The “Here and There” panels, which feature carefully curated and arranged collections of small canvases, are intended to be viewed as one work. Color, more often than subject matter, plays the dominant role in their creation.
The 4 inches by 6 inches or “post card size” canvases depict fleeting, evocative moments or memories, and reflect life’s impermanence. They have been described as “visual haikus”. Sometimes playful, they are often moments of transporting quiet solitude, of awe and wonder at the beauty in our universe. In the act of viewing one is taken away for a meditative moment or even, perhaps an "oceanic experience".
The paintings are float mounted on the panels, revealing dimension and casting shadows. The negative space, or what is known in Japan as “Ma”, is important in these panels. It provides space between the figurative "notes" of the paintings. At the same time, the use of a grid and simple framing presentation is suggestive of a bento box; each painting is to be enjoyed on its own but is an important part of a whole.
The series evolved during the 2020 pandemic, a time when many were feeling wistful about travel and connection. An alternate title for the series could be “Wish You Were Here”.

Works in the Ocean Elegy series are visual odes that celebrate the beauty of the underwater world. Beneath their outer guise of beauty, they hint at a bleak future in which we will only be able to view sea life in aquarium museums that fabricate what we have lost in our natural environment. They are expressive, observation-based paintings, informed by Google Earth screen captures to reveal otherwise unknowable, unchartered waters and imagine a world untouched by human activity. They depict fleeting moments in the hidden depths of the planet’s vast oceans.

Sea and Soil includes works in diverse media by artists who share a fascination with ocean and earth ecosystems. Roots, soil, sea flora and related ecologies are explored thru paintings, photographs, constructions, living forms, socially engaged collaborations and performative actions to highlight beauty and awe as well as environmental concerns. Organic, often intersecting, rhizomatic projects and activities, inside and outside the building, create an incubator-like atmosphere to investigate lifeforms beneath us that nurture and sustain life. Through material investigation, research and augmented reality, hidden worlds come into focus, touching on ideas about stewardship, food security, global connectivity and spirituality.

What is the color of water?
The subject of liquids in glass vessels on tabletops has long been a fascination.These everyday objects contain worlds of color and light. I am interested not only in what is contained within the glass vessels, but in the space around them. The shadows, reflections and refractions are of equal importance. In these paintings of 38" x 48", the glasses are "larger than life". The abstract shapes of color unite to create form.

This series is both a personal goodbye to a beloved beach and suggests a more universal goodbye to the ocean. As in my “Ocean Elegy” series, I seek to raise awareness about climate change and the powerful need for care for the world’s oceans through protection, preservation and restoration.
Each painting depicts the same beach and ocean on a different day, and sometimes a different time of day, reflecting the varied moods of the subject.
