Artist Statement

My Photographs use a combination of architecture and nature to question perspective and spatial reality. I take pictures of three-dimensional objects of real life and bring them together onto a two-dimensional "canvas." To me they are abstract photo-paintings.

In the past few years I have been getting closer to my subject matter and minimizing the number of objects in my pictures, essentially zeroing in on what really interests me and excluding everything else.

Color is crucial to me. I believe in the power of color and how it affects mood. I want people to walk into a room of my photographs and feel surrounded by the color and the warmth that emanates from them. In addition, I want people to have the bold composition of color, shadow, lights and blacks challenge them to find their footing within the picture. I want to make viewers dizzy.
