About

After spending most of my career in  corporate advertising departments, I now pursue my own artistic work in photography, painting and gourds.

Combining my interest gardening with photography, I capture many of my floral subjects from my own garden. The beauty of flowers doesn’t last long in nature, but captured by the camera, they will last forever! Many of my photographs capture the beauty of flowers as they appear naturally, however I also enjoy modifying images through various artistic software programs to create digital artwork from the photographs.

 I have begun combining images to create artwork. I am inspired by Swedish artist Erik Johansson.  These digital compositions take 3 to 5 or more separate images to create a completely new image. It’s difficult to identify the individual components in the final work. 

I  am also exploring more painting, mostly oil.  And using gourds to create bowls using mostly natural material.

People often have a misconception that photographers take a picture and that is the totality of work on an image. While selecting settings on the camera and composition are very important, many photographs are not quite presentable right from the camera. Artists will edit a photo to minimize things they don’t like, and maximize what they want to emphasis in an image.  This can be subtle edits that the viewer doesn’t even realize to extreme edits where it’s clear work has been done.

Below is just one example of editing to create a different feel to an image.
