Artist Statement:

BODY OF WORK:

“WHAT LIGHT DOES WHEN NOBODY’S LOOKING”

While traveling through my world, I often come upon naturally occurring visuals, where the subject of the image is not a person or object, but the Light itself or its reflection, or in the case of Shadows, the absence of Light.

Over the last few years, I have begun to create images that show others things light does “when nobody’s looking,” or scenes that we pass in our everyday lives, but may fail to appreciate.  My goal is to bring those images to the consciousness of my audience.

Photoshop has replaced the ‘wet’ darkroom of the old days, and most of my current work is created with a high-resolution digital SLR cameras. Inkjet prints have mostly replaced photographic printing, which has let me print on a variety of fine textured archival papers.

For over 35 years, I have been active in photography, having first exhibited my work at age 16 as a member of the Sarasota (FL) Art Association. In recent years, I have won several awards in juried shows in New York City, exhibiting with the Riverdale Art Association, and I post new work monthly on my websites.

Typically, I exhibit limited-edition, archival pigment prints of 16” x 20”  and 11”x15”,  and my work is available for purchase and licensing. Prints are printed in editions of 20 signed pieces.

Originally from Atlanta, GA, my formal education includes studying Fine Art at the University of Florida, and I continue to refine my senses of tone, design and composition.  Residing in Riverdale, NY, I am employed by a Madison Ave. advertising agency as a Senior Print Production Manager.
