24” x 30”-Mixed media-acrylic, rust, patinated copper and image transfer.

Three Hundred Sixty Degrees moves through time and transformation. A rust-colored band grounds the piece, while soft titan green crowned with patinated copper leaf evoke weathered metal and shifting light. The faint “360 AD” transfer becomes a whisper from history suggesting cycles of decay, renewal, and eternal return.

Byzantine shimmers with quiet luxury-half the surface wrapped in gold leaf, half layered in soft, painterly tones. Beneath the paint, pulled threads leave traces of movement and time. The piece feels both ancient and modern, like a relic reimagined-an abstract meditation on beauty, balance, and impermanence.

Pink Moon drifts between tenderness and tension. A pale pink field holds a band of raw linen, its quiet texture grounding the luminous surface. A silver vessel shape hangs from above, echoing the moon’s pull, while a black leaf-a recurring symbol of tears-anchors the piece in memory and emotion.

Nighttime Garden started with a large giclée print of a smaller painting, which I enhanced by adding more paint and mounting it onto a small cradled panel. It captures what I imagine a garden might look like at night—with glistening dew, delicate spider webs, and bright green buds coming to life in the darkness.

Before Winter is painted on top of a piece of a giclée print that I mounted onto a small cradled panel. It reflects what I imagine a garden might look like on the cusp of autumn turning to winter—leaves crisping from their vibrant hues, with a single green leaf from a live oak lingering at the edge of darkness.

Halo—This is the Moon: Late at night, you notice a faint, ghostly glow in the sky—a delicate ring of light encircling the Moon, perfectly centered. This rare and magical event is called a Moon halo. It occurs when moonlight passes through countless six-sided ice crystals in the Earth’s atmosphere, bending the light into a perfect circle. Legends say that a Moon halo is a warning of approaching bad weather.

Lisbon Window peers into mystery and memory. Seen from below, the composition centers on a deep, shadowed opening-a quiet invitation inward, or perhaps a reminder of what remains unseen. With layered surfaces and softened edges, it reflects Lisbon’s luminous architecture and the spaces between looking and longing. The upper arch is layered with an old photo of the earth found in a 1948 Life magazine.

Just a Phase is a layered painting that covers the entire canvas with moons in different phases. I started it in my home studio but set it aside until I moved into my new studio in Sausalito. Not long after settling in, I would watch the King tides from my windows as the water rose and flooded half of our parking lot. Inspired by this, I decided to cover all the moons in the painting except the full moons, which play a significant role in creating the King tides.

This is the first in a series of three pieces I call "Scandalous." The title was meant to provoke some thought about what it might actually be referencing—and I just liked it. Each piece in this series includes a raw piece of canvas, a paper transfer of my scribbles, and a small swatch of Coloraid paper.

Lipstick was inspired by a magazine transfer that read, “Is this a bag of lipstick?” I loved how it perfectly complemented the juxtaposition of the bold black marks on the right, all distinctly divided by a striking swath of orange lipstick down the center.

This 12” x 12” mixed media artwork on cradled birch incorporates photos, photo transfers, graphite, acrylic paint, rust, and various ephemera.

Perennial is part of my Moon Phase collection, inspired by the phases of the moon and a life-changing journey. This painting was the very first of my moon series, depicting 15 months of moons—a time during which I witnessed my husband’s cancer journey from start to finish. It’s dedicated to everyone who has walked this path, along with their caretakers, symbolizing renewal, recurrence, and hope. I wanted to capture the enduring and cyclical nature of the moon, reflecting themes of resilience and continuity. The rust represents the deterioration of the body, while also embodying the unyielding strength of the spirit.

This mixed media piece was sparked by a page I found in a magazine titled “A Letter to an American Woman Who Wants to Learn French.” I was immediately drawn to it-not just for the phrase, but because it mirrored, in reverse, the story of my French great-great-grandmother, who came to America in the late 1800s and married my American great-great-grandfather. I included the magazine page as a photo transfer, so the title and article read backward-a visual echo of how stories shift over time, especially across languages and generations.

Embedded in the painting is a vintage envelope addressed to her, a faded photograph of her sitting in front of the house where the letter was sent, and a fragment of a letter she wrote in French, barely visible along the edge of the piece. For me, this painting is a meditation on memory, migration, and the way language both connects and obscures. It’s a visual letter back through time-an imagined response to a real woman who already knew the language of the heart.
