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.

I must correct it, thanks :-), right away!
Glad you don’t mind. So many bloggers who have English as a second language speak it so well, I feel bad sending a correction, especially as I only speak a little German and even less French. 🙂
nah, I don’t mind, I make so many mistakes, and basically I can live with as I am not a native speaker. I great excuse to be sloppy, eh?
I figure it’s helpful and meant well. 🙂 I appreciate being helped like that in my little bit of foreign language attempts.
It is and to be truthful, I could out check the spelling and words. If you wish to send correction I really do not mind. As most of the time I don’t know the names of the flowers or plants I post. If they are beautiful it works for me. I need at my job to be cautious how and what I write – also most of it in English , so I give myself slack when it comes to my hobbies. So no need to think that I am offended at all. Happy to correct my mistakes – by someone making it easy on me 🙂 Janet!
Me too 🙂
