Storm Warning
Through my art, I have been exploring atmospheric events and weather-related phenomena for close to 10 years. It began with an intense interest in lightning storms where an exhilarating body of works on paper developed. The recent activity around Queens, New York was not only a new experience for me - but it swept me up and sort of abruptly stole me away from any other idea I could ever have come up with. |

Fireworks
This body of work represents some of the visual beauty experienced
while visiting major cities around the world. I have been interested
in fireworks displays and the excitement of the colors and spectacles
taking place at these many festivals. The sheer delight at these
illuminations in the black sky, and these wonderful explosions
of colors provide endless wonder for me. |

Martians
In the following works on paper consisting
of Collage with Encaustics and Resins, I am traveling back
in my imagination to the time when questions of other civilizations
plagued my mind-and dreams of other worldly beings brought
fear to my inner spirit.

Tug of War
In the series of seven monoprints titled, Tug of War,
I search for answers to a war, which embodies my religious and spiritual
upbringing as a young Jewish woman living in New York in the 1950’s,
to present day. While the war in Vietnam influenced my youth, conflicts
in the Middle East defined my life. |

World Trade Center
Ever
since I can remember, I have been happiest while drawing and painting.
Exploring shapes, positioning them with the magic of color and
line, has been an obsession of mine for a long time. My excitement
builds when the sights and sounds of the streets of New York City
come into play.

Cosmic
More recently, new images have entered my visual vocabulary. Recurrent
dreams have filled my sleep forcing their way into my daily work.
They are dreamy, yet familiar. The empyrean experience is explored
further with the introduction of otherworldly people into the image. |
