A porcelain clown dressed in red and yellow with a delicate white face, red lips and dark eyes poses next to a pumpkin, a gold bucket of radishes, a potted plant with big white leaves, two cobs of multi-colored corn and three eggs. The surface is covered with a freely arranged sheet with triangular multicolored pattern - pink, white and dark purple. The background has two mirrors that reflect the back of the objects. One of the mirros has an elaborate wooden frame depicting flowers on its edges.

Clownish Reflection

1981 Oil on Canvas 22" x 34"

I vaguely remember my mother having the colored corn at home to paint this, though I’m not sure about the other objects. This work combines her interest in simple, geometric textiles and clown dolls, as seen in other works.

A woman with long, dark, wavy hair sits at a table holding a cloth. The woman's dress, the cloth and the background wallpaper are all very ornate and colorful. A thin vase on the table holds a few branches completely devoid of leaves or flowers.

Seamstress

1980 Watercolor. 30" x 20"

A vase containing flowers, with gentle whites contrasted by deep oranges, reds and the dark green of the leaves.

Floral Desires

1980 Acrylic on Canvas 24" x 30"

Two versions of the artist with different hair and eye colors. Between and behind them there are multicolored curved stalks and something like a castle in the background

My Other Self

1978 Oil on Canvas 16" x 20"

Two women in ornate headpieces and jewelry. A colorful burd sits in front of them. The women are only visible from the chest up and they blend together with tendrils, flowers and abstract patterns to create a larger pattern.

Las Majas Indias

1978 Watercolor. 14" x 11"

A large bee flies among pastel-colored flowers set against a whitish background into which the leaves seem to fade, as if it were fog.

Happy Day

1977 Oil on Canvas. 32" x 35"

Resurrection

1976 Oil on Canvas. 36" x 36"

The artist’s faith as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses is a clear inspiration for this work. The style resembles her other works from the same decade, such as My Other Self and Paradise Life.

Paradise Life

1971 Scratchboard under Glass 27" x 21"

The artist’s faith as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses is a clear inspiration for this work. Despite the change of medium from her usual Oil on Canvas, the style resembles her other works from the same decade, such as My Other Self and Resurrection.
