Artist Statement
I am always, always looking to find and capture snippets of visual intrigue in the everyday places of everyday life.
Although the combined objects in the photographs I take can usually be identifiable (like buildings, trees or parking lots), I consider each composition on the whole to be an abstract image defined by shape, line and rhythm.
I often look for recurring elements which, with luck, are accompanied by complementary aspects that create a compelling visual dialogue. My work tends to convey a sense of formality, order and balance and often contains elements of both nature and fabricated structures.
My compulsion to discover new visual stories is never ending and hopefully ever-evolving.
