My most recent work considers the changing connotations of the word "home" over a lifetime. These paintings and drawings also reflect the sense of loss connected with aging and mortality.

Alll these paintings focus on color and color relationships as well as revealing stories about my inner life.

This collection contains works in various media on paper.

Paintings 2011 - 2020

The idea of art as a division of the two-dimensional surface into areas of shape and color rather than the representation of a three-dimensional world in two-dimensions, along with an acquired personal iconography, has become the focus of my paintings since around 1988. The often brightly-colored paintings began to reference the hard-edged, geometric look of the artwork of the 1950s and 1960s, while the iconography continued the feminist story that began in my earlier paintings and drawings. I do return to illusionism periodically  because I enjoy drawing, and I enjoy drawing with color, especially landscapes based on my travels around the US. These drawings and paintings often produce images that enter my iconic lexicon and appear in my graphic-style work.

Paintings 1988 - 2010

One day a fellow entered my studio and asked what I was doing; my joking response was, "Dividing the canvas into areas of shape and color."  In time, however, the idea of art as a division of the two-dimensional surface into areas of shape and color rather than the representation of a three-dimensional world in two-dimensions, along with an acquired personal iconography, became the focus of my paintings for the next twenty years. The often brightly-colored paintings began to reference the hard-edged, geometric look of the artwork of the 1950s and 1960s, while the iconography continued the feminist story that began in my earlier paintings and drawings.

Paintings 1985 - 1987
These paintings form the underpinnings of the iconography that has repeated over the years. After this series of paintings, the imagery became flat areas of shape and color, devolving into a hard-edged, graphic/geometric style.

Works on Paper 2008  - 2020

These early works include figure studies showing my love of drawing the human form, and prints which form the beginings of my iconographic imagery.
