I will be on the 3rd floor with many other artists selling my Art.

I create multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you.  Creating art helps me connect with you, exhibiting my ability to make you feel like you are there with me. They inspire your desire to touch my art, so you can view and feel it at the same time.  My surroundings play a big role in my photography story.  When I’m out in nature with my camera, it’s through texture, lines, colors, etc., that I get my inspiration.  I primarily use color images to capture the vibrancy of Mother Nature’s glory, but when the mood and setting are just right, I will photograph in infrared.  This style of photography brings another worldly look, almost a dreamlike state that has a 3D effect.

My photozaics are a perfect mixture of Van Gogh meets Ansel Adams and Bob Ross.  My technique is a labor-intensive process and starts out with my journey into nature; capturing the images that I will make into a photozaic.  With print in hand, I head to the local stain glass store, making sure to color match glass to the image.  All glass cutting is done by hand, smaller pieces are tumbled with larger pieces and sanded by hand before assembling into the finished work. 

Come on out and see what new works of art I have and along with that I’m selling infrared matted prints and offering them in simple elegant black frames, and photo cards.

Seeds Planted and Red Farm landscaped in Corn.

My perspective on Nourish:

Seed Planted: Planting seeds and nurturing them, making sure that they grow, is the key to nourishment of one’s mind, body, and soul. 

Red Farm landscaped in Corn:  As you can see, nurturing and caring for your seeds will ensure that they provide you with nourishment.

It is a creative process; we must first plant the seeds and nurture them along the way to ensure their full growth, as they will in turn provide us with nourishment, which is essential not just for survival but for success.
