When I travel, I look for special moments that transcend the ordinary—moments when light, form, and emotion come together to create something unforgettable. I’m not the kind of person who says a lot unless there’s something meaningful to share, but through my images, I let the world see what moves me most.

My approach to photographic art merges timeless traditions with contemporary exploration. From the moment of capture in the field to the intricate experimentation in my studio, each creation is an intensely personal and joyful journey. Every image reflects my inner response to the subjects I encounter, offering a window into the story I seek to share.

For me, photography is more than just a creative outlet—it’s a way to connect, trust my instincts, and share my vision with others. Whether you’re drawn to the stillness of a desert, the vibrant energy of wildlife, or the timeless allure of an ancient site, my goal is to create images that invite you to see the world through my eyes and perhaps discover something about yourself along the way.

I start painting without an outside trigger of inspiration. The painting process itself is of the utmost importance in my daily life. Painting is comparable to breathing for me. I like to plunge into my painting process as others plunge into a pool. Creating a new painting is an effort to balance between visualizing and reflecting on my surroundings and emotions. The subjects of my work reflect a myriad of daily impressions from traveling and being in motion. While painting, I get an extraordinary sense of personal and creative freedom.

I compose bright, surprising settings like a luxury jewel box and assimilate my interiors to unknown sanctuaries with high vibes by metabolizing my experiences, observations, and impressions into interior pictures. I compose collage elements, sea creatures, plants, and images from art history into new spatial structures and give rebirth to the classical interior. In my highly detailed paintings, with their tapestry-like designs, you will find interiors with fish, leopards, Chinese porcelain, ceramics, baroque furniture, and retro-style influences. Everything in my paintings is playful, ambiguous, and multi-layered. I love variations within a theme and image quotations. My artwork is much more than an assemblage of colors and patterns to please the eye. I build new environments that relate to nothing seen before. I want my pure aesthetic energy to flow out of my artwork and brighten the viewer’s mind with pure buzz and pleasant excitement. I love to break the traditional methods of spatial visualization and the three-dimensional physical illusions of a room to make the viewer’s perception of reality absurd. I want to allow my audience to look behind the bare, well-known pictorial sphere by leaving behind the classically taught composition and inventing more layers within the two-dimensional canvas. By breaking the classical view, I can generate a new experience for my audience, pointing them to emotional reality. I turn my motives into bright, cheering works of art, like an explosion of colors and organic shapes. Everybody is welcome to participate.

Painting is surviving. The painting process itself is of the utmost importance in my daily life. The subjects of my work reflect a myriad of daily impressions from traveling and being in motion. While painting, I get an extraordinary sense of personal and creative freedom. From the basic idea of perspective, I developed the layout of the constructed space, which I am wallpapering. I overpaint my interior compositions with an old master glaze technique and a structure of shadows and complementary colors to increase the luminosity of my work. I capture detailed and precise moments that bring a fresh and intriguing perspective to the world’s reality. As the viewer sees now existing in a different light, context, or resolution, familiar objects appear as something new.

In my painting, “Landscapes of the Heart”, I explore the profound connection between nature and the human spirit. Years ago, during an earthquake retrofit, I found several roll-up biology charts and rescued them from the dumpster. I’ve used this one as my canvas and incorporated ephemera from Golden Books to add depth, layers of meaning, and a sense of idealized nostalgia. Symbolism plays a significant role in conveying the message behind this artwork. Landscapes depicted within the hearts represent idealized scenes transformed to the threats from environmental crises. By juxtaposing the beauty of these landscapes with the underlying threat of climate degradation, I aim to provoke a sense of urgency and reflection. Furthermore, the tangled power cord symbolizes the power we possess to make positive changes and the necessity for regeneration within our hearts and minds. It serves as a reminder that we hold the ability to redefine our relationship with the natural world, and with each other. By utilizing images from the Golden Books of my childhood I aim to create a nostalgic connection that reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve the beauty of our world. I invite viewers to reflect on their own relationship with their own hearts and with the love of this world and consider the collective effort required to address the challenges we currently face.

