Elegant couples
With delicate radiance--
Light in the darkness.

AUTHOR
I turn the ordinary, unlikely, or even ugly into the amusing, beautiful, or meaningful. It is satisfying work.

I work with what I find by being mindful and sensitive to my surroundings and discover most photos near where I live and work in the mountains of western Maryland. There seems to be an endless supply of material for those with eyes to see, and I enjoy sharing these visions.

I consider myself an artist first and a photographer second. I do not seek to capture the unusual or the exotic, but--by varying degrees of abstraction--seek to express some truth, to make some commentary, or sometimes simply to remind someone how to enjoy a playful, child-like imagination or how to see beauty in unlikely places.

Photography is a relatively new creative medium for me, but by study and practice, my photographic art is improving, and I’ve garnered several honors.

There is something hopeful and encouraging about this work. And I hope to make my best art available to others, so that it can adorn homes and workplaces.
