“Eclipse”
36x30
Acrylic on Plexiglass

This piece was inspired by the eclipse. The deep blues represent the dark skies and the gold circles represent the sun. If the piece is hung with some sunlight facing it, bc of the reflective nature of the plexiglass, the painting comes to life even more almost depicting the actually movement of an eclipse see in the attached picture.

“She’s thinking about the future”
9x12x1
Watercolor on canvas with resin.

I was experimenting with watercolor and sculpture and had this woman in my head. I was going to title it “she’s scared about the future” but decided to stay out of politics.

"Tiramisu 3”
48 x 30 x 1.5
Golden Acrylics on Canvas

“Sound in Color”
20 x 20 x 1.5
Mixed media on canvas

“Love Heals” is a reoccurring theme in my paintings and an extension of my belief that art speaks to a truth larger than our suffering, and as an artist our job is to courageously give ourselves to our artistic expression. We cultivate patience, peace, empathy, discipline and our capacity to hold energy as it develops into an offering of truth to ourselves and a caring offering to others to experience.
The presentation of our creativity when practiced come out of hiding into a healing light. We all have a story to tell. When shared, it supports love and respect and inspires harmony and hope. It’s a gesture of gratitude that life is a gift and a way of giving back.

“Jewels of the Orchard“
30x24x1.5
Digital Photography
Oil on canvas

This painting reflects my fascination of nature and appreciation for craftsmanship. The jeweled butterfly, moth, and beetle are a nod to my background as a jeweler and emphasize the value of often-overlooked creatures - just as precious as diamonds. I aimed to evoke warmth and encourage viewers to slow down, reflect, and recognize the delicate balance and fleeting wonders of the natural world.

“Feathered Smoke Series 1.A and 1.B (matching pair)"
(7.5X6.5X1),(3.5X5X1.75)
Ceramic bowl (7.5X6.5X1) clay and glaze fired to cone 6
Ceramic vessel (3.5X5X1.75) clay and glaze fired to cone 6

These two pieces are part of a series designed to give the impression of movement of a static object. Black under glaze was applied with a goose feather on a stoneware base. The imprint strongly resembles smoke stains.

“Plumeria Plate“
10.5X9X1
Ceramic, clay and glaze cone 6

Impression on the plate is a plumeria leaf from a plant that I brought from Florida in 2020 as a 10-inch cutting. In time it grew to be a five foot bush, producing beautiful, and fragrant yellow and white blooms.
I especially liked the pronounced print of the veins the leaf.
The abstract form of the plate is a design I have been working with for years.

“Unfinished Travels“
17.5x 21.5 X 1.5
Fabric on Canvas
Floating Wood Frame

Looking to expand my horizon the latter part of life inspired me to create a piece with rough terrain with a crisscross pattern to represent different directions leading to exploration.

“Sway“
20x16
Canvas

This image was taken at White Dunes National Park in Tularosa Basin, New Mexico. The dunes are absolutely stunning, yet I wanted to go ground level showing each intricate piece of sand that makes this a great national wonder.

“Nature is a Gift“
36"x24"
Acrylic

Like the title says, "Nature is a Gift". Nature provides us multiply combinations of textures, shapes, light, and color combinations. I spend the first part of my day, everyday, sitting outside in my backyard or wherever I am admiring the natural creations sitting right in front of me. These peaceful times allow my imagination to run wild. Nature is a Gift we receive each and every day.

“Be Whole“
48"X24"
Acrylic

Nature is my continuous inspiration. From the wonders under the sea to the pine needles in a Georgia Pine tree. Nature isn't always perfect but it is whole. It speaks the truth. All you need to do is stop, look, and listen. Nature will speak to you.

"New Normal"
30"x30"
mixed medium, acrylic, pastel, colored pencils

I am fascinated by the colors in nature. I observe my surroundings on a daily basis. Everyday brings new discoveries and combinations of shapes, movement, and sounds.

