Photography/digital art are my artistic expressions – they give my imagination, vision and inquisitive mind visual life. I explore abstracts or concepts all created from my photographs or digital art in addition to more traditional images.
I strive to balance life. I attempt to give people a breather from the stress of today’s world.
I see the world with all its wonders, big and small and then I put my take on it, that’s my gift – a moment to create whatever the image calls up in you. My mind is full of images, they just have to come out.
I love to photograph the world with all its wonders and creations, big and small, that simply make me stop and look, or think, or smile, or feel – that’s my art.
My art is in private collections around the world and I have been a multiple medalist in international competitions including the International Salon of Photography (ISP).
