This series was borne out of my deep love of the sea and the emotions that it evokes for me. Sounds, smell and the sheer energy of the water, tides and light of day are carried throughout this work.
Lay Me to Rest on the Hill by the Sea 27″ X 55″ Sold On a visit to Scotland, I was so entranced by the stunning landscape — the verdant greens of the hills, turquoise of the sea and white sand beaches, as well as the huge sky and endless clouds of every color. I […]
Magic Hour 24″ X 48″ Sold ‘Magic Hour’ was inspired by time spent by the water, just when the sun is at the horizon, about to set. I assembled all of the sketches and photographs from multiple trips to the ocean and began to see a theme emerging. I then dyed and painted cotton fabric […]
Stranded 50″ X 42″ $3200 Sailing along, upside-down, on the top of the ocean’s surface are thousands of jelly fish-like creatures known as velella. Also called “by-the-wind-sailors”, they are pushed by the wind, day after day, never fully submerging themselves. Due to a sail that rises above the water and is angled, they generally tack […]

I love standing on the rocks and immersing myself in the rhythm of the water washing up on the rocks, and then receding. I can do this for hours. Fabric collage created with hand-dyed cotton fabrics, quilted with […]
Moonlight Sonata 50″ X 30″ $2000 Walking along the ocean’s edge just after dark evokes a special feeling of serenity. The rhythm of the surf combined with the darkness feel like a lullaby to be heard before sleeping. On moonlit nights, one can catch glimpses of the surf and the patterns in the sand, but […]
Eventide 22″ X 30″ Sold The patterns in the sand at ocean’s edge, created from the ebb and flow of the tides, continue to fascinate me. ‘Eventide’ explores the reflection of the early evening sky in the small pools of water at ocean’s edge. Fabric collage created with hand-dyed cotton fabrics, quilted with a variety of […]
Low Tide 47″ X 29″ $1800 I am drawn to the sea in many regards. I long for the sound, smell, and sheer energy of it. ‘Low Tide’ focuses on the simplicity of the patterns created on the natural landscape when the water rushes the sand and recedes hundreds of times — what is left […]
