Western Landscape Paintings

I lived in Utah from 2017 until 2024. The desert landscape provided a vibrant palette and a stark contrast to the eastern forests of the U.S. where I had spent the majority of my life.

West meets East

Collage is art work made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

I use this ancient technique in the contemporary world of electronic media; combining and manipulating original photographs into dramatic and unique images. Chance associations of disparate visual elements and the subsequent images suggest a new and richer reality.

My series, West meets East, is created from images shot over eight years during many trips to China and Southeast Asia. The richly detailed and textured images show the contrast of chaos and harmony represented in these great Asian civilizations.

All of these images are available as limited edition giclee prints.
