The Jazz Collage pieces are a personal homage to the musicians that have given the world a most unique art form, and added a dimension to my life that is impossible to describe. It is a thrill to examine collections of album covers, liner notes, books, newspaper articles, and memorabilia to produce this artwork. A great deal of my art in the past has been inspired by Jazz. This is the first series of work that is about the musicians. I hope you will enjoy looking at the images and reading the text embedded in the pieces. If you love and listen to Jazz you will see references to the music and the lives of the people that have given America its only original art form. There will be many more collage pieces, as this series is limited only by the number of musicians. Enjoy!

The series Modern Romance is the product of a larger group of images collected over the past four years. Photographs taken of a television monitor, movie trailers, and a computer screen, yielded thousands of images. The original intent of this study was to reveal to myself the messages we obtain from images encountered everywhere. The images collected fell into several distinct categories, the largest being romantic relationships. Most of these capture a moment between two people, with faces partially revealed. We are also participants in this as we view the couples and the space between them. Limited Edition Prints on 13x19 Archival Matte or Velvet Fine Art Paper 13x19 paper are signed and numbered.

Single prints are 95.00
Two prints are 175.00
Three prints are 250.00

Curiosity about the effects of advertising on our collective psyche is the inspiration for this work. Advertising slogans and sound bites heard and read are inescapable. My intuition tells me that those images and words register in our unconscious to form new archetypes. We may only be subtly aware of this change, yet it may influence the way we interpret our lives. I photographed advertising in many of its various forms, from television to billboards. The goal in studying these images was to find something poetic in the things many of us find banal, with the hope that this discovery could become a way for me to experience the poetry in my own life. Imbedding text in the images seemed a way to mimic advertising. The combination of image and text exposed a level of meaning more complex than image or text alone could provide. A collection of conversations overheard, clippings from obituaries, advertising sound bites, anything read or heard that “seemed interesting at the time” were experimented with for text.
My usual process is to isolate a part of an image that seems the most interesting, and alter and view it in different ways to find why it appeals to me. Text is selected and added as I discover why an image resonates.

The Light Images are captured with an Eyemodule2 camera attached to a Handspring PDA. The images produced are lower resolution than those taken with a conventional camera. Images appearing on my computer screen and television monitor were the subject of this study, and were intended to be primary research concerning the content presented by each medium. By examining the information in a mini version, I thought I might find a picture language encoded within the thumbnail images, revealing content unknown to me before. Instead, there were images more ethereal and abstract than the subjects of the photographs. The titles are the date, and time the photographs were taken. There isn’t a place to revisit to take another snapshot, as time, place, and light have all passed. An image of the space between the images remains, a record of the light they produced.

Light Images are 13x19, printed with Archival Ink on Archival Matte or Velvet Fine Art Paper, in a Limited Edition Series of 50 prints each.
Light Images are 150.00 each print.

Leaves fall, and make a random design. Clouds make patterns in the sky. Rocks are arranged by rushing water to reveal shapes that remind us of other things we know.
Looking up or down, there are patterns and beauty all around us. Many series of photographs I have taken reveal a fascination with pattern and decorative design. The images here have been selected for the patterns they unveil, and then altered to amplify the inherent decorative qualities

Pinhole Photography is great fun. Building a camera out of an oatmeal box, taping film inside, guessing at the exposure, and waiting to see the image during developing are all parts of a magical process that give birth to images that are spontaneous, unpredictable, and usually quite beautiful. The contrast of clarity and distortion give a fresh perspective to ordinary scenes and objects. I print my images in Photoshop to avoid exposure to chemicals in the developing process. Traditional photography techniques used to edit images during the developing process, such as dodge, burn, and cropping are available this way, in a less toxic form. Pinhole Camera images are printed on 13x19 Archival Matte paper with Archival Ink. This is a Limited Edition Series of 50 for each image.

Pinhole Camera Photographs are 150.00 each.
