I’m blessed to be one of the visiting artists for the 2024 Art Crawl at Schmidt Artists Lofts.  So much talent is located in this historic Brewery!   I will be in the atrium and will be demonstrating my commando photozaics showing my process.  Along with my photozaics both Commando and Formal, I will have canvas-wrapped infrared photos.  I will have matted prints in color and IR in various sizes (these are 50% off). I am introducing my dragonfly ornaments made from wire and various stones that help with, negative energy, prosperity, grounding, and protection!

Samples of my works for this show!

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.
