MY STORY, MY PASSION
I produce boisterous photo art pieces for residential and corporate spaces.
​
I am a self-taught photographer now based in Paris, France by way of Tampa, Florida, and for
most of my adult life I've had a camera in my hands. Through the years, I produced a wide
variety of photographic products and art, from souvenir photography for visitors to theme
parks to my current passion for "paintbrush-style" digitally-rendered photo art.
About 25 years ago, I transitioned from film to digital photography and in combination with
my computer-based image editing skills, developed an artistic approach that translates to
what was originally a straight-forward photographic image into something that appears more like an abstract oil painting. My finished work is displayed as a Giclée print, which is presented on either an archival paper, canvas or other, more exotic substrates.
I’ve been inspired by some of the famed Precisionist artists such as Georgia O' Keeffe, Ralston Crawford and Charles Sheeler, and have been complimented by clients and critics for a keen eye for form and a masterful command of color. I apply imaginative digital techniques to my original photographs to create dynamic and distinctive images that push reality to an extreme.
My artistic passion is to improvise unique original images by mobilizing bright, saturated, brilliant, vivid color. No weak-kneed or serene pastels for me. The bigger, bolder and brighter the colors, the better. My intent is to not only grab your attention with my artwork, but to pull you into the image and create a significant emotional connection. I want you to either love it or hate it – no equivocation allowed - depending on your tolerance for radical sensory stimulation. I love to stretch the subject matter to its conceptual limits and radically enhance its color, yet not lose its authentic essence. My art is to be boisterous, disruptive and confident.
I want you to love it.
As I progress in my creative and artistic endeavors, I have been successfully building recognition for my work among collectors and critics, and am honored to have my work in a number of private collections.
