Self Portrait-2004

Artist Statement

The aim of much of my work is to present exotic, surreal imagery coaxed from historical context.

My art is designed to stimulate your imagination, to inspire a closer look and deeper contemplation. I want you to experience a distinctly personal response as you peer into a time portal. Using night photography techniques such as painting with light and time lapse, and infrared photography I feel that I capture the subject's true essence.

One of my passions is night photography, few photographers dare to venture out into this uncharted relm shouded in darkness capturing images that can only be seen in the camera eye.

Through my art, I feel connected to the world around me and to the past, giving sense of purpose for my life. I believe that my images will inspire imaginations for generations to come.

The finished artworks are compiled into thematic collections and sold as individual pieces and coordinated sets to provide flexibility for decorating modern living spaces.
