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.

Sue, thanks happy you like it

I love this. The mystery of what lies ahead. Evocative yet cautionary in today’s world.
Hi Marie, thanks so much! I am so happy to say that in Finland it is safe to let kids go out by themselves., well not this young but little bit later.
I will have to get to Finland someday, in the summer. 🙂
absolutely Marie, in the summer 🙂
This is an absolutely wonderful image, my friend, like something out of a fairy tale. 🙂
Thanks, I do like this myself too, it is an old photo of my grandson that I edited after 6 years of waiting for discovery
