Insistence on Individuality
$550.00
"Insistence on Individuality," shows my fascination with vibrant energy and dynamic forms. My goal was to incorporate an interplay of shapes and colors to create a sense of depth and movement, drawing you into a dance of light and shadow. Perhaps this is due to my classical ballet training and background.
The composition balances fluidity with structure, evoking an exploration of identity amid unity. My goal is that the painting invites contemplation, offering both visual delight and a reflection on individuality within uniformity.

I have been reading the classic novel “Rebecca” by Daphne du Maurier. In it, the author describes the English landscape in great visual detail. I think this painting was somewhat influenced by her words.

Invitation to the Dance
$3,800.00
AVAILABLE AT THE ZEBRA GALLERY
This painting (36"x48," acrylic on canvas) was shear joy to work on. There are many layers of paint incorporated in this piece, which provided endless pleasure to manipulate and also creates visual interest from a distance and when you move closer to view the painting.
After studying ballet for close to 40 years, I often see trees as dancing figures which explains the title of this piece. While going on walks, I often marvel at the trees swaying in the breeze, and the dancing rhythms of the branches. This sentiment goes back decades to when I used to sit on the rocks, with a sketchbook or journal in hand, under the trees at the end of the street of my childhood home.

This is another example of art that came about when I decided it was time to paint over an older painting. I LOVE doing that. Visitors to my studio are always shocked because they have often liked the older painting. Most of the time I still like the older painting as well, but it is time for me to let it go. This is because my work has led me in another direction. There is a freedom in making a decision, and just going for it, painting with abandon over a previous piece.

This is a long description:
About a month ago, a cute four year old skipped into my studio followed by her grandmother. There was something in the little girl's impish grin that moved me, and I struck up a conversation by complimenting her on her pink eyeglasses. She then shared with me what interested her at that moment, which was her new dress. Immediately, I mentioned that I liked the horses on her dress, and she responded (in no uncertain terms) that the dress was instead covered in unicorns, I knew that a bond was formed.
She expressed great interest in how I made my paintings, and I enjoy nothing more than talking about making art. So, I talked with her about how I work, the paint that I use, and the colors I like, while finding out about what interested her as well.
As time progressed, she noticed my Posca acrylic pens, and she asked me about them. She had a tough time containing her excitement as I pulled out each colorful pen that she pointed to, and scribbled on a painting panel that was at her eye-level to view.
Once she and her grandmother left the studio, I took a look at the panel and smiled. It was at that point that I saw that my free flowing, fun PLAY with a four year old visitor was the perfect start for the painting above.
Just goes to show you. You never know when inspiration will strike. Sometimes it may come bounding into the room wearing pink glasses and a unicorn dress.

This acrylic painting feels fun and lively to me. I painted it in an effort to make peace with the color pink, which is a color that I rarely use.

Incandescently Aware
$1,900.00
Inspired by a visit to the Spirited Garden on Jeju Island, this piece encapsulates nature's splendor and resilience, but also the distinctly human response to something that reaches our souls. I was often moved to tears as I walked along the paths of this incredible garden, knowing that I would have to make a series of paintings that evoked the experience of being in this magical place. By incorporating collage elements, I wanted to symbolize both the time it took for the garden to flourish and the layers of personal history that shape our emotional experiences.
Inspired by the garden’s creator and his unwavering vision, I aimed to capture the essence of his dedication and the profound impact of nature’s serenity and vigor.
This abstract acrylic and collage painting, composed of two vibrant 20"x20" panels totaling 20"x41", is rich in texture, capturing both time's passage and human complexity. It was created on wooden cradle panels and is ready to hang.

When I have a painting that simply doesn't want to work, I don't fret (for long😉), instead I paint over it. This painting is an example of just that. I love the rough quality of this painting, and the way that it evokes the snow-covered afternoons of my youth.
I have a specific memory with my mother, and for some reason, that comes to mind when I look at this piece. My sister was working in an office not far from our home. It had been snowy and it was well after dark when she was to get off of work. Not wanting her to walk home alone in the snow and ice, my mother and I met her, and the three of us walked home together. It was then that my mother shared with me that she loved the sound of the snow crunching underfoot. I think of this experience whenever I hear that familiar sound. This painting was made on a cradle panel and is ready to hang in your home or office.
