Artist Biography: I have been going at this for 55 years now and still feel that passion when a pre-visualization comes together. I have used Wisner & Calumet 4x5s, Mamiya TLR medium format, 35mm film & Canon DLSR plus optical & electron microscopes. Several masters have mentored and helped shape my seeing.

For me, my creativity is a gift from a higher power that ebbs and flows in my life. I have always been drawn to creating somewhat mysterious yet beautiful compositions to share.

Over the years, I taught myself large format view camera techniques, built a black and white darkroom for 16x20 archival photographic prints, and became an expert in Photoshop and fine art archival dye based inkjet printing with full color calibration. I often use the optical and ultra-high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopes from my lengthy engineering career to create fun & abstract images.

I believe in both serendipity and pre-visualization to guide me in my image making. I am looking forward to sharing this adventure with many of you!

Please enjoy several pieces of my photography.
