Artist Statement

I am a professional creative artist, teacher, mentor, workshop leader, and speaker. I mainly use a camera to create expressive and subjective art influenced by mindfulness, emotion, and sensory experiences. My work is carefully composed and designed, subjectively processed, and artistically presented as a fine art print.

Most of my work incorporates elements of the natural world and is rendered in abstract form. I blend multiple images and sometimes other self-produced resources, resulting in an expressionist composite.

Based in Bend, Oregon, I spend most of my time photographing in the western United States. No one place or subject is sacrosanct. I find beauty, motivation, and influence in most places and things.

I am a lifelong learner. My creative journey is a continuum. What is most important to me is that my artwork reflects who I am. My embedded expression may be different from those who study my art. In many respects, this is expected and encouraged.

What I Offer

My fine art photos are printed on premium archival gallery paper using archival pigment inks. If correctly displayed and cared for, my prints will last 100+ years. Expect heirloom quality prints with elegant print tones on beautiful paper surfaces.

Each print is expertly edited by me and produced by master printmakers under my direction. Each is personally signed and titled. A Certificate of Authenticity and story card is included with each print sold.

Business Practices

My business is built on a foundation of personal relationships, mutual trust, and a commitment to provide excellent products and services. Here’s my perspective on selling art;

Few people buy fine art without meeting the artist. Fortunately, I find communicating with collectors a delightful experience! I enjoy helping people purchase a print they will appreciate for a lifetime.

Buying expensive fine art without seeing the physical piece is uncomfortable for many buyers. I understand the hesitation. I encourage potential clients to schedule a gallery visit. This is an opportunity to see sample prints and inspect the quality and attention to detail.

Many want to know the behind-the-scene story of an image. I love writing about where and how I capture images. A Photo Story Card accompanies every fine art photograph purchased. The card includes the date, time, location, and a few sentences about the experience.

Some want to customize the final print presentation. Prints are offered mounted, matted, framed, and ready to hang. However, options for custom finishes are possible. Collectors with their artistic vision or ideas about a custom finish are welcome. I am happy to make their vision come to fruition. 

Fine art prints should come with a warranty. I am confident that every collector will be pleased with their print. I offer a three-month satisfaction guarantee and warranty with each print sold. Why wouldn’t I? I aim to have happy customers who will make future purchases and refer others! The warranty and return policy details are posted on the website.
