I'd describe the main body of my artwork to be artistic photography. Most of my other work is abstract with the focus on geometric shapes and repeating patterns often taken from nature.
For my artistic photography, I take photographs in the street or in my studio and transform them according to what I see and how each one makes me feel. These enhancements go from the subtle to the extreme. The subjects of my photographic art include florals - especially close-ups of roses and other tropical flowers, destinations, portraits, and even some animal art.

While some works have a painterly look, the majority have accentuated lines and curves and many have deeper shadows and warm glows. Another common trend in my work is the manipulation of degrees of light and tone in angled groups or sections especially in the background of a piece. I trend toward using gray, pink, dark red,dusky blues and any shade of green I can find. Each work is carried out, without hurry, normally taking 1-4 hours of loving effort.
I'm inspired by nature and thoughts of hope and peace. A look, a smile, history, a ray of light against a petal, all these - and more - inspire me to create.
