No Tribute To Pollock
2016Those are stick figures relating to each other, many engaging in sportive activity or watching, walking, talking, grouping... Painting has a sandy mixed media background.
Mech Town
2016Seems abstract but on closer perception it's a City in the Skies held together by mechanic construction

Oma
2014My grandmother died this year. The days after her death whenever I saw brimstone butterflies I had to think of her. As if her soul had been able to ride the butterfly and enjoying its gay path - visiting once more before eventually going home.

2012If sub atomic particles would be square, which they most probably are not, I think you might find an arrangement like this, maybe, somewhere - of course they most probably would't have any color either :-)
music 2012
2012- there is a slash in the canvas. It's NOT broken, but music can't be confined! (actually, the canvas did break; this is how the painting started out ;-))
abstract
2013the beauty of shapes
the view
2012The 4 paintings, 6"x6" each, can be hung separately or together. They are supposed to open up a view to different scenes, landscapes, cityscapes. I thought it might be nice, if you are in a small space, to have the opportunity to venture out through the windows in the little paintings. The paintings were created for a small NY apartment.
Chilean Miners
2011Don't forget the awesome rescue and the human drama of the coal workers trapped in the mine for months!
everyday people
2011...doing everyday things - everyday...
Fukushima
2011Earthquake, tsunami, radiation from the damaged power plants - the people are trying and working hard to keep it together...
Revolution
2011Upheaval in North Africa - peoples call for freedom - a matter of human rights - they gathered courage - and momentum - world is watching - many die - for a better future.
Tornado
2011The US was hit by the worst tornadoes since many years in April 2011 - climate's changing...

Jazz
2010Jazz is what happens, when you carefully position notes to create spaces that are filled with music - in the listener's head. It's the spaces, that make it come alive, the 'in-between'. Careful use of primary colors! Let the colors play around each other. The instruments are just tools, secondary to the music. Jazz fills dull spaces with life, brings light. It's passion! It's eternal and bridges gaps.

2010It's what it is...
Cool Blue Magic
2010I finished my paintings on yellow, red and blue. A big uni colored shape and a woman interpreting the color through shape. Long hours of trying to grasp and put on canvas what I had in mind... Obnoxiously Yellow was finished in no time and I had a pretty good idea of what to do with Cool Blue Magic. Red Hot was really the most difficult, because what's hot for a woman? Some think big butts are hot others not. It took me a night of insomnia and morning struggle with the canvas to get beyond body parts and focus on shape as I had done for the other two. The essence of 'hot' is a certain rhythm rather than a thing. It is where music meets painting. Same is true for the other two paintings of the series. Hear the obnoxiously yellow tune? or the cool blue magic? I do...

Alien 2
2009The painting expresses the feeling of not quite fitting in. The gray men are just slightly different and even though they successfully take part in everyday life, they're left with a feeling of alienation - and, if there has been any doubt, the gray men have always been among us, even fighting on our side. You wouldn't even recognize them. But they - they know who they are.

Creativity at Night
2009When she's sitting in the dark, she's still full of colors and ideas, no matter how dull it's all around. She's sharing the spirit of the first creator, who you might find hanging there, if you turn the painting upside down.
musician 2009
2009Black line drawing on white. It's a musician, playing a guitar, the line goes with the music. See the music.

Colors, Shapes & Sentiments
2009Consists of 3x4 1'x1' canvases. Each depicts a state of mind or 'sentiment' using abstract shape/color. Reading them left to right top to bottom, you should be able to discover an progressing story
the bed pt. 4/4
2009Again a predominant use of reds, but again in different hues and character of shapes and this time adding some blues and purples. Changing the sentiment once more.
the bed pt 1/4
2009what can happen in a bed? Did create 4 scenarios, each depicting a certain sentiment, connected with the scene. Attempt to find the appropriate language of shapes/colors corresponding to the sentiment
the bed pt. 2/4
2009Using almost the same color sceme (minus the green) as in pt 1, though in different amounts and in completely different shapes to change the atmosphere. A universal language?
the bed pt. 3/4
2009As in pt. 2, I had to sacrifice some aspects of 'good composition' to create a certain sentiment.
need to get out
2009How does the sentiment look in some soldier's head, during a battle at night?
