Artist Statement

Abstract imagery tugs at my personal expression asking to emerge as bold statements. Shadows work to an advantage, masking the unknown and allowing organic shapes and patterns to appear in unlikely places. Organic form often hidden in pockets of decay is rich in texture and contrast. The everyday commonplace becomes a mystery open for exploration. An inquisitive photographer at heart, I believe imagery does reveal a story as each photograph is created with sublime intent and substance.
