About

My art background is rooted in oil and acrylic paints, pencils, pen-and-ink, metalworking and various other mixed media. While I dabbled in film photography early on, I didn’t develop a passion for it until I acquired my first digital camera in 2000. With digital, a new world opened up to me. This new doorway for expression, the ability to capture hundreds of images without the expense of film and the ability to instantly view the images I captured helped me to experiment with different photography techniques.

Combining photography with digital art and 3D models further allows me to transform my inner ideas and imaginings–sometimes ominous or offbeat–into visual metaphors using light, textures, shapes, object relationships and colors. Creating 3D models and textures allows me to collaborate and share components of my artwork for other digital artists to use in their own work.

Nature and life forces feature prominently in my work. I have a fascination with abstract design and endeavor to capture the underlying beauty in the mundane–where the parts of objects are, to me, sometimes more interesting than the whole.
