With a deep love for the ocean, there is so much more than just an image that moves me. It is the environment ... the breeze on my skin ... the smell of salt air ... or the distant sounds of an approaching storm that are tactile senses I strive to add to an otherwise simple photographic image.

Artist's Statement:

With a focus on photography and mixed-media printmaking, I have directed my most recent works toward combining the two disciplines. In addition to traditional fine art photography, I began exploring and further developing a print-making technique I refer to as Progressive Frame Imaging (PFI). In its simplest definition, PFI is a multi-layer, ink-over-ink print making process not dissimilar to that of lithography, wood block or silk-screen printing. With Progressive Frame Imaging, digital printers replace the ink transfer mediums of stone, wood or screen.
