Juried into this dynamic exhibition by Joshua Ruff, Co-Director of the Long Island Museum of Art, is my oil painting, Phantasm – Coral Peony.

“Phantasm – Coral Sunset Peony”, a 36×36″ oil painting, is a vivid celebration of life’s vibrant energy inspired by the peonies that enchant my garden. Imagine a dynamic dance of colors—pink, yellow, and orange petals that swirl with a captivating grace, all harmoniously converging towards a lively green center. The energy in the petals encircling the center of the flower also represents the feeling humans have when they are moved by emotions. This piece is about celebrating movement and color, capturing the very essence of a flower in full bloom. It invites you to step into a world where every brushstroke is infused with the joy and wonder of nature’s beauty. I hope it inspires a moment of reflection and connection to the natural vibrancy all around us.

“Unstoppable,” is an oil painting that boldly challenges forces that undermine democratic values and silence marginalized communities fighting for equality.

Across Ahern’s over 50-year career in business and the arts, she has fought against the systematic subjugation of women’s voices and independence, refusing to accept the institutional barriers designed to limit women’s power and self-determination.

My New World – Anemone Redux

36×36″ Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This oil painting creates a compelling fusion between earthly botany and cosmic wonder. The central anemone bursts from the canvas with the energy of a solar flare, its petals curling like waves of stellar energy. The deep purple and magenta palette bridges the gap between garden blooms and nebulae, while the flower’s center resembles a dark cosmic body surrounded by scattered stardust.

The background’s atmospheric swirls blur the boundary between floral study and space art. This deliberate ambiguity invites viewers to contemplate the connections between microscopic and macroscopic natural forms, suggesting that the patterns of nature repeat themselves from the smallest garden flower to the largest galactic structures.
