Welcome to my studio.
I attempt to capture nature's
beauty through sketching,
photography, painting, mosaics,
carving, etching and sculpting.
I love texture and form and have
always had a deep appreciation
for any art form that is visually
stimulating. My work gives me
great pleasure. With each
project I take in the curves,
edges, shadows and visual
vibrations of a subject and then
translate the experience into a
physical object that can be
displayed on a wall or table - or
simply held in one's hand.
My subjects are generally items
found in a natural setting - trees,
barns, water, stone, wood,
flowers, etc. With each project I
strive to produce an image that
reflects the beauty and rhythm of
nature, stirs the senses and
rewards the spirit. I believe that
nature, itself, is far more
beautiful than anything we can
contrive independently, and I
remain dedicated to preserving
nature's beauty in whatever
medium I use - eggshell,
seashell, glass, photograph,
stone, bone, canvas or wood.
My art education began with
studies at the Baum Art School
in Allentown, PA in 1963. My
interest in photography didn't
begin until 1996 when I began
taking pictures of striking objects
and scenes from which to sketch
and paint. From my first photo
shoot I was hooked. On that day
the principles of my art training,
experimental nature and
appreciation for technology
came together as one.
Most recently, I've developed a
fascination for etching glass and
carving and sculpting egg
shells. Each shell or piece of
glass has it's own properties and
each project and design
provides a new set of challenges.
