Photozaic Commando series
How can I construct an image that moves beyond the surface? Photozaics, of course! My award-winning Photozaics are inspired where Van Gogh’s textures meet Ansel Adam’s simplicity near the intersection of Bob Ross’ healing vibes. This series I call commando as for me its liberating to see the photo dancing in sync with the frame.
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…

Wishes or Weeds? Matted in black with simple satin black metal frame 16x20x1
This image reminds me of my childhood and every time I saw a Dandelion, I would pick it and make a wish. So, in this image, I see wishes and choose to hold on to my innocent belief that they are not weeds but wishes delivered to the Universe via a simple breeze. Next time you see a Dandelion, stop, pick it, and make your wish! Only true believers will see their wishes materialize! Today I wish for peace and equality for all.
I’ve been busy in the studio creating more photozaics, some are as new as my recent trip to Michigan earlier this summer. I love traveling to new places and note to all you New Englanders, I’m heading your way on October 8th and will spend the month of October in your area. I can’t wait to see what New England offers an Artist… Stay tuned.
Also Gallery owners in New England area, I will have samples of my photozaics to view in person please reach out to me at nmcguirestudio@gmail.com to set up a time for personal viewing.
