TOTEM II: NAUSET (2012)
Acrylic - 12" x 9"
When I think of Nauset beach, I am reminded of early mornings walking the sands wrapped in dense fog. One late afternoon, however, a fog rolled in slowly off the ocean, something I had never experienced outside of Northern California. 1/2

BALANCE (2002)
Oil on Canvas - 24” x 20”
There’s a long tradition of death symbols in art—like the skull on the canopy of leaves here—invoked as “memento mori.” The phrase translates to “remember to die,” but more accurately the symbols serve as reminder of the brevity of existence. 1/2

PATHLESS (1999)
Acrylic on Panel - 18" x 24"
In preparing works for a one-man show, I was pressuring myself to have every painting be about a "grand theme" and I was searching around for a subject. I was feeling almost as stressed as if I had a deadline for an illustration project. 1/2

TIME’S PASSING (2007)
Oil on Panel - 26” x 16”
As a native Californian, I really enjoy the change in seasons that I experience living in New England. There is even beauty to be found in the shadows of the leafless trees against the pale gray winter sky. 1/2

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.
