I enjoy using a camera to translate my visualization into reality on paper. Visualization is defined as the ability to see in the "mind's eye" the finished work before actual application. It is the creative process of images transitioning from the realm of the reactive and contemplative to the conscious and deliberate. An element of surreal gives the viewer a different perspective on the subject, removing the literal and getting down to the essence of conveying the energy of the subject. For me, the image begins when the work goes beyond merely representing reality and enters the realm of personal expression. My methods are meant to be intentional, whether in the camera or post processing.

Mixed Media



This was part of a floral exhibition which showed real flowers "sewn" in with fabric and then made into a "blanket" for a chair. It was pretty cool, I thought. I love how the orchids blend so seamlessly with the fabrics and the other flowers. I felt a vintage aura with this image, thus, the post processed vignette and framing.
