FORTITUDE (1997)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 9" x 12"
I got to thinking of Edgar Rice Burroughs' character John Carter of Mars....whenever it looked like the odds were hopeless and he had no options, his response was a defiant, “I still live!”

WINDOW TO THE SUN (2006)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 13" x 11"
After my resolution to devote time to my gallery work, I obsessed with painting these passageways. It doesn't take a Sigmund Freud to figure out why. 1/3

DREAMSEEKER (2016)
Acrylic - 24" x 18"
The first of a possible series of paintings exploring my disillusionment with the "progress" of society. The stars represent the hope she's looking for on the horizon.

ASYLUM (2001)
Acrylic On Panel - 22” x 28”
Another double entendre title—for “asylum” can infer both confinement and security. But is she really attaining both?

TRUST (2016)
Acrylic - 12” x 16”
The masonite board I had been using became a painting that fits a theme begun with LEAP OF FAITH and runs through WINGING IT and other paintings. 1/3

ENLIGHTENMENT (2006)
Oil on Panel - 36” x 24”
In the Portals paintings, enlightenment is found only when one gets beyond the architecture of established formal belief systems. 1/2

ELLIE’S DREAM (2010)
Acrylic - 40” x 30”
The vision came to me exactly as you see it here. I was thinking about the Moon Race and the clear cloudless skies of my childhood days in California. 1/3

LUMEN 5.1 (1999)
Acrylic on Canvas - 30" x 20"
The shape of the opening admitting the glare of light is somewhat like a diagram of an eye, with the circle held by the figure representing the iris. The further one goes outward the greater one can see inward.
