Growing up in Key West provided a lot of inspiration for me as an artist, especially the sea and sky.
I studied with various artists there and won awards for works in acrylics and mixed media in local and regional art shows.
Later, I decided to explore photography and knew it was exactly how I wanted to express myself artistically. I love digital arts, and I still love to hand color black & white photographs by hand with oils.Experimenting with combinations of imaging and processing techniques allows me to fuse realism with my own personal vision. Communicating through images is a fun and rewarding process. I want to draw the viewer into the scene in a way that makes them see with perspective and emotion that they would not see otherwise.
I thank God, the ultimate Creator and Artist, for the opportunity to do this. My biggest inspirations are the breathtaking landscapes and skies He paints for us daily."The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof..." Psalm 24:1
I love the way color can affect your emotions and your senses, and
I love the drama of black and white.
It's about the joy of creating!
