About

I am an artistic photographer based in south-central Wisconsin, U.S.A., and I endeavor to explore and celebrate artistic expression in photography and digital art. Working toward and making  fine art prints is my process and ultimate goal. I enjoy working in both monochrome and color, and my signed, limited edition original works include fine art nude, abstract, figure study, digital art, landscape, street, and more.

Making beautiful archival quality prints is a passion. I find that crafting the fine print is a key part, and unique technical side, of the creative process. I have always liked art techniques that are a little removed from direct representation, such as aquatints, mezzotints, wood block prints, loose brush work. You will often find stylistic references to such techniques in my work — grain, texture, intentional blur, effects of light, elements that invite ambiguity, mood, and interpretation. The composition edge is often a part of the composition, too, and I typically put effort into the borders. 

I have a foundation in traditional black and white film photography, and I managed my own darkroom and brick-and-mortar gallery for many years. With a degree of gratitude, my current workflow is entirely digital. I hold a master's degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Ohio University.
