“Color Wheels” is a woman’s collective of six artists, which exhibited in 2025 at Callisto Farm in Highlnd Falls, NY as part of Upstate Art Weekend in 2025.
In this series of sculptures, layers of varied surfaces have shapes which harmonize with their colors to create complex geometric compositions. When unlit, the artworks stand as complete designs. When illuminated, colored backlighting changes and energizes the surfaces behind them, while various shapes, colors, and sizes of LEDs are visibly embedded in them. They are transformed into completely different, glowing constructions
SPRITES 5, 8, and 10
Double Diamond has two different configurations of diamonds made with layers of light, mounted onto strips connecting them. They beam onto reflective materials, creating a glowing frieze whose light radiates outward. The location in the beams imbued the viewer with a sense of surprise and wonder, transforming the heavy, permanent materials of an architectural element into the lightest, most ephemeral form possible.
At Callisto Farms Double Diamond custom-fitted to the width of the doorway, 124” wide. It was originally shown at Odetta Gallery, where it had more elements that were tucked into the structural beams over its plate glass window.

Triangulation and Elevation
Two sculptures from the Prism Series, which consists of tabletop sculptures that challenge the idea of monumentality. They range in height from 12.5 to 26 inches, yet are perceived as huge. Light is volume without mass: in contrast to large, solid sculpture, which may be confrontational, you can move through the space it inhabits.
In this series I use prism rods, LEDs, road sign material and paint to make sculptures that are beautiful whether their lights are on or off. Yellow and white LEDs are hand-soldered into clear corner rods, and aimed into aluminum corners thus multiplying their reflections; prism rods were placed in front of them, blending their colors for a jewel-like effect. In between them are panels coated with white reflective road sign material, whose tiny beads catch the light from many different angles for a magical glow. Color is palpable, almost tactile. The entire effect plays with the viewer’s depth perception, and thus the perception of the sculpture’s size itself. It plays on your emotions, and takes you into a different, metaphysical world.
