normally thought to be so different that they cannot exist together. Mathematically, it has to do with irrational and rational numbers and mathematicians have been working on it since ancient Greece. A woman’s world today is complicated. The circle and spiral are in many ways more home than the square, but we live in a square world of houses and books and cities.

Acrylic, Gouache, & Colored Pencil on Paper 5.5 x 8.5 in. The Gates is an exploration of life beyond the physical senses, inviting viewers to consider an ethereal realm where the boundaries between the known and the unseen blur. Through swirling colors and intricate textures, the painting presents a vision of transcendence. At the heart of the composition is an angelic figure, bathed in soft light, symbolizing the connection between the physical and spiritual planes. The wrought-iron gates in the foreground serve as both a literal and metaphorical threshold, suggesting a passage from the material world into realms of deeper consciousness. The sky, filled with fiery reds and tranquil blues, evokes a universe brimming with unseen energies. This piece reflects a fascination with metaphysical themes, encouraging viewers to reflect on the possibility of realities that lie beyond what we can immediately perceive..

Photograph 30 x 20 in. w/frame 34 x 24 in. Red Descent: Descenso Rojo is a visual narrative exploring life and identity through my mother’s Puerto Rican culture. This photograph showcases a hibiscus, the national flower, viewed through red glass that forms an eye-like aperture, symbolizing a birth canal. The red vase, a sentimental gift from my mother on Valentine’s Day, adds personal depth to the piece. The vivid hues echo the passion and intensity of the island, while the glass emulates waves of the sea, and flowing blood, capturing the essence of both strength and resilience. The flower’s human-like figure embodies the journey of birth and rebirth, reflecting a profound interplay of chaos and tranquility. The eye-like structure suggests awareness and introspection, inviting a view through a lens of rich heritage and personal growth. This image celebrates the enduring spirit and beauty emerging from transformative experiences. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Collage 15 x 11 in. I love collage. I collect paper, cut it up, and move the bits around until an image comes together. With no idea in mind, it’s just play & discovery, with a surprise reward at the end! “Girlfriends” reflects new techniques I was trying out: painting and printing on wallpaper scraps and deli paper, and, experimenting with “faux” encaustics: transferring an image onto matte Dura-lar Mylar and adhering it image side down, producing a translucent, beeswax effect. Using people as subject matter is also new. A friend had given me a packet of old photos, and immediately, they spoke to me.
