In this painting, toilet paper is wrapped around what looks like a head and floating on a yellow background.
A dried rose on the side makes it look fashionable but signifies the passage of time. The time seems long but the mood is playful and joyful. In this new pandemic world , we are no longer able to see one another but people can still find joy in this new normal.
My painting talks about finding the silver lining in all of this. My experience during this Coronavirus pandemic has been to keep a positive attitude by trying to continue getting groomed in the morning , having a routine, and taking advantage of this shutdown, in terms of more sleep, more homecooked meals , more exercise etc...
Feminist Portrait with Bra Appliqué

$255. per Bra
How to be a “Dada Darling”: The future of NYC Parties and Gallery Receptions:
These intricate leather bras reflect my feelings of uncertainty during the time of quarantine. I spend a lot of time thinking about what will happen when we emerge from our lockdown…I expect there to be some social awkwardness as a result of so much social distancing. The very idea of going to a party seems surreal and absurd.
I began this lingerie series at the beginning of 2020 – the original incarnation were ink drawings on paper embellished with pink and gold pigments. In March I began creating brassiere appliqués: painting ornate designs directly onto vinyl and faux leather. I sewed my first brassiere appliqué to a black turtleneck sweater, which I had hoped to wear to the opening reception of the “Herstory” show at Viridian. Sadly, NYC lockdown began the day after we installed the show and the opening reception was cancelled.
The 15 bras that I have designed during quarantine are inspired by the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and her experimental style. For now the bras hang from clothespins in my studio as an installation piece. My hope is to have a post-apocalyptic Dada Bra party, some day when the lockdown ends and we can be light again.

Emergence
Gradually or explosively, life is always becoming. Out of the surrounding
darkness appears a shape or a light, at once sinister and innocent, wild and contained,
dream-like and real. Awareness of the void serves to delimit, to define sharply
the moment of emergence. At such a moment we feel joy and terror. We are
on the edge of being.

This work questions our throwaway culture and examines the heavy cost of making technological progress too quickly. As we continue to make new "things," other items become obsolete and then trash.

He employs found objects and recycled paint into an assemblage that appears simple, yet is complicated! Solving the mystery and unpredictability of the work is his motivation! Evoking a reaction by the viewer is his reward! "Less is more and composition is everything!" The simplicity his work is apparent, yet it is an illusion, they have become dream journals!

$3000.
This broken Coke bottle collage is built of pieces of the everyday world, non-art materials: things we wouldn’t look at for meaning, esthetic or otherwise, things we would rather not see, but as archaeologists learn of a culture by its garbage, so this collage is evidence of our society through detritus showing developments which can be seen as results of events in time, transforming time into space, material into metaphor

“Reincarnation 1”
20"x 10"x 12", Plastic bags and plastic packing bubbles

First recorded in the mid 19th century, reincarnation refers to a new embodiment. In this work plastic bags and plastic packing bubbles come back as a new superbug, to haunt us eternally. And this larger than life plastic roach-hopper-fly can do just that. It's more than creepy. As our plastic problem evolves, it will not go away without serious superhuman action.

“We have to behave as if everything we do matters”
Gloria Steinem
Chelsea NY: Viridian Artists is pleased to present an exhibition of outstanding art about women. The show extends from March 17- April 18, 2020.
“Herstory”, the word, came into prominence in the early 70’s when second wave feminists began to fight back regarding the male dominated culture of planet Earth. At that time, to get a credit card or take out a loan a woman would have to bring a man to co-sign. Some credit cards still charge women a higher interest rate.
Not until the1930’s could women choose professions such as law, but then even with a degree, most could not get a job as a lawyer. Not even Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
During World War Two Rosie the Riveter came into prominence because the men were at war and women had to go out into the work world. But in the 50’s more traditional roles returned for women and wives, bringing them back into housework and motherhood while men went out to work and to “bring home the bacon”. The marriage rate increased, the baby boom brought more then 76 million births and the divorce rate decreased.
In the 60’s though, we women became bored, went back to work and The Pill came into being. But still, even Betty Friedan’s Feminist Mystique and the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) couldn’t give us the equality we demanded though many of us began to reclaim our names rather than carry on with that of our husband.
As recently as 2019 women made but 79 cents in comparison to man’s dollar earned though in 1963, JFK instituted the Equal Pay Act. According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research it will be another 40 years before women make as much as men and even longer for women of color.
The gender wage gap is not the only way in which women are still undergoing discrimination. Of more than 5000 public statues in existence in the US, only 200 are of women. During most of history including the 20th century, married women have been the property of their husband with no right to own property or borrow money without their husband co-signing. It wasn’t until 1965 in France that women were given the right to work without their husband’s consent.
It’s interesting that women had far more legal rights in early Egypt & Rome than we did in the 20th century. They could represent themselves in court, own property, free slaves and sue. We can now work the jobs we want, but we also must still often carry the primary burden of the home. The Guerrilla Girls say that at the Met, less than 4% of the artists are women, but 76% of the nudes are female. Pussy Riot faced a 7 year prison sentence for their punk performance at a Russian church, and a woman is yet to become President. So, to honor women, we again resurrect “Herstory”.
Due to the COVID19 pandemic our gallery is currently closed. “Herstory” is a virtual show that can be viewed on our website. Please click here to view the works in this show.

“It Comes and Goes in Waves”
10 ½ x 13 ½ inches; Acrylic and ink and paper on canvas
$650.
“It Comes and Goes in Waves” depicts the struggles and stigmas of mental health that women are subjected to but forced to repress so they don’t “appear weak” or “too emotional”. Samantha has intertwined parts of her personal journal to the contour of her waterscape and the inner essence of the stylized odalisque. Repressing emotions exacerbates an emotional drowning sensation and only intensifies anxieties. Once one faces these emotions head on they will be able to process and grow. “
