Mama Loon and Mister Dale is a story of two loons who spring into action to protect their offspring when a human gets too close.
Snaps
These paintings have their origins in a photo or a compilation of photos, intertwining memory and imagination. The joy of painting takes over as I experiment freely with color and technique resulting in images that are spontaneous and nostalgic.

Images that capture the quiet drama of daily life

Public Foundations and Collections
Life Patterns
My images of everyday life speak to the resilience of the human spirit. The connection between visual patterns created with a paintbrush and the patterns created throughout our lives is at the core of my belief that there is no separation between life and art.
Home
In these paintings I use the iconic symbol of the house as both a physical and symbolic object, to hold, to carry, and to reflect upon.
The Life and Times of the Blue Fairy
In this narrative body of paintings I've personalized the character of the Blue Fairy to reflect my own thoughts and actions. In this work I explore her daily life, girlhood and travels.
Girlhood
These unsentimental paintings explore the freedom and physicality of girlhood.
Travels
These images were inspired by travels near and far.
Tales
Through allegorical images I have reimagined Pinocchio as a boy who experiments with drugs, becomes addicted to heroin, and the devastation it causes on his life.
In Treatment (Working Toward the Cure)
These paintings represent a transitional time that encompasses many feelings including sadness, anguish, discovery and hope.
Chinese Zodiac
In the spirit of traditional Chinese art I have incorporated a written personality trait as well as the numeric place of each animal in the zodiac cycle.
Inside China
I began these large scale oil paintings following a trip to Beijing in November 2009. The work attempts to capture the culture and spirit of the people as China transforms.
