Photography - 2003
Statement & Bio

Captivated by the found color, form and beauty that shows itself in unusual compositions in Nature.  These "realities" take on their own life.  It stops being about the experience or the specifics, but about the primitive and organic response that we all have to these images. 
They each have their own energy, and they attempt to trigger our senses.  
Can you smell the sea, feel the wind, taste the sweat?  You see the image; can you hear the birds, or the leaves or the dancers bells or the hooves pounding?  The experience becomes yours and the primal elements that tell us we are alive come to the surface.