As an artist, I explore the relationship between material, time, and sustainability. My work is a reflection of the way I experience the world, combining my fascination with nature, human influence, and the properties of materials. Using recycled corrugated cardboard as my primary medium, I transform discarded materials into layered, abstract compositions that invite exploration and interpretation.

Sustainability is the foundation of my artistic practice. I believe that art and ecological awareness can go hand in hand, which is why I exclusively work with environmentally friendly or recycled materials. Each piece is a testament to the beauty and potential of what is often overlooked. My artistic process involves extensive material research, allowing me to push the boundaries of cardboard as a medium—from its use as a canvas to harnessing its characteristic rippled texture as an artistic starting point.

My LandscapING series is inspired by 18th-century landscape architect Zocher, whose organic, flowing designs shaped many parks and gardens in the Netherlands. By translating his principles into my work, I examine the balance between human intervention and the natural world, creating art that embodies both structure and spontaneity.

Through my art, I encourage viewers to reflect on their connection with nature, the impact of human actions, and the possibilities that lie within repurposed materials. My work is not just about aesthetics—it is a statement on sustainability, transformation, and the endless potential of creative reinvention.

Art is not merely a profession for me; it is a vital expression of my individuality. My artistic working style drives me to continually seek new avenues for creativity, pushing the boundaries of my imagination while remaining attuned to the needs of the painting at hand. I thrive in environments that encourage original thought and allow the freedom to innovate, creating unique visual narratives that resonate with audiences.

In the last three decades, I have been creating wall-mounted, cast resin, and aluminum sculptures combined with canvas and gold leaf, and exploring the computer as an art tool for creating digital artwork.

All my life, I have loved to create art full of emotions and feelings, “soul,” with the satisfaction of fun. I am interested in the balance and composition of colors and objects rather than the reality of the items.

The direction of the last two decades has been aimed at understanding and, through artwork, expressing the human struggle of emotions and adaptations. For the past ten years, I have been polishing my creative work in the Surreal-abstract style.

The main motto of my artwork is: Just as in a good story, the readers have space to create their image; in a good picture, the viewers can form their own account.

I prefer using the collage format to integrate associated images into a cohesive unit that is even more compelling because of the embedded story. Having been a playwright and technical writer, I am accustomed to delivering content with a message. So now, as a visual communicator, I continue to provide meaning via the structure of the collage format, wherein the four photos confirm, augment, or even contradict each other if warranted. I enjoy offering the richness that the multiplicity of images provides, along with the impact gained through their thoughtful positioning. Ultimately, I intend to have my work act as a doorway to the viewer’s own mental and emotional framework regarding the collection of images, perhaps finding their own very personal meaning in them.

I came of age during the 1960s. As a lawyer and citizen, I was and am a champion for gender equality. I paint the female figure in sometimes absurd, sometimes haunting locations. Far from creating emotionless family portraits, I blend color and imagery to explore themes of mythology, literature philosophy, and emotion.

Here and there I will do floral or landscapes and faces too.

I studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. My work has been shown in Galleries across the nation. I am a signature member of the Baltimore, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia watercolor societies. I chose watercolor as a medium because it is fluid and sometimes serendipitous. I also do woodcut prints and carvings in wood.

Thirty years ago, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. In addition to painting, I am highly visible in the community providing support and advocacy for all those who suffer from mental illness. The bipolar helps shape my work, more in some collections than in others.

Colors fascinated me as a child. I remember scribbling and coloring on the walls of our home! Of course, I was reprimanded for my generous acts of creativity! Thank God for my parents, I grew up and grew out of painting on objects that were not meant to be painted on! That summer, my parents enrolled me in an art class, and it opened a whole new world for me. I realized that painting was not only meditative but also a powerful medium of expressing one’s thoughts via colors. Creating felt like poetry to me. The more I immersed myself in the beauty of this medium, the more I discovered the candor it gave me. My style is predominantly abstract. I use mixed media, oil, and acrylic on canvas. I believe in not limiting my creativity to painting but in using diverse, non-traditional elements and techniques to create. I feel fortunate to have had my work appreciated and commended at various national and international shows and exhibitions. My artistic journey has been paved with unending love and support from my family.
