For me, art is one of the forms of communicating with people, communicating without words. Image is a universal language for me. Thanks to painting, I can convey my thoughts, my way of perceiving the world, and everything that is in my heart. The world is so colorful and diverse, and yet we, humans, are more connected than it seems. We live in different places, and speak different languages, but have the same feelings and emotions. In my paintings I want to show what unites us: the beauty of nature, the beauty of dreams, the beauty of gestures, traditions, and people. Because very often words are not needed, a picture can express everything…

I mainly work intuitively, allowing my imagination to guide me, no matter the chosen media. My interests in architecture and oriental art influence my own art. I have experimented with various art forms including watercolor, ceramics, fiber, and photography. My current concentration is in abstract acrylic painting. Over the years, I have had the privilege of learning from many talented artists, and I have incorporated that knowledge into my artistic expression. My art has been exhibited locally and nationally and is included in several private collections.

My dioramas always relay a story in 3D form, from all types of genres. Inspired by classic stories to real-life characters, my imaginative mind brings the subject to life. My works are designed to bring joy to all who view them.

I create photos as peaceful, playful, healing stimuli by drawing upon different objects and melding them into a unified whole. While working I often think about how our country needs to heal and find unity. Part of my process is setting up compositions and visually weaving together beautiful glass, flowing fabric, and sometimes surprise elements with vibrant colors and patterns into integrated fluid formations. I then photograph tightly cropped, in close proximity to my setup. My intent is to transcend and transform objects into images that visually excite while calming the soul.

A lifelong passion for art and artists influenced my work. I nod to feminist artist Miriam Schapiro, a leader in the Pattern and Decoration Movement. She frequently celebrated the invisible women designers of fabrics within her work, in both painting and printing, creating what she called Femages. (feminist collages). Having lived much of my life by the shore, I have always loved the play of light in watery reflections. In turn, I am drawn to artists that capture light. The glass sculptures of Stephen Rolfe Powell delight me by turning solids into liquids and back to flowing forms of solid in a graceful play of movement, pattern, and light. The last of many admired artists I will mention is Color Field artist Mark Rothko, he believed in the visceral effect of color and advised his viewers to stand very close to his large images with an open mind to let the effect move the observer. He wanted people to have an experience with his pictures. I also seek to have my work have a visceral impact on the viewer.

In these unsettling times of polarization, and social, political, and environmental strife, I’m transforming light, pattern, and color into a visual oasis. I seek to make abstract images that embrace the value of joy, rich with fluidity and kindness. As an artist and former therapist, I invite the viewer in.

Each of my images can be ordered in small jewel-like prints or large dynamic pieces. I have been printing on ChromaLuxe, a high-definition aluminum, and on white Dibond aluminum panels framed or unframed.

Photography has been my passion since early childhood. As an artist, my motivation is to discover and capture the beauty, even when it is not always readily self-evident, that surrounds us continuously in all areas of our everyday lives.

It all begins with Love. My art explores the order of the world, Life as a result, and Love as the primary element – the core according to the formula: Love = Unified Creative Energy of Life = God = Universe = Nature = Human. ( In God, I understand the supreme principle, universal across all religious denominations.)

The key pillars of my creativity emerge from the phenomena of the unconscious, allegorical expression, and romanticism as a heralds of art.

At its core, my modernist art is a journey toward knowledge, a better world, mutual understanding, and essence. In the contemporary metamodern context, such a manifestation is a return to what is accessible to humanity – a unified truth.

I adhere to the principle of reduction, moving from the essential to the secondary. In painting, I have forsaken realism in favor of abstraction, and then color in favor of a two-component image, where black and white become the essence, the quintessence representing my way of perceiving the duality of the world.

I create abstract expressionism with an ink pen on paper. There is no room for randomness or arbitrary excess. The pen and paper allow me to be in direct contact with the Unified Creative Energy of Life and express deep, complex, multi-component artistic messages in a precise, fast, flexible manner with maximum detail and freedom.

In addition to graphics, I create sculptures, collages, and photography, which enable me to work with surfaces and volumes and give me the freedom to express ideas and place the necessary semantic accents.

Thus, my visual language, through symbols, constructs a cosmogony, immersing the viewer in the artistic space of love, where they come to the center of themselves and to God.

My paintings are purely intuitive. They are structured minimalist compositions, analogous to a piece of orchestral music. They are meant to evoke a subconscious reaction in the viewer. My intent is to communicate through purely geometric forms and colors which are chosen by the artist to complement one another.

I view my art as music for the eyes, basic shapes, and orchestrated colors that appear on the canvas interacting in a way that touches the soul. I chose colors that evoke an emotional reaction as they play off of each other.

Art has been a guiding force throughout my life and creative journey. With a background in graphic design, I gained essential skills that I have used to design everything I do. After completing my studies, I established a weaving studio where, for several years, I worked with fibers, making and selling soft sculptures.
My artistic path then led me to community education projects, where I engaged in painting, signage, stage sets, and sculpture. These projects expanded my knowledge of different mediums and materials, from repurposing objects to experimenting with various shapes and sizes. This period was marked by a continuous exploration of new techniques and the creative adaptation of unexpected materials to meet the needs of each project.

I later transitioned to jewelry making, where I applied my design knowledge on a much smaller scale. This shift allowed me to focus on intricate details and craftsmanship.

Parallel to my artistic endeavors, I have been an avid flower gardener for many years. Initially, I created garden sculptures from found objects, but my focus gradually shifted to indoor sculptures, where I could experiment with a wider range of materials. This shift gave rise to my floral sculptures. I use color and design, with found and created elements, to sculpt flowers in both abstract and more representational forms. My work now includes indoor and outdoor pieces, as well as hanging, floor, table sculptures, and Lamps.

Images or objects depict a story, a narrative of the culture, the abundance, a depletion. My reference for research can be found in the every day, the mundane, and the light. Near and far, quietly still resting against the ground I often think of my work as having a life. A translation into a space. A place for others to contemplate. Thinking.
