I am entering new territory with my work and I'm loving it. Continuing to use interior and still lifes as my subject matter, I am creating installation pieces based on recurring elements in my paintings such as chairs, chandeliers, flowers, frames and bookcases that are hung on the wall or from the ceiling.

Continuting On

Continuing On opened with a bang. We were thrilled with the large turn-out! The exhibition included 4 artists- Karen Appleton, Joanne Aono, me, and Neha Vedpathak. Here are some pictures from the show (click on the artist's name to see more work).

I am delighted that Sadie and Eli are with me when I make my art and now they can experience it in a gallery show. Here they are admiring, discussing, and contemplating my work.
