About The Artist

I am a primarily self-taught photographer and am attracted to a wide variety of subjects ranging from natural landscapes, botanicals and street photography to images that reflect themes ranging from abstract expression to social commentary. I am interested in sharing images that evoke a story of some kind. Images may be simply documentary, reflect a sense of time and place, or resonate on a more abstract level of color, shape or form. Others provoke an indefinable question that does not readily yield answers without further study and reflection.

Most often I am drawn back to images created while wandering through the upper Midwest. These images of architecture, commerce and social interactions that often reflect a mixture of nostalgia and a changing set of forces that shape life in the heartlands. Most recently I have begun exploring digital collages as a means of expression.

I have exhibited widely and have earned recognition in local, regional, and national exhibitions. My photographs are also included in several corporate and private collections.
