Here, I tell the story of Gobnait, Celtic goddess and Irish Catholic saint. After leaving her dysfunctional family, an angel told her when she saw 9 white deer she’d found the land for her abby. Patron saint of bees and beekeepers, Gobnait is depicted in her crone/grandmother years wearing a beehive crown and honeycomb breastplate. She rises from the waters of her holy well. My grandmother’s quilt surrounds the piece; a nod to my grandmother and to all crones and grandmothers.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.This Viking, who is searching for his next adventure or perhaps a flagon of beer, is inspired by permission to draw this from armstreet.com, a Ukrainian company that makes Medieval and Renaissance clothing. I've changed the figure to represent the story of searching, and perhaps the Viking here has been running along the beach since his leg wraps are in the process of falling down. The figure is drawn in charcoal with white pastel highlights on heavyweight brown paper glued to a barrier-treated wooden panel and waxed with an archival cold wax. Hence, there is no need for glass on this artwork. My charcoal portraits tend to favor theatrical lighting, costumes, and a good story.charcoal 38 x 18 x 1.5"

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I've been doing research on the treatment of Asian American immigrants in Nevada. Often, their bodies are buried in unmarked graves and the land used for commercial purposes. The most egregious example would be the 10-15 Chinese American immigrants buried under mining waste in Tonopah, Nevada. There is universality in every specificity. What happened is Tonopah is representative of many in our country, buried in unmarked graves, discarded once our utilitarian value has ceased. This is one mixed media work as part of a series as a response to the continuing mistreatment of Asian Americans and the accompanying diaspora that follows.image transfer on canvas, gold leaf, acrylic paint 24 x 20 x 1"

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"

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.glazed stoneware 15 x 8 x 8"

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"

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"

Adding and subtracting the elements randomly, I then glue, sew, paint, and manipulate them into a slowly evolving composition.

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.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I am a abstract landscape painter. 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 .

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"

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"
