Modern architectural building with shiny metallic surfaces and curved design.

While photographing for fun over the years, always applying the composition principles I studied in school-employing the rule of thirds and searching out the golden ratio-I was unknowingly compiling a library of reference photos for a future purpose-for a different interpretation using new and unfamiliar materials and methods I had never picked up before.

As you navigate through my website, you will see many photographs. I’ve probably shot more than 100,000 over the past 25 years after discovering my passion while earning a Bachelor of Design with a Major in Architecture from the University of Florida. All of them represent memories and experiences.

discovered a new talent. Drawing from my training in architecture, design and photography, I merge the rules of proportion, scale and perspective with expressions of light and shadow and intensity of color.

I’m influenced by Cubism, Impressionism and the Bauhaus movement; Picasso, Braque and Marcel Duchamp; along with modern masters Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, and Zaha Hadid. I’m learning from Renoir, Degas, and Cezanne to name a few. But I’m inspired by my experiences. Walking the historic Tokaido highway from Kyoto to Tokyo profoundly

impacted my artistic perspective in ways no book about Hiroshige’s woodblock prints or Frank Lloyd Wright’s time in Japan could.

I took over 13,000 photos walking across Japan.

My original works are largely based on photographs of my travels. I’m embracing and enjoying learning new pastel techniques, expanding into watercolor and acrylics, and continually returning to sketching and drawing with pencil, ink and charcoal. And I still love using my camera. I hope you enjoy the new interpretations of my experiences and perhaps it will make you look at yours in a new way as well!
