ARTIST STATEMENT

PHOTOGRAPHY. A visual experience that reaches beyond the realm of traditional photography. The work encompasses a broad subject matter and visual spectrum. The work is about noticing what people miss in their daily travels. Then using the lens to discover the image so your eyes and mind see another perspective.

CONTEMPORARY ART. Photography is the base-medium for three unique styles: Kaleidoscopography, The Zurich Collection and Natural Patterns. These use the image’s natural tones and hues to create an energy that is attractive to both the mind and spirit. The work reaffirms that color and imagery can capture your interest without being based upon a medium that is computer generated. The work has produced several design studies and collections.

Kaleidoscopography produces vibrant patterns that are rich with the original image’s color, hues and tonal properties. The work changes your visual experience when you adjust your distance and angle. The work has created stunning collections, textiles and patterns.

The Zurich Collection pushes the design envelope and color palette to create elegance, power and energy. By deft manipulation of color and image elements, the works in the collection encourage reflection, peace, passion, prosperity and inspiration.

Natural Patterns use two techniques, extractions and textures to challenge your perspective.

WRITING. A published writer, he has contributed newspaper and business articles and written vignettes. But since 2002, his voice has found its calling in prose. His first work, Selected Works from Reconnecting With Life uses prose to reevaluate his journey and life’s direction. This is a collection of five volumes: Private Reflections, Personal Observation, Social Commentary, Romantic Interludes and Compassion and Empathy. Though each has the strength to stand on its own, each volume shares a common thread.

QUOTE. My belief is that perfection lies in finding imperfection.
