ARTIST INFORMATION		CONTACT INFORMATION
Making photographs brings imagination, light, nature, time and space together with a transcendence to reality for me. 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. Photography provides me an expressive channel that transcends language. 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, photographic, color pigment prints. Working exclusively in natural light, I emphasize surreal landscapes and closeups, engaging the emotions evoked by the natural realm, especially the mystery or magical essence of light-play in the world. My images originate using 35MM and 4x5 color transparency film scanned at high resolution, and high resolution digital cameras to match the natural image for direct color printing. Using archival color pigment digital printing techniques and materials, I create luminous prints with full color and tonal depth on acid free, 100% cotton fiber, fine art paper. This allows me to create individual, finished prints as faithful to the natural image as possible and of heirloom quality, in signed and numbered editions. Finishing each print includes 8 ply museum matte and solid natural cherry framing. Using the print as a record of growth and a means of sharing, I pursue greater connection with my medium and how light graces each subject. The advent of digital print making enables a level of control and quality long exclusive to black and white darkroom prints. I find digital color pigment prints increasingly satisfying with truly archival quality, luminescence, accurate color quality, and full tonal depth. Fulfilling my goal of sharing the results of photographic imagery remains my 40 year passion through fine color archival prints.
