My art begins with a special moment. A passing cloud, a beam of light, a quiet figure on a beach, or a sunset that lasts for only a moment.
To me, photography and painting are much more than just recording what was actually seen; it is about capturing a feeling, a question, a story, an emotion- nothing that can be logically defined or explained.
A photograph or painting is like a movie but compressed into a single frame. The viewer sees the one moment that is captured in the image, and is left to imagine everything that came before it and everything that might come after. The image is just a seed of a story, and the viewer is left to create the whole story and what it means to them, but more importantly, how they feel about it. Fine Art does not give the viewer a logical message; rather, the viewer is allowed to create his own emotional response. This is how art is different than illustration.
I create paintings and photographs. My work is designed to bring visual aesthetics to a home or office that leaves one feeling different. My work is inspired by light, weather, the sea, and the small moments of reflection that connect us to something much larger than ourselves.
