My work focuses on Landscapes, Nature, Abstracts, and Fine Art. Most of my work has been with traditional photography. Recently, I’ve become interested in digital design and constructed images using both photography and AI.
I date my interest in photography to the gift of a small camera (an early Kodak box camera) from my grandmother many years ago. Today, after retiring from a career in education, my enthusiasm for creating and viewing fine-art photography is as strong as ever. I am mostly self-taught; I’ve benefitted from several highly valued teachers and mentors, most recently Elise Shapiro at the Silvermine School of Art, and much earlier Howe Derbyshire of Port Clyde, Maine. Once a Nikon user, I’m now a dedicated user of Fuji cameras. My work is focused mostly on elements of nature, but my interests are sufficiently broad that the occasional cityscape or architectural image shows up.
I work to create works meant to be seen. I hope they elicit an emotional reaction, be it admiration, questioning, joy, concern, pleasure, or some other kind of engagement. I consider a work of art to be the subject of a continual conversation between artist and viewer.
