She Glows from the Inside Out

I'm honored to have had this assemblage included in the Sacred and Liturgical Art Exhibition at the M.G. Nelson Gallery through May 30, 2026.

My work is inspired by icons, shrines, rosaries, nature, and the spiritual objects that have shaped my life. Through layered assemblage, I explore memory, faith, and the presence of the sacred in everyday experience.

An LED light within the piece allows it to be viewed illuminated or unlit, creating two distinct expressions of the same work.

Mom's Quirky Lamp made its way home from the Edward Hopper House Museum after the "55 x 2, Part 2 Light National Juried Exhibition." I shared my work in this museum in the early 90's. Nice to reconnect with my New York roots and the Hudson River Valley. This Museum is in Nyack, NY, about 30 miles north of NYC and is the birthplace of Edward Hopper (1882-1967). The house was built by Hopper's grandfather and remained Hopper's home until 1908. I just realized Hopper passed just before I was born, which fascinates me. I grew up a short 10 minute drive from his birthplace and that intrigues me with Hopper even more. Of all his work, his Helga Pictures most resonate with me: they are breathtaking. It was an honor to share my work in the space where Hopper's creativity was first cultivated. Thank you for this opportunity.

Piper tweets nonstop every time I visit. He won't stop until I let him eat chia seeds off my finger. As I watched him eat, I noticed the magical world of bright colors and textures inside his cage. Piper became my muse in the creating of Piper's Paradise: a playful home for my aunt’s parrotlet, Piper. Mindful of the joy of unexpected inspiration.

✨ She Lights Up the Night ✨

Honored to have this assemblage piece included in the Sacred and Liturgical Art Exhibition at the M.G. Nelson Gallery through May 30, 2026.

Icons, shrines, rosaries, nature, and spiritual objects have always spoken to me. My work blends those influences into imperfect, intuitive assemblages that explore faith, memory, and spiritual presence.

She Lights Up the Night includes an LED element that allows the piece to be viewed illuminated or unlit, shifting its mood and presence. Mindful of light's power to bring hope, peace, and spiritual comfort.

Very Happy Tortoise is smiling at the opportunity to participate in 77th Member Exhibition, Off the Page. It's apropos, that Churro, our tortoise, is doing his best to crawl off this page. Maybe he's trying to find his way to a new home? Mindful of the opportunity to share with others.

Oh! This pink chair! When reading in it as a child, it was covered in green velvet. Its bigness made me feel warm and safe. Mom reupholstered it and I dyed it pink to try and cover up the fading fabric. I think I will need to pick a new covering eventually. Yet, I do appreciate its worn and loved look and feel. Maybe I just let it be: loved and lovely in its own way? I feel an impulse to reinvent it, but undecided on the direction. Thoughts anyone?

There’s something timeless about miniature worlds.

My dollhouses are rooted in the one I had as a child—the one I still have today. It wasn’t just a toy; it was a place where imagination stretched beyond its walls. Every room held a story. Every object carried a quiet kind of magic.

Now, as I create, I find myself returning to that same sense of wonder. I’m not just building small spaces—I’m revisiting memory, reimagining details, and letting intuition guide what belongs and what doesn’t. I am mindful of how these dollhouses become layered spaces of past and present, where childhood curiosity meets the artist I’ve become.

In each tiny room, I’m reminded: the smallest spaces can hold the biggest stories.

A funky lamp from my childhood home—full of patterns that pulled me in and never let go.

This collage is about that fascination… how color, shape, and repetition taught me how to see.

Memory turned into pattern, and pattern became a way back to and from this memory.

This bed held more than sleep—it held wonder. I used to trace every curve and swirl, getting lost in the details my mom chose so carefully, her sense of beauty shaping how I first saw the world. Repainting it now feels like reopening that space—where imagination, comfort, and love all lived together. Mindful of how the memory isn’t just visual… it’s something I still carry, something that continues to guide what I make.

This piece brings me back to my parents’ bedroom—the bed that always fascinated me growing up. I was drawn to the swirls, the carved details, the quiet beauty of it all.

My mom had an incredible eye. Her taste filled our home with moments like this, and without knowing it, she taught me how to see.

This collage is a return to that memory. Mindful of Mom's sense of beauty.
