Price $499.00

Crissy Beach

Sometimes you just need to surrender to the scene and get pulled into the wonders it has to offer your senses.  That is what happened to me when I came upon this boardwalk while walking the beaches in San Francisco’s Marina District.  The boardwalk pulls me to the water and my eyes circle around the remnants of old docks, Sausalito, and Alcatraz off in the distance.  I can still smell the salty sea air and hear the foghorn sounding off warning ships of the bridge when I look at this photo.

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.

Skeleton Rafters- 16×20 simple black matt and frame

Rafter Skeletons
Skeleton Rafters

As the wood rafters decay, they provide a source of life for future plants to grow on.  Mother Nature has been working hard to eliminate the man-made structure but it’s not going down without a fight.  Awe-inspiring to see nature reclaiming Her space that humans abandoned a long time ago.   My eye immediately caught sight of the lime green moss, but when I approached to get a closer look, I was surprised that the nails were still intact, standing the test of time.

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.

Pallet Mountain- IMAGE

My soul was itching to get out and wonder; but instead of looking to the natural landscape, a nudge from the universe to photograph industrial landscapes.  I Waited to bring attention to human consumption and waste of our natural resources.  What is man trying to do here?  Create a mountain for the gods of trash?  Paying respect to Mother Nature trying to recycle what was taken from her?  What do you see?

image selected- Campering Life

Campering life is to be out in nature recharging your soul appreciating the simple pleasures that life gives you.  Make sure the paths you take in life have dirt, grass, rocks, and mud.    The quote below speaks to me.  Now I see the secret of making the best person, it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. By Walt Whitman.
