"April"
Acrylic on canvas, 24” X 36”. Spring has arrived in full thriving force, overtaking the gray skies with a bountiful energy that won't be contained. The annual rebirth that is always worth the wait.
"Turbulent Waters"
Acrylic on canvas, 36” X 48”. Warm-weather storms create waters that are formidable, alluring, and uncontrolled...all at once. A dramatic event of nature I've witnessed from Katama Beach of Martha's Vineyard to the Eagle River Valley of Alaska.
"Winter Forest"
Acrylic on canvas, 24” x 36”. The blue ice of glaciers is the inspiration for the color spectrum, which lowers the temperature and forms a reimagined frozen landscape of trees and snow. Even in the coldest times, there is beauty.
"So Much Fun"
Acrylic on canvas, 24” x 36”. A celebration of the similarities and differences that occur simultaneously within our existence. They’re abundant and beautiful and should make you smile.
"Tinker at Her Post"
Acrylic on canvas, 18” x 24”. Our beloved chihuahua is central in representing what we all feel or desire at some point in our journey: a longing for the outside world and its adventures, the comfort of a safe home, and the steady vigilance to guard what is most important to us.
"Explore"
Acrylic on paper, 2" x 8". Hillsdale Public Library (NJ) asked me to create a design for their 2026 bookmark series. The landscape encourages readers to venture into new areas of knowledge. Fulton Street Artist Collective in Chicago selected this painting for inclusion in their annual "Tiny Works" exhibit.
"Violets and Snow"
Acrylic and modeling paste on canvas, 24” x 36”. Seasons often coexist as the transition from winter to spring gains momentum. During this time, opposite sides of nature come together to create a unique display of flowering and frost.
"Katie and Olivia"
Acrylic on canvas, 24” x 36”. Inspired by my daughters, who are equal in my eyes and will face life’s tempest side by side, undaunted. A display of sibling unity and strength, which will carry on long after their parents are gone.
"Islands"
Acrylic on canvas, 24" x 36". The cosmos is utilized to communicate a reality that is a paradox: an existence that is experienced both together and alone at the same time. What seems so close can be at such a great distance it can never be reached.
"July Evening"
Acrylic on canvas, 24" x 36". Summer afternoon heat is followed by a welcome visual reward at the end of the day. I love when the colors of nature are impossible to ignore, grabbing attention away from our usual human drama.
"Eclipse"
Acrylic on canvas, 36’’ x 48”. Darkness descends with shards of gold and silver, streaked with crimson, representing the oppressive and destructive nature of money and relentless greed, which increasingly infiltrates and obscures any calm and peaceful state of mind.
"Calico"
Acrylic on canvas, 24" x 36". A tribute to George, my favorite cat when I was a kid. Her calico colors were beautiful and she had this exact expression when she sat next to me. I think I was her favorite too.
