Artist Statement
Whether
it’s documenting
a place or object, I strive to convey a mood and a
sense of timelessness. I want to draw the viewer into
these images and get lost in thought. I strive to see
beyond what everyone else sees as evident. It’s
the “photographer’s eye,” my eye.
I am continually fascinated by abstract imagery. Vibrant
colors attract me. Texture attracts me. In my new series
Abstracts I and Abstracts II, I have found beauty in
construction sites as well as flaking paint on buildings
in need of repair. I am captivated by the exquisite
design of antique cars as found in my Auto Parts series.
The simplicity of wooden windows becomes art as depicted
in Windows.
I still am drawn to traditional and representational
subjects, but I like to find what is unique about an
object. The relationship of light, color and tones
fascinate me. In Moods I find peace in the glowing
sand dunes, water, and even trees alongside tracks.
The beauty of architectural objects shot in black and
white, is depicted in Bridges.
My passion for photography began more than thirty-five
years ago. Although primarily self-taught, I have studied
various styles and techniques of photography. I work
in both 35mm format as well as digital. I have attended
various classes at The New School for Social Research,
the School of Visual Arts, and the Camera Club of New
York.
After a long career in the business world in management
and sales, I began devoting my full attention to fine
art photography in 2005. I have appeared in juried
fine art and craft festivals in Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.
