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 love this sort of knot and have lots of photos of them myself. I much prefer the color version.

Janet, they are nice and I even learned a correct word for them – Thigmotropism
Love it (but I’ll probably never use it in conversation.) 🙂
I won’t remember it 🙂
Interesting contrast – looks natural and then industrial!
it is, nature’s small wonders once again.
The colour version is the best picture of thigmotropism I’ve seen. At first glance in The Reader I thought it was a plant tendril wrapped around rusty barbed wire but now I see it’s a young tendril reaching out to an older one for support. Lovely.
Thanks Susan, that is so lovely to hear. Also you thought me a new word, I appreciate it!
