The Why.
Beauty. I love it and I bet you do too.
I make images that transport the viewer into the most tranquil, meditative and heart warming places that only unicorns dream of.
Using photography I capture nature as it is - beautiful and perfect. Then I add paint onto my photos and it becomes something else. Now it's something human and imperfect. This is a different kind of beauty.
The How.
These works are my own large scale photographs that I've enhanced and edited with acrylic paint, blurring the lines between photography and painting. Using thin washes of paint and etching into the emulsion of the photo, the images become tactile and painterly in some areas while remaining photographic sharp in other areas. The seamless blend between the two techniques makes each image completely unique.
For You.
Our homes are our sanctuary. It's where we hold our prized possessions, our memories and where we are free to be ourselves.
We have our favourite books, photos of friends, family, and travels and maybe your favourite song plays in the background. Art can also be a personal soul nurturing thing that energizes your life, transforms your space and elevates your emotional state.
Here are some selected pieces from my last 2 exhibitions.

These newsletters come out only a few times a year (sigh), but they have a few personal
insights into my latest body of work.
