Using a variety of electronic brushes and blending pixels instead of paint, these ORIGINAL digital paintings are created from scratch, sometimes with collaged  elements --  they are not reproductions/giclées of work in other media. As an artist who  loves working with paint on canvas, I think digital methods are uniquely apt for taking imagination on a rocket ship ride! See also my Faces  series showing both paint-painted and digital portraits with psychological dimensions.

Digital Paintings

Abstracts and semi-abstracts (figurative suggestions) inspired by nature, experience and imaginative musings while living and painting in different parts of the world.

Abstracts

Small  paintings  have a sense of intimacy and can carry a big impact. These original paintings are as small as 8"x8" and no larger than16" on one side. Ranging in style from Abstract to Representational, they are easy to transport, give as gifts, and mix and match in different arrangements.

Small Paintings

A focus on Contemporary, Pop, Expressionist, and Surreal People at the intersection of the Real, the Virtual, and the Imagined.  Creative portraits that range from illustrative to painterly in style. .

Faces & Figures

Abstract and  Impressionistic paintings inspired by mythology (classical and comics) and rendered with imaginative expression.

Myth & Marvel

Imaginative, contemporary treatments of the natural world as it experienced both externally and internally. There is a "spirit" to some places that captures more than the eye. Some of these paintings were featured in public gallery solo shows: "Spirit of Place" and "Flow".

Land, Sea, Nature

A basic component underlying visual art-- the fundamental contrast of light and dark values. The impact of lines, masses, and shapes in a composed space. Includes figurative as well as abstract works.See also Book of Sighs and Incantation collections.

Black/White Monochrome

Paintings that include elements of collage (fabric, paper, other materials). See also artist's  "3D Paintings" and "Collage" collections.

Mixed-Media

A collection of artworks featuring winged creatures, objects and ideas that fly in air or soar in imagination.

Wings

Paintings with 3D translucent forms The two mixed-media assemblage works are on wood with movable parts.

3D Paintings & Assemblage

Semi-abstract paintings evoking the spirit of special places in nature endowed with vital significance when we encounter them . Light and energy suffuse in material form and a sense of the extraordinary prevails in the world  -- if only for a moment.

Spirit of Place

I love collage -- an early form of art and design that has pivoted in ironic directions since the Dadaists used photomontage for socio-cultural and political commentary. This collection proceeds in that direction as well as being aesthetic fun.

Collage and PhotoMontage

Free-form ink-wash and acrylic drawings/paintings that are gestural variations on a sigh.
