“If a little dreaming is dangerous,
the cure for it is not to dream less
but to dream more --
to dream all the time!"
~ Marcel Proust (1871-1922)
Combining my love of photography with a passion for computer technology was like suddenly realizing I could fly!
My early efforts were in Photographic Art (photo-manipulation), as I learned to digitally enhance and alter my original photographs to create new and exciting images. Experimentation with various other types of digital work - fractals and other contemporary genres - quickly followed.

Using hi-tech hardware and progressive software techniques, I create images in a variety of formats and sizes, which are ultimately printed on paper, canvas, metal, textiles, and other specialty materials.
My portfolio ranges from photo-based landscapes, florals, and architectural pieces, to purely digital abstracts and kaleidoscopic images. Vivid color (sometimes, carefully considered black and white), bold shapes, visual texture, and an endless supply of imagination assist in telling my two-dimensional stories.
Much of my work is born from insomnia; chronic sleeplessness offers both time and inspiration for creating unique dreamscapes, which are even more satisfying in the bright light of day.
In dialogue with the viewer, my art readily shares a lifetime of experiences, ideas, dreams, and emotions.
