As an artist, my eyes see visual opportunities everywhere, some just for their natural beauty, others because they are so unique or odd. I am fascinated by nature....trees, oceans, clouds, rocks and the expression of human nature. I enjoy capturing the essence of a scene and seek to immortalize that moment when I click the shutter. Only then do I have an idea of where that "moment in time" will take me.

Using black and white infrared film and then hand-tinting the print using transparent oils, my photographs take on an ethereal, dreamy, otherworldly calm. The search for serenity is a growing aspect of our daily lives. My goal is to create art that enables individuals to find peace and serenity while viewing my photographs, whether at home, the workplace or public spaces.
