12" x 12" mixed media on birch panel

This piece originated from an old drawing of swimmers I created years ago. Combining that drawing, some eggs, and a photo transfer titled "WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HER HUSBAND," I was inspired to subtly address the theme of infertility.

Charcoal and acrylic 36” x 48”

This painting was inspired by a couple of drawings I recently discovered in an old portfolio tucked away in my mother's attic. I brought them back to my studio, thinking they would add a graphic element to a piece I’d been working on for several weeks. The colors in the painting were all centered around water, and once I incorporated these two drawings, everything just clicked. I extended the legs on the top figure and was contemplating my next move when a fellow artist from down the hall walked into my studio and immediately said she wanted to buy it! It now hangs in her living room, overlooking a lagoon—the perfect setting!

Acrylic 40” x 30”- This painting of my daughter is based on a photo I took on Thanksgiving Day in Puerto Vallarta, during a trip we took the fall before the pandemic. She didn’t even know about the photo until I painted it exactly five years later and hung it in my studio. It’s a piece that holds a special place in my heart—I love this memory of our trip.
