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.

Wow! What’s all that wet stuff? We need some of it here in Wales 😉
Europe needs it, hopefully we will have some this weekend, there is supposed to be thunderstorms in our way…
Lovely. I know many people envious of your day!

I was not totally honest here, it lasted about a half hours 😀
Love the blurred effects here, Ritva – especially the leaves at lower left. A 🙂
Adrian , no effects, these are what i caught with my camera, the wind was strong and whirled from all directions. All sides of our house the windows were wet
No, I fully understand that the blurring is due to the rain, I think its beautiful; I didn’t mean to imply post-capture effects. A 🙂
My mistake, I like it too, looks like an impressionist painting, a style close to my heart
Oh, Ritva, impressionism is a style very close to my heart too – Manet, Monet, Degas, van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, I really love this kind of art.
