ARTIST STATEMENT

     My images usually happen with intent and study, in solitude, away from crowds and in the noise of quiet. I live to see, I love open spaces, and I'm stimulated by light. It is no wonder I make my home in The Land of Enchantment and travel the vast expanses of the West.  If I come out of a mountain or desert area with one image that I really love, I'm happy.  My studio work is often more statement oriented though the internal creative process is similar.  I sometimes search the pictures in my  mind for an extended period of time to discover the next photograph in a studio series.
     My photographs come from many places. Place is more an identifier for the image than a connection to the location itself.  What is most relevant is the feeling experienced in being there and my desire to express that feeling through my art.
The quiet, the space, and the light.
