White Daisies photoziac 14x16x1
Daisies are a true sign of spring: A lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.
Sleeping Bear Beach photozaic 16x14x1
The Ashininaabek people used the Mother Bear as a landmark and tell the story about how she came to be there. Long ago, along the Wisconsin shoreline, a mother bear and her two cubs were driven into Lake Michigan by a raging forest fire. The bears swam for many hours, but soon the cubs tired. Mother bear reached the shore first and climbed to the top of a high bluff to watch and wait for her cubs. The cubs drowned within sight of the shore. The Great Spirit created two islands to mark the spot where the cubs disappeared and then created a solitary dune to represent the eternal vigil of a mother bear. These images reminded me of the gulf coast just minus the salty ocean air.
I watched as morning fog kissed the landscape, slowly burning off showing Lake Michigan’s beautiful teal-blue waters. While I was exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes, I had the story above playing around in my head; carefully documenting the landscape with both color and infrared cameras.
Continuing with Emily’s suggestions of going matte less here are a few more matted vs matte less works of art. Images Breakpoint at Racepoint and Pine Edged Road.

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.

Come check out my hybrid exhibition One last road trip leads to Sanctuary for the Soul. This Exhibition is a mix of my Photozaics framed art offered in color and infrared photographs images with a sprinkle of my black n white Infrared photos matted in black with simple black framing.
As we approach 1 million deaths from Covid in our country, we are all challenged with finding ways to process our grief. In 2019 I lost my father and decided to take his ashes on one last road trip. Or, at least, that was my plan, but I then decided to include him in every trip I’ve taken since. The photographs I am taking are my way of thanking him for giving me my eye for photography. Going on these road trips is a memorial to him in appreciation of the ever-changing landscapes. I went out into the world with an open but broken, heart looking to find peace in Mother Nature’s arms. I’ve found her to be a great place to recharge my soul in the past.
The viewer will be surrounded by nature photos with mosaics that will open them up to another plane of consciousness. The addition of mosaic frames will awaken your curiosity about what lies beyond the frame. Each viewer will have a different experience. This exhibition is a place for visitors to recharge their souls from daily stresses, sparking their senses and curiosity. As I create my photozaics I often lose myself in the process. The viewers of my work also find the details of the mosaic will draw them into the photo where they will find a sanctuary for their soul. I truly believe art heals the mind, body, and soul. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology discovered a definite correlation between participating in cultural activities, i.e. creating art, visiting art galleries, and attending concerts with increased rates of good health.
just a few samples of what I will have on exhibit.

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined. The only thing you can do is to breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step. Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender. Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me. I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes. All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks. Get out in nature and recharge your soul!
I headed to San Francisco for an art show and decided to give myself a few extras days to explore this great City by the Bay. As the fog lifted, I snapped photos of the various areas in the Marina District. When the fog burnt off, I walked the area again up a long hill to capture this photograph. Nature really makes all these colors work together.
