This 11×14 inch Acrylic on Canvas is approximately 19×16 with it’s black wood frame. I painted this from a reference photo I took after visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time. I loved the variety of colors, especially with the contrast in values from the shaded areas.
Bixby Bridge
Highway 1, near Big Sur, CA has the most vivid colors in the Spring. Pastel is great for capturing such vibrant color. This piece is 14×20 inches, soft pastel on paper and available in a 24×30.5 inch frame, with a beige/cream colored mat.
Underwater Harmony: A Colorful Dance
This is my latest Watercolor Koi painting (on paper). It’s 11×17 inches available in a frame (no mat) that measures 14×20 inches.
I used a reference photo my husband (Lenny Sharp) took, with permission. I tried to capture the graceful sense of movement, reflection of the sky on the water and the bright colors of the fish. The photo was taken at the same cafe in Kyoto that I visited many times while living in Japan from 2012-2016.
Jewels of the Pond
This watercolor on paper is approximately 20×14 inches. With the mat and frame it is 32×26 inches.
I painted this in my studio using reference photos I took during the years we lived in Japan from 2012 to 2016. During frequent visits to Kyoto, I’d stop by a small cafe with a beautiful koi pond in the back. The vibrant colors and graceful movements of these fish were mesmerizing to watch.

This sculpture is a stylized human figure, 32 inches tall X 10 inches in diameter, with a unique, abstract pattern covering its surface. The figure is wrapped in layers of colorful stripes and swirls, creating a dynamic and textured appearance. The colors used are vibrant and varied, including blues, yellows, reds, and whites.
The sculpture is positioned on a two-tiered base, adding to its overall height and stability. The base itself is decorated with intricate patterns and colors that complement the figure’s design.
Celebration of Diversity
A striking, abstract figure that evokes a sense of dynamism and energy. The bold, colorful patchwork pattern and the figure’s pose create a sense of movement and vitality. The headless figure adds a touch of mystery and intrigue. A celebration of diversity: The colorful patchwork pattern could symbolize the diversity of human experience. The absence of a head suggests that our identities are not defined by our physical appearance. Size: 31 inches tall X 10.5 inches in diameter
Life and Love
A striking, abstract figure that evokes a sense of both strength and vulnerability. The bold blue color and the rough, textured surface create a dynamic contrast that draws the eye. The figure’s elongated form and the way it seems to emerge from the base suggest a sense of growth or transformation.
Specific Details:
Form: The figure is roughly humanoid, with a large, expressive head and a more abstract body. The body is composed of layered, textured forms that suggest a sense of depth and complexity.
Color: The dominant color is a vibrant blue, which is applied with a rough, textured brushstroke. This adds to the overall sense of energy and dynamism.
Texture: The surface of the sculpture is highly textured, with deep grooves and ridges. This adds to the tactile quality of the piece and emphasizes the sense of form and volume.
Base: The sculpture rests on a simple, circular base. The contrast between the smooth base and the rough texture of the figure creates a sense of tension and contrast. Size: 22.5 inches Tall X 10 inches in Diameter
