I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.

These are really beautiful. You captured a very special spirit present in this place. I would like to walk out my door and be there.
Thanks Pat, this is right in my backyard, this hill and forest is about 50 meters from our house .
Lovely
Thanks Raewyn it was so misty, foggy but as I was in the woods it was not as thick as it was in open space.
Sumun läpikin kauniit kevääksi muuntautumisen värit luonnossa tulevat upeasti esille. Kaunista.
Kiitos, sumua lähdin kuvaamaan, menin lähelle niin se ei ollut niin vaikuttava(oli meinaan kova sumu, ihan harmaata) kuin jos olisin jaksanut kävellä pidemmälle kuin takapihalle – tämä on n. 50 m meidän talosta. mutta sopivasti sain muutaman väriläiskän kuvaan mukaan.
Love those trees!
Thanks Sue
