NEW WORK
The Rising, 2025
Ink on paper
30"w x 34"h x 1.75"d
$1,200.00
The strong, upward trajectory of the central figure in "The Rising" implies what so much of Western culture preaches: hard work and individual effort leads to success. But this figure is no lone wolf. Not only is the form encircled by supporting extensions, which imply connections to the past, but at the core of the drawing is a form that itself appears ready to be born. Is this form life-giving or destructive? The one tiny green seedling in the upper left-hand corner seems to offer some hope. (Framed/Ready to Hang).
Entering The Flow, 2025
Ink on paper
43"w x 30"h x 1.75"d
$3,200.00
For something new in art (and in life) to emerge, something else must be lost. There is no finding a new way without losing track of the old. "Entering The Flow" began with the central figure, and it took a while for me to draw the surrounding pattern. I resisted losing the form that I'd become enamored with over the course of its drawing. By clinging, I'd halted creation. Finally, letting go, I completed the pattern and the piece itself. Now, "Entering The Flow" is leading the way. (Framed/Ready to hang).
Ceding The Self, II, 2025
Acrylic paint, ink, wild berries, collage material
26"w x 40"h x 1.5"d
$2,200.00
A play on the "circle of life," this complex collage, using drawn elements as well as smashed wild berries, is a nod to the way creative ideas can explode into being and then take on a life of their own. Just as in the real world, different forms here play prominent or recessive roles. The circular nature of the collage also hints at the possibility that this is one form caught at different stages of its evolution. (Framed/Ready to hang).
Preparing For The Fall, 2025
Acrylic paint, ink, wood panel
24 x 24 x 1.75"
$1,200.00
Most drawings employ straight lines, but I've developed an intriguing style, building nearly all my drawings on curves. This imbues the work with an organic, feminine quality. "Preparing For The Fall," is a zaftig goddess figure that appears to hold the roiling universe at her center as well as a connection to the natural world through her leaf-like base. But the unusual headgear--is it a deep-sea swimming cap or a football helmet?--hints at a knowing feminine archetype, the Sage, who is aware and at least somewhat prepared for whatever is to come.
After The Fall, 2025
Acrylic paint, ink, wood panel
24 x 24 x 1.75"
$1,200.00
The biblical Fall describes the moment when Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden for learning too much about their own state of being. In my creative work, it has often occurred to me that artists are constantly having to go through another Fall, this one of their own making. Art is about pulling the curtain even further from our eyes, seeing deeply into what it means to be human, and the knowledge gained can sometimes knock one back on her heels.
Tending The Liminal Space, 2025
30"w x 34"h x 1.75"d
Acrylic paint and ink on paper
$1,800.00
While much is made of the identity enhancing fame some artists pursue, the creative act is largely about relinquishing the ego in order to discover something truer, deeper, usually called the "Self." There is an open space to cross between ego and self, and, as a farmer watches over his growing fields, an artist must carefully tend whatever arises in this new land as an artwork (and the artist) takes shape. (Framed/Ready to Hang).
Hiding in Plain Sight, 2025
30"w x 34"h x 1.75"d
Acrylic paint and ink on paper
$1,800.00
Making art is not unlike being an FBI agent: an artist often starts with a few scant clues--a shape, perhaps, or a color that resonates--and then goes in search of what the artwork will eventually become. The process of discovery, which is frequently about discovering oneself, is not always a pleasant search and we don't always find what we thought we were looking for. But look we must. (Framed/Ready to Hang).
Cross Over, 2025
30"w x 34"h x 1.75"d
Water color and ink pen on paper
$1,800.00
In my work, I typically use ink pens, but here I've also employed water color pens, which give the drawing a grainy, tactile quality. The switch seems perfectly timed as the drawing itself has moved into a new space where the purely bio-morphic form has taken on a stronger botanical character. (Framed/Ready to Hang).
An Unsovereign Life, XIII, 2025
ink on paper
30"w x 34"h x 1.75"d
$1,200.00
"An Unsovereign Life, XIII" extends my most prolific series, which delves into the fluid nature of identity and connection. Utilizing intricate ink patterns on paper, the artwork intertwines forms that stir unity and fragmentation, prompting reflection on how we navigate internal and external transformations. The piece invites viewers to explore the subtle nuances of self and other, emphasizing the perpetual evolution within our own narratives. (Framed/Ready to hang).
Into the Void, 2025
Ink and collage on paper
20"w x 15"h
$900.00
Unframed
Every new work of art is an exercise in trust with the artist walking into a creative void. If the exercise pays off, the viewer has a guided tour of something amazing.
Fertile Ground, 2025
Ink and collage on paper
15"w x 20"h
$900.00
Unframed
The form in this ink drawing is both reaching for the sky and firmly planted on the ground. Making art can be a heady practice with lofty goals, but very little gets accomplished unless the artist has a firm grasp of her materials and an ability to stay grounded in her work no matter where it takes her.
