Artist Statement

In 2010, I retired from careers and a life that was an amalgam of technology, business and sports and began the journey into the creative world. My artistic journey is moving from capturing images to creating images that express what I experience in the natural world. Today, I travel to places that interest me including spectacular landscapes, quiet and peaceful nature subjects and the wildest of wildlife that few people will ever really experience. In a transient world, I hope my prints tell a lasting story that speaks to you. My artistic journey continues to develop through exploration, image competition, education and involvement in communities of talented artists.

I capture images in the field. Then, begin the creation of finished images utilizing a variety of digital image processing that is sometimes significant to express what I experienced. In some cases I digitally paint an image and add acrylic brush strokes and highlights to achieve my final image. Matching an image with the best media, fine art paper or canvas produces finished prints that express my experience.
