More expressionistic collage than photographic evidence, my assembled images are rich and painterly in tone and process. Digitally draping found objects and scenes in complex textures and colors, a metamorphosis occurs as the finished creations reveal my core emotional reaction to my subject matter. The images are like a photographic reduction sauce, with distractions boiled away until what remains is a more pure representation of the image I saw in my mind.  I have had a long rewarding career as a leading commercial advertising photographer in Seattle that has transitioned to an award winning fine art photographer with collectors far and wide. My hope is that you find some artwork on this website that speaks to you in a meaningful way.

Inspiration

I'm inspired by everything that surrounds me but my artistic inspiration is fed by painters such as Andrew Wyeth, the Hudson Valley painters, and Edward Hopper among others, who produce impressionistic emotional representations of their subjects.

Techniques

I'm often asked what subject matter I specialize in to which I answer: "anything that interests me"! Beginning with an idea and an image, I digitally composite multiple images together, often with textural overlays, until the results speak most purely of my emotional attachment to the subject.
