"Hydrangeas and Shells"
This original oil painting measures 20" x 16" unframed, painted on panel. It's hard for me not to love natural found objects, books, and flowers together.

"Peonies and Pears"
Those of you who garden know that peonies (at least in Michigan) bloom for little more than one week. If I'm lucky, I get two peony paintings in a summer! While I used peonies as minor players in a couple other pieces this year, this is THE peony painting of 2017.

"September Pastoral No.1-Through the Trees"
“September Pastoral No.1-Through the Trees” was painted from the same viewpoint as “September Pastoral No.2-Path.” I simply shifted my gaze and gear 90 degrees to enjoy the new composition. These trees with their gentle color change are very characteristic of Michigan autumn landscapes.

"La Tavola"
"La Tavola" is Italian for "The Table". This painting uses some pieces of antique kitchenware given to me by some friends in Douglas, MI, as well as a green glass bottle from my painter/bottle collector grandpa. It's a masterful piece that can handle a large wall.
This painting is an original oil on wood panel. In the frame it measures: 31h x 43w. Expert packing and shipping available. Please inquire for international shipping options.

"Hawthorn Hill"
"Hawthorn Hill" was painted on my second year painting at this beautiful land trust farm. It's a lovely painting, and probably kicked off my pastoral landscape series. To me, pastorals are relaxing and sometimes slightly idealized places that make a sort of portal to a happy place.
This painting is a 16"x20" original oil on linen. In the frame it measures: 22 1/2h x 26 1/2w. Packing and shipping available.

Principessa is the Italian word for princess. This painting and its partner piece, "Principe", are inspired by the old story of Cinderella. In this painting, the princess waits to be rescued from a storm, though her rescuer in the ship off in the distant right has met with hard times in the water.

"Lucretia"
This painting was painted from life in Florence, Italy. The model was a young woman from Sardinia, but my initial concept for the piece was based on a Rembrandt painting of Lucretia. Over the years, I’ve titled it: “Girl from Sardinia”, “Her Name Is Allegory”, and “Lucretia”. I’m back on “Lucretia” again, but you may take your pick!
This painting is an original oil on linen. In its custom American-made frame it measures: 53"h x 48"w x 1" 3/4d.
Please inquire for delivery/shipping options and price.
"The Bride"
I have titled this painting Ophelia, The Bride or Annunciation, but it really could bear many titles. I don’t intellectualize my paintings while I work on them. I choose my subjects intuitively. Titles are slow in coming because I try not to anticipate where a painting will take me.
A young woman is seated alone in her wedding dress in an undefined space that can be past, present, or future- all of which tumble about in her mind. It is an iconographic moment. Anna, as The Bride, represents to me those times of struggle between the ideal and the real. She could be Mother Earth (Gaia), a struggling nation, or Mary at the Annunciation. It is the moment when we recognize the real has supplanted the ideal, when the real subverts all imagined ideals.
The painting measures 40x36 and is oil on linen canvas. Being sold in its current pictured frame or in an alternative. Inquire for delivery/shipping options.
