ARTIST INFORMATION		CONTACT INFORMATION
Making photographs brings imagination, light, nature, time and space together with a transcendence to reality for me. I make ethereally beautiful natural images depicting the nether realm between reality and obscure reality. My images rarely refer to a specific location. They may point to places both distant, and nearby, all the while reaching to engage the viewer more with aesthetic essence than drama. I seek not only to capture the physical realm, but go beyond to expressive interpretation. Working exclusively in natural light, I emphasize natural surrealism while engaging the emotions evoked by the natural realm, especially the mystery or magical essence of light-play in the world. My pictures emerge through imagination and experience with the interaction between light and subject supported by a keen interest in natural history. I personally make all of my photographs and create individual, archival color pigment prints. Finishing my work includes museum mattes and solid natural hardwood frames.
