      My photography-based art starts with using light as my paint brush, creating black and
white images on silver gelatin photographic paper, then applying transparent oil colors
and colored pencils to express more of the exuberance and vitality of the world I see.

Often I use infrared film as a window into an unexplored, dreamlike world... a world
dangling just beyond view.

Combining a passion for adventure and simple pleasures with the wonder of those
early days of discovery... a walk in the woods or just sitting on a rock by the pond... all
of my senses alive with the awesome beauty of nature... bringing to me an
indescribable peace... moss covered fallen trees... irridescent dragonflies skimming
the pond... small swirling eddies... light filtering through any array of color-filled leaves...
feeling very much a part of "something" that extends beyond my separate self...
I hope to communicate to the viewer my experience of both the small and expansive
landscapes of our world... the magical paradise exisiting everywhere.
