Silk Road
Red, green and black take prominence as memories of burial mounds and weeping willows are realized through these multi-layered encaustics. These works were inspired by a study trip to China in 2006 |

LANDSCAPES: The Keys
I am revisiting...... Sky and water: a place where magic happens. These works came as a result from time spent in the Florida Keys. The horizon line is inescapable -the line of demarcation between two spectacular bodies with endless variations.
Some of the pieces were done on paper using a variety of media. Many pieces were done on panels, using them in a vertical orientation. This is not the traditional way but I felt it served to emphasize cloud patterns and their reflections.

LANDSCAPES: Italian Pine Series
ongoing series: These magestic and graceful pines brought to mind cathedral windows reaching skyward. The negative space created by the intertwined branches gives the illusion of faceted glass panes - capturing bits of sky.
Whereas my first interpretation of these trees came after seeing them in Italy, I feel that they have now become a symbol for a spiritual space and are ever changing. |

LANDSCAPES: Mexico
2004 Travels to Mexico have been the inspiration for these works. The colorful buildings and bright light of Mexico were the primary focus of the paintings. Places of interest were documented through sketches, paintings done on location as well as through photography. Memories merge, creating compilations of images that evoke the light, form and colors that initially held my attention.

LANDSCAPES: Spain
These "memoryscapes" are a result of my travels. They are primarily oil on canvas, oil on paper as well as some watercolors done on location. I consider this to be an on-going series as elements tend to reappear or they are intentionally revisited. |

LANDSCAPES: France
Ongoing exploration of the remembered and reinvented landscapes of France. Images from my sketchbooks and photographs taken are used to stimulate memories which then are revisited on the canvas. |

FIGURATIVE: Monoprints
These monoprints were done on Rives BFK paper for the most part, using oil base inks and oil sticks. I call them monoprints/unique prints because some were actually run through the press more than once after being further manipulated. There were no rules! |
