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.
