My Fine Art Photography incorporates work from a variety of areas. Main concentrations include gardens through the seasons, France and other European destinations, and a sampling of scientific specimens. This work is on going, with the individual concentrations continually evolving. As such, new images are constantly being produced.

My photograms convey the essence of their subjects through opacity, transparency and translucence. Rather than providing an exact representation of the subject matter, I focus on isolation and beauty in the curve of a line, the shift of a grade and the composition of the form.  In the tradition of Surrealism and Constructivism, photograms dispel illusions and change linear context. Man Ray’s cameraless Rayographs combined seemingly unrelated objects in both random and arranged compositions. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, also working at the time, experimented with photograms of isolated forms. Both artists sought to explore the “pure” actions of light.
