I have always been interested in making pictures. In the beginning it was pencil drawings but I soon found myself immersed in painting, working in both watercolors and oils. Eventually, I gravitated toward photography and it has since become my medium of choice.

As someone who loves nature I find myself spending a lot of time in the wilderness. I often carry my camera on these trips so that I can practice my art in wonderful natural surroundings. The original captures are later refined using a computer in my home studio. This activity plays a big role in the overall process that I employ for making prints and I consider it to be every bit as important as field work. Although I occasionally do make single images, I prefer working on projects. These longer ventures can run from a few weeks or months to several years. With each project I hope to produce a collection of photographs that explore certain concepts.

I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area from where I can easily travel to my favorite places, such as the Pacific Coast, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and many other unique locations strewn across the beautiful state of California.
