About Orange Watercolor:

The sunset silhouettes of the islands have been like no other I’ve seen on my travels, knowing you are in borderland country (Minnesota/Canada) when you visit the trees bouncing off the evening sky.  In my eyes each sunset is unique and unlike the previous day.  Colors from sunsets change just like the seasons.  Late summer sunsets have the deepest orange fading into twilight blue.

The favorite photograph you took in 2022

Favorite photo of 2022

Reflections of Fall, taken in Bolton, MA

Early in 2022, I was out with friends having dinner and I put my mirrored glasses down on the table and loved the reflected image.  That sparked the idea that I would do this on my travels and create a new collection of “Reflected” works.  The below image is filled with bright colors, shallow depth of field, and of course, no photographer reflected in the image.  This you must stand in just the right place to avoid “capture”, LOL.  I do most of my work in camera, so this has little editing down in Lightroom. 

Stay Tuned for more work to come…

My exhibition will be a combination of my collections Spirit of the land meets Sanctuary of the Soul. 

” Spirit of the Land” documented in infrared black and white photography.  They portray an otherworldly, surreal, almost dreamlike state that feels three-dimensional.  These images are matted and framed in simple black, and they blend nicely with my award-winning Photozaics from “Sanctuary from the soul “collection.  The inspiration came from Van Gogh’s textures meet Ansel Adam’s simplicity near the intersection of Bob Ross’ healing vibes. This technique is a labor-intensive multi step process and starts out with my journey into nature; recording the landscapes that I spark my eye may it be rolling hills, a babbling brook.  After modifying the composition, I take the print and head to the stained-glass shop to find matching colors.  I cut the glass by hand taking smaller shards, and placing them in a rock tumbler to remove sharp edges while larger pieces are sanded by hand and assemble the frame.  Grouting finishes the artwork allowing the detail of each cut glass shape adding the texture to my art.

Just a few examples you will see at this exhbition

Sanctuary for the Soul- Collection

In this collection, the works of art are Mixed media; a combination of my loves of photography and mosaics that I call photoziacs.  The artwork is available in various sizes, from 16×14 to 30×26 (long edge). These works of art change and exhibitions can be customized to fit the gallery’s space. They sell quickly so this is just an example of what I have to offer.
