The image is shown in two vertical panels on a beige background. The left panel is much narrower than the right panel. E Platypus Unum by Kathy Tupper – A vertically oriented image in very bold colors shows a seahorse hanging by its tail, a gecko, an anemone with a peace symbol at its center, a spoonbill snagging a striped fish from a pond, a butterfly, a platypus, a peacock, and a scaled creature with a triangular head and webbed feet. Entwined with the images are plants that evoke a cattail and a jack-in-the-pulpit. Red is the Color by Kathy Tupper – The image appears to show a composite work of paper materials. The background is green, narrow ridges. Three horizontal panels are made of cutout paper images with pink, orange, yellow, and blue borders feature flower and leaf motives. In the very center of the image, green handwritten text on a white background reads: “Red is the color of the wine we drink at the party you make in my heart.” The Snail and the Mare by Kathy Tupper – Bright colors and white form a large swirl on this horizontal work. Within the swirling colors, small, dark lines create shapes that evoke irregular puzzle pieces or the borders of hundreds of tiny countries. Blooming Bananas by Kathy Tupper – A bold, tropical work evokes bright green fronds, clusters of green bananas, and a long, brown, ridged stalk with a large magenta and purple flower at its tip. Mindscape 702708 by Kathy Tupper – A horizontal, abstract image features blurred, elongated patches of varying blues and greens, with touches of red and orange. Thinner, elongated patches of white splash across the top half of the painting. Burlesque by Kathy Tupper – An intricate, vertical work features fine lines forming a patchwork of tiny, irregular shapes across the canvas. The tiny shapes are filled in with a range of bright colors – reds, yellows, and oranges grouped together, blues and greens grouped together, and some more neutral shades in between. The Red Cliff by Kathy Tupper – A vertical canvas features a brightly colored image that evokes mountains by a seashore, with blues and greens dissected by intersecting white lines below, and oranges, blues and purples in the shape of a shore and mountains, also dissected by intersection white lines. Above the mountains, blues and purples evoke a sky and clouds. She Shines by Kathy Tupper – A detailed black-and-white pencil sketch shows an older, Black woman from the waist up, relaxed, smiling with her mouth closed, her arm resting along the back of a bench. She is wearing a brimmed hat with a ribbon, hoop earrings, a beaded necklace, a bracelet, and a long-sleeved jacket or sweater. There are smile lines around her mischievous eyes and her sideways smile. Handwritten text around the border of the image reads, “She’s seen it. She’s done it. Mired down deep in the pit of it, she fought it and worked it. She came up fresh on the top of it. She knows it. Eyes proud show it – sassy with the grit of it. What she is, she made from it. Above the all of it – She Shines – ‘A Song for Annie C.’” Trill by Kathy Tupper – A bold and bright image shows an enlarged image of a white flower with long, sinuous filaments made of many, tiny dots. The background has curving lines of green forming a kind of disappearing path, with patterned blue on either side.
