Currents & Eddies
Galvanized Steel & Copper
Wall Hanging 20”H x 27”W x 6”D
2003
A favorite due to satisfaction of the outcome and it’s lyrical grace. Forging 1/4” Square Copper Rod into gracefulness is no small feat!

The Dance
Galvanized Steel, Copper Wire & Freshwater Pearls
Wall hanging 14”H x 11.5”W x 3.5”D
2016
Favorites are sometimes the last item completed until replaced by the next - The Baby of the moment. The challenge was working with limited materials and tools I had on hand while away from studio for two months.

Silent Spring
Acrylic on Paper
14.5”H x 8 7/8”W
2014
A favorite is a successful painting that almost occurs by magic and has conceptual content. The challenge was using the Golden Mean Ratio to develop the stratified areas.

Not Tonight Dear
Copper, Sterling & Boulder Opal
1”H X 3.5”W x 2”D
2003
Table Top Art Object with container/Pillbox and 3 Dimensional Puzzle of 6 pieces. Comment: A favorite because the execution was difficult but successful (hence the title) and truly an authentic Dovberg.

Confrontation
Acrylic on gallery wrapped Canvas
2’ x 2’ x 1.5”D
2012
Created for a One Woman Exhibit at TheREP theatre, Albany, NY during the production of David Mamet’s “Race”. The composition, color and emotional content works for me while at the same time fitting the occasion.

Dress Maker
Digital Photograph
Variable
December, 2015

Extremely skilled in her craft, this dress maker is wearing her own intricately patterned dyed blouse.

Hmong Village Woman With Vegetable
Digital Photograph
Variable
12/2015

I wanted to visit a Hmong village in Thailand, as hundreds of Hmong tribal people from Vietnam came as refugee farmers to Wisconsin (my home state) following the Vietnam war — they had supported South Vietnamese and US forces and would have been imprisoned or killed. Drawing on their traditional vegetable farming backgrounds from the uplands of SE Asia, they adapted well.

Toy Bamboo Cross Bow Maker
Digital Photograph
Variable
12/2015

Challenged to a dual by this villager, he proudly was able to center three shots into the face of a playing card at about 10 feet. I did not do as well!!

Milling Grain By Foot Power
Digital Photograph
Variable
12/2015

My favorites are often the most recent — but these images were also selected because of the individual serenity and friendliness of Thai village people. Because of the extreme differences in light and color variations in the background of her shelter, I was only able to salvage the portrait of this woman by converting the background to B/W, resulting in a most pleasing outcome. Clearly, my favorite!

Thai Farmer

A Thai villager wearing his traditional garb.

The beautiful bluebells that bloom every year at Riverbend Park are always a treat for the senses and mean Spring has really arrived.

Buckets of Blossoms
Watercolor

A visit to Pike Place Market in Seattle was the inspiration for this painting. Prints and notecards of this image are available.
