The piece shown here is the first of twenty-one paintings in my Emissary Series.

Nebulous
$450

This painting is a study in neutrals and has a bit of newspaper collage in the center - can you see the hand? I find this to be one of my strongest pieces - the shapes are bold, the colors rich and suggestive. This is one of my threshold pieces - one where I felt that I made an artistic breakthrough.
Measures 30" x 22"

Sacred Space II
Collection The Artist
$450

One of the first paintings where I incorporated black. The colors in this were difficult to capture, it is actually softer shades of cream and pink with rich darks.

Tapestry
$300

What an enjoyable experience to create this woven collage. Using bright colors along with rich neutral areas, the weaving really shines. It is meant to be floated on a background mat when framed. I have it on a neutral gray mat with a burnished frame.
Measures 22" wide x 30" tall, not counting collage pieces that extend beyond the surface.

The Stage is Set
$350

I love the line work in this painting. The feeling I get is of being in an ornate theatre, waiting for the performance to start.
Measures approximately 34" x 22"

It's Party Time
$350

This piece has all my favorite bright, warm colors. My idea was to celebrate the joy of summer.
Measures approximately 34" x 22".

After Effects
NFS

I created this cut and woven piece shortly after 9/11. A fractured surface with missing sections ... the bright colors suggest hope, a new beginning
Measures approximately 15" wide x 22" tall.

Deep Space 5
$350

A very different piece for me, it's one of my husband's favorites. With all the angles, illusions of compartments and numbers, I am reminded of a lunar capsule floating in space.
22" wide x 30" tall.

Warrior Princess
$250

A strong, wise, hopeful Warrior.
20" wide x 30" tall.

Doorway I
$350

Exploration of the figure led me through the creative expression of the recognized physical form to depicting the figure as a vessel or container to examining the idea of figure as a doorway.

... exposing?
... revealing?
... moving into the unknown?

Each piece measures 22" x 30"

Doorway II
$350

Vessel I
$350

Vessel II
$250

These two paintings preceded the Doorway pieces above as part of my figurative series.

Vessel I is painted with layers of transparent fluid acrylics and has rice paper collage on the lower section. It measures 22" x 30"

Vessel II is on illustration board, measures 20" x 30", and also has collage papers embedded in the layers of paint.

Blue Storm
$250

This piece reminds me of sailing. Lots of line work and drawing into the wet paint.
Measures 30" x 22"

Tribal
(includes frame)
SOLD

For this piece I cut and tore the paper into the shield shape, then added wire and beads. Piece comes framed as shown (the background mat is actually a metallic gold).
Measures approximately 30" x 18" including frame.

Puzzled
$350

Click on the image to enlarge so you can see the texture and colored pencil work. This was great fun to create. The colored pencils make a wonderful added texture to the paint.
Measures 30" x 22"

Phil's Place
SOLD
Private Collection

Inspiration can come from the most unlikely places. After a day-long photo shoot at what I can only describe as a pack-rat's heaven, I have enough material for years of painting! The reference for this particular piece, called Phil's Place, was the rear end of a semi-trailer.

This painting was done on Aquarius watercolor paper using transparent fluid acrylics. Many layers were applied to achieve the look you see here. Opaque white gesso was tinted to achieve the turquoise areas.

Acrylic gel was spread onto illustration board and printed into with various tools. I first painted with fluid acrylics, then added layers of opaque color and colored pencil. A final wash of opalescent gold settled into the textured areas. This piece was an experimentation using texture to create areas of great interest. The size is 15" x 20"

The four pieces above are texture studies done on illustration board. Each piece has a rich physical textural surface made by printing and drawing into wet acrylic gel medium.
They are luscious!
