Artist Statement

I would describe my work to date as straightforward in subject matter and approach, while being both simplistic and honest. I tend to Isolate and elevate a single subject in a portrayal of classical or romantic beauty. The effort is to invite the viewer to look longer, deeper and just maybe gain a glimpse of some cosmic truth.

Biography

I am a 68 year old self-taught emerging artist. I know "68 and emerging" can appear incongruent to many but, this is where I find myself. After a successful bout with cancer, being hit hard with Long Covid and witnessing too much recent civil and political strife I left a 40+ career at 66 in pursuit of a more meaningful path. My exposure to photography, as art, in the late 70's impacted me greatly. I had attempted to pursue the art in my early 20's but life got in the way. I promised myself that I would return to if the opportunity ever presented itself. So here I am.
