In an age when conventional photography is the most widely used art form in history, I see reality as the starting point for explorations of dreams, fantasy and ideas through special effects. I use a variety of techniques, including digital manipulation, long exposures, and intentional camera movement to find new expressions of nature, architecture, movement, and relationships. My aesthetic principles are based on 19th and 20th century schools of visual art that freed painting from the pretense of reality. I don’t feel tied to a specific ‘look,’ and I like finding new ways to produce something unexpected using photographically produced images.

My professional experience includes decades of filmmaking, writing, acting and comedy, as well as many years of photography. My photograph-based work has been exhibited publicly over two dozen times, including the Charlotte Street Artboards in the Crossroads District, and first prize in photography at the annual juried show at Images Gallery in Overland Park.
