What Remains Original 16" x 20" painting sold. Taken from the artists photographs of travels in Morocco. In the back courtyard of the villa where we stayed in El Jadida a spindly tree with its spare branches up against this deteriorated wall captured my love of line, texture, light and shadow. I was intrigued by the simplicity of the image, but the complexity of the surface.	Mesha Original 16" x 20" painting sold. Taken from the artists photographs of travels in Morocco. This battle scarred dominant male cat ruled the villa where he lived in El Jadida, Morocco. We were guests in his home.	Sidi Bouzid Hibiscus Original 14"x 11" mixed media on canvas sold. Taken from my photographs from traveling in Morocco. This was a close up of the hibiscus flowered bush and tiled floor that made up our villa's exterior. I loved the composition of the flower and leaves with patterned tiles. It is mixed media on canvas.
Beach Boys Series Original acrylic painting 36" x 24" tryptic on 3 canvases (each 12" x 24") sold. This series is from captured moments of my husband and son playing on Treasure Island beach in Florida. The water was like diamonds glistening in the sun and the sky was clear and endless. The beach gave a beautiful salmon colored ground that completed this lovely graphic of a father and son sharing a special moment.	I Forgot Original painting 10" x 10" on gessoed board, sold. A self portrait about the feeling of being a creative person and not knowing my voice anymore, hence "I forgot what I had to say." This piece was done in association with an exhibition show entitled The Soul of SOMa to create a 10" x 10" piece about ourself, our work in relation to the 10th anniversary open studio for the South Orange Maplewood community of artists.	Shadow Play Original mixed media painting 16" x 20" on canvas sold. Taken from a photograph of my son and friends playing on a handball court in Astoria, New York. I am attracked to the shadow and light against such a barren, stark background and the juxtaposition of children playing with toy trains in this environment...City kids.
Unconditional Love Original acrylic painting 10" x 8" on gessoed board sold. Inspired by my little muse, my son, I thought about the messages from heart candies during valentines day. Love for your children is unconditional..and caries profound life changes when you are responsible for their care, love and well being. It is an unconditional and transforming love that runs deep and never leaves.
