Bio / Resumee / Statement:
My life-long passion for photography began the moment I picked up my parents Brownie camera. Since that time, I have built a career as a professional photographer specializing in 35mm and medium format landscape and figurative imagery. In addition to my native Michigan, I have lived in five states, including Texas, New Jersey, and Virginia, before moving to Florida in 1996.
Inspired by the density and drama of the Florida landscape, I began to work primarily in black & white, and black & white infrared film, as a way to capture the myriad textures and details found in the overwhelmingly verdant landscape. Unlike color, I believe that black & white more dramatically reveals the combination of light, heat, and shadows found in the already mystical landscape. In my own words, I seek to instill “a sense of awe of the natural environment and the feeling of serenity we have when we allow ourselves to truly experience the beauty of nature”.
My images make you take careful observation of the subject matter. The subtle beauty captivates your senses. You can almost feel the suns rays playing through the trees, hear the harmonic chorus of morning insects, and experience the smell of moistened earth and dew on the rich foliage. As a natural extension of the love of nature, I have progressed into creating Fine Art Nudes. My work continues to evolve, ever experimenting and expanding my work and style.
My work has been presented throughout the state of Florida. I have received numerous awards, including the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship for Visual and Media Artists(2004). I also served as President of the Lighthouse Gallery Camera Club from 1999-2002.