“Texture Lands“
30" x 30" x 1
Oil and acrylic on canvas

This piece was inspired by a winter days palette of blue, grey and mauve. The movement was brought to life through those colors and the texture.

“My Love, You're a doll"
30'x40x2
Acrylic on stretched canvas

This painting beautifully aligns with the mission of Dwell with Dignity, an organization dedicated to creating uplifting and dignified spaces for individuals in need. Just as Ted—a lesser-known doll—finds recognition and warmth through a lovingly hand-knitted sweater, Dwell with Dignity transforms overlooked spaces into environments that foster self-worth, comfort, and belonging.

The act of giving Ted a unique identity through art and personal craftsmanship mirrors the organization’s approach to interior design—turning ordinary, often neglected spaces into places where people feel valued and seen. The handwritten phrase, “My Love—You’re a doll”, further reinforces the idea that every individual, like every space, deserves to be acknowledged, appreciated, and treated with care.

This artwork is more than a nostalgic reflection; it is a testament to the power of thoughtful details and intentional design in shaping not just appearances, but emotional and psychological well-being. Whether through a lovingly crafted sweater or a beautifully designed home, the message remains the same: everyone deserves dignity, recognition, and a place where they feel truly at home.

“Soft Rose Hue"

Acrylic on wood

A Creature of beauty, poised and free,
A symbol of calm tranquility,
In her elegance, We see the glow,
Of nature's art, In flamingo's flow

“Blind Date"
31.5 x 40 x 2
Mixed media on canvas with wood frame

In this piece, I sought to explore the fluidity of abstraction through the lens of Cubism, embracing both structure and spontaneity. By starting with watercolor, I allowed organic movement and subtle tonal shifts to emerge, creating depth within each form. Scanning and enlarging the original composition emphasized the boldness of color while preserving the delicate nuances that only watercolor can bring. The result is a dynamic interplay between precision and unpredictability—an invitation to see beyond the surface and engage with the layered dimensions of color and form.

“Nothing Lasts Forever"
16 x 20
Mixed media

A visual meditation on impermanence and decay. Inspired by a deteriorating structure.
The way the darker colors bleed and spread outward suggests an ongoing process of breakdown, while the golden-orange edges create a rust-like quality that reinforces the theme of deterioration.
The purple background adds an emotional dimension—perhaps it represents the passage of time or a melancholic beauty in decay. The lighter, almost ghostly white forms on the right edge could be echoes or memories of what once was, further emphasizing the theme of transience. The concept of structural decay into an abstract emotional expression is powerful, especially with the haunting purple palette that gives it an almost twilight feeling, capturing a moment between existence and dissolution.

“Fly"
16X40X1.5
Acrylic on Canvas

This artwork symbolizes a butterfly. To me, a butterfly represents freedom. Using simple lines, I have moved away from the conventional depiction of a butterfly to create a new one that embodies a sense of freedom.

“Peaceful Place”
36x24

During a church service, I had a sudden vision to paint a peaceful waterfall near an old barn.

“Currents”

This work was inspired by the ocean, it's waves, currents and undulating sands. I love that it mixes vibrant, energetic color and calmness all at the same time.

“Echoes of Resilience“
60"x30"x2"
Acrylic on wooden panel

This work explores the delicate balance between fragility and strength, inspired by nature’s ability to thrive despite adversity. The floral-like shapes, though abstract, suggest growth, endurance, and the echoes of past experiences etched into the present. The monochromatic palette allows light to sculpt the surface, reinforcing the theme of impermanence—each shift in illumination altering the composition’s essence.
Echoes of Resilience is an invitation to reflect on personal transformation, the beauty of imperfection, and the resilience found in both nature and the human spirit.
In Echoes of Resilience, silver blooms emerge from the canvas, their textured surfaces reflecting light and shadow in a dance of transformation. The interplay of metallic hues and stark white background evokes a sense of time’s passage—of memories preserved, yet continuously shifting in perception. The thick impasto application creates a sculptural quality, inviting the viewer to engage not just visually, but tactilely.

