Not just light, shadow, composition and color, but also the sense of place and memories evoked through nature and architecture." “As a graphic designer, I take great pleasure in reducing images to their basic shapes. This is what I do best. I like to identify and then accentuate the raw structure of an image. I get mesmerized removing and reducing details, working towards that magic balance point. Achieving it is a thrill. “As a matter of efficiency, I create almost entirely in the computer. It allows me to achieve knife-edge perfection with shapes and lines and allows me to expose and then decorate the bones of the image. “The resulting original can be reproduced to any size limited only by the printer and the surface. Large, striking images with clean, sharp lines are visually intoxicating.” Canvas prints are gallery-wrapped cotton/poly, printed with eco-friendly archival ink and stretched on pine bars. Paper prints are on archival-quality matte fine art paper. Art and products made in the USA.
