Lovely Article in ACES Magazine...

These original paintings are available through Lyrical Fine Art. Thank you, Jim Lamantia, for you wonderful writing skills! And the photo of me is by Whitney Nicosin of Gold Soul Photography. 

Home to You

7x7 inch print on 8.5 x 11 inch paper. "Home to You" available on Etsy.

Today is my little boy's birthday -- he is five! And this sweet sailboat reminds me of him.  It is a mixed media painting on wood that uses some of my new hand-made paper in the sails & boat. I hope that no matter how far away he ventures he will always know he has a home in my heart.  Happy birthday, Nicky.

Hello Summer!

 

 

Now at the Firefly Gallery at 127 Main Street in Northport, NY, I'm showing a collection of my favorite summery framed prints!

 Pictured above is "The Boys of Summer."  Many of the prints shown here are available unframed on my Etsy shop: "Day Off," "Spun," "Aloft," and "Hello Summer" as well as others.

I'll Leave a Light on For You

"I'll Leave a Light on For You"

 

I've just added this print to my Etsy shop. It's now available as either a 7x7 print or an 8x10 print. 

TRUST

Acrylic on Wood Panel. Original and Giclees available through LaMantia Gallery.

 

Another in the Cont/Text series. This one truly is my favorite so far. I want it over my own fireplace. Because the woods and stars have always held romance for me, I can smell the pine needles and the crisp night air as these two embark on their journey into the unknown. The night is dark, and they are far from home. The wind has kicked up with twilight. Yet they are holding hands. Their trust in each other keeps things from getting too overwhelming -- or one would hope.

Faith

 

 

"Faith" - Original Acrylic Painting on Wood 22x32 inches.

 

Hello friends. I am back.

 

Really.

 

It has been a year of struggle and rebirth. I do not know how much I can possibly share after such a long absence. But this painting, "Faith," encapsulates exactly how I am feeling right now. It's not the best photo. LaMantia Fine Art has a beautiful high resolution version that they are using for stunning giclees.  This is just a picture I snapped mid-painting in the studio. It's one of a new series I am creating called "Con/Text," where I explore the relationship between words and images. The word "FAITH" is spelled out in the leaves of the tree holding the branch-walker.

 

The inspiration for this series was a piece I did several years ago for the Enormous Tiny Art Show called "MADLY." You might remember this one.

 

"Madly" prints now available on Etsy.

 

I look forward to sharing the rest of the series with you!

Springy Flowers

Another pattern I designed yesterday. Still tying to think of a name for this one, and I need to work out some of the kinks. Painting coming soon!