“Blubird Sings”
24" x 36" x 1.5"

My enthrallment of observing birds in nature was the inspiration for this painting. Seeing their beautiful colors, hearing sweet bird songs and liberty to spread their wings and fly is all analogous of a spirited life.

“Amusement Park”
24" x 36" x 1.5"
Acrylic on canvas

This painting was inspired by my own feel-good memories as a young child going to amusement parks. These emotions of joyfulness, fun and excitement experienced at that time in life often go out of our minds as we age or experience hard times throughout life. My idea was to create a cheerful abstraction and thrilling feeling one might experience when viewing this painting.

"Fade Away and Radiate"
48" x 32"
Photography
Archival Pigment Print

I love New York City storefronts. They feel like you shrunk and are walking in a model train land! The history, character, patina and artistry of a front face that has advertised its inner world is such amazing folk art.

This old bakery in SOHO is no different. The G. La Rosa & Son Bread Co. long shuttered in operation, but its character and history live on in its new iteration, paint chippin, graffiti, et al.

Because it is downtown, it needed to be titled after a Blondie song...

"Bay"
48 x 60 x 2
Acrylic on primed canvas

"Bay" captures the quiet power of calm, where depth meets horizon and the unknown feels within reach. In a time when there seem to be more questions than answers, Bay allows the viewer a moment of stillness and quiet contemplation. In each of my collections, I create a "patience" piece which I am intentional with each gestural stroke, color chosen, and layer of texture applied, allowing the work to unfold slowly, embodying the rhythm of deliberate creation. Bay is my current collection's patience piece.

“Awakening Light“
36”x36”
Mixed media on canvas

Awakening Light’ captures the serene beauty of dawn, where soft pastel blues, pinks, and purples blend in a dynamic, light-filled landscape. The movement within the painting mirrors the gentle awakening of nature as the sun rises, symbolizing renewal and the quiet power of the early morning. It’s a celebration of the peaceful yet energetic transition from night to day.

“The Forest Through the Trees”
24 x 48 x 1.5
Original acrylic painting on linen, woven, and mounted on wood. Framed in blue acrylic.

I try not to overthink the reasons I find myself drawn, several times a year, to the resting place of my grandfather, who lived to be 101. Before my father's recent passing, he asked that I take him along with me on my next visit. After we arrived, he asked me to read aloud one of his favorite prayers, one I realized I’d never heard.

It asked for support to change… “weakness into strength, and powerlessness into might, and fear into calm, and doubt into certainty.”

The word fear made me pause. It’s not a word I’ve heard used in my family of origin. It’s beautiful to hear it now. To first acknowledge fear, so we can then open the path towards calm. I wanted to remember these words, and spend time with them.

Fear into Calm.

I welcome the path.

“Walk With Me”
24 x 24 x 1.5
Acrylic on Canvas

Walk With Me is an abstract painting on canvas inspired by the coast. I love to go for walks on the beach. The coastal-inspired palette of blue, green, white, pink, and brown creates a serene and inviting atmosphere. This painting was created with acrylic paints using a palette knife and brushes. It will arrive ready to hang in a gold float.

“Whispers Of Hope”
36” x 48” x 1.5”
Acrylic

I created “Whispers of Hope” to represent those times in life when when we are needing a little extra encouragement or glimpse of hope. Then, all of the sudden at just the right moment, it comes to us - often through friends, through family, or through faith. It is my hope that this angel wing painting evokes a sense of calm and of hope which is felt by each person who views it.

"Forgiveness"
12x16x1.5
Acrylic on canvas

This work explores the complex feeling of forgiveness - specifically the moment when the heaviness of anger begins to break apart and what was once dark and complicated within the mind simply becomes part of the pattern through which the light of forgiveness permeates. It represents the coexisting harmony of seemingly opposing emotions.
