WELCOME!

I have been taking pictures since boyhood, but my current preoccupations are with transforming photographs of flowers and other objects from nature into mandala-like images, and in directly photographing the natural world. My work is inspired by the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe and Claude Monet, the nature photographs of Andreas Feininger, and the flower images of Harold Feinstein, with whom I briefly studied. Making these images feels as if I am in wordless conversation with elements far more profound than anything I could create myself. The experience of photographing and of editing is reminiscent of meditation.
