Biography

I look for a unique view that defines the beauty, colors, rhythms and character of what my mind interprets from what my eyes see and then capture and portray it. I find and show the obvious as well as hidden beauty in my surroundings. My art is only one genre; the beauty I see all around: birds, flowers, architecture, nature, industrial equipment and a wide range of other items. I find an aspect of a structure that exhibits a distinctive characteristic; especially when it has been seen many times before in a more standard way. I photograph some component or view that might not be apparent when one doesn’t separate the detail from the larger structure. The camera’s images are starting points that I transform into meaningful, expressive images; sometimes just the structure or geometric pattern and other times the combination of colors and shapes. Many times an image of detail provides a better appreciation of the whole structure that is not visible, yet is filled in by our mind. I find a part of the bird, flower, equipment or building that I can preserve in an image that may not be appreciated or even survive in its current surroundings. Frequently, the image is a close-up where a depiction of the detail provides a better appreciation of the unseen full structure. When I see what one might consider common, I seek a distinctive view. In summary, I convey the ineffable, transitory nature of beauty by capturing a fleeting mental view and converting it into a lasting image that incorporates the beauty I experience.
