About Us

By nature, I am a fairly straightforward, concrete thinker – not given to metaphysical or convoluted (tortured?) artspeak when examining why I do what I do as an artist and photographer. I am also, by nature, given to taking a childlike pleasure in the world around me. Thus it is always my inclination to play with images, just for the fun of it, to move them away from the strictly “realistic” to varying levels of abstraction. The advent of the digital medium as I reached retirement age opened up a whole new realm of exploration. For me, it has provided the tools to better communicate what I saw in my mind. Digital capture has enabled me to work a subject more freely and fully. I can also revisit earlier work through digital scans, getting a second byte of the Apple, so to speak, and discovering new images inside the old. If my images manage to convey some of the pleasure I experienced in their creation, I consider them successful. I look forward to placing my ''children'' on your walls so you can share my pleasure.
