Artist's Statement
“Making photographs is about going deep within yourself and discovering something unique. I think that's the only way to find your style. I particularly like the way a camera sees things differently than the naked eye.

"I was introduced a few years ago to alternative printing processes while attending the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach. These processes were used during photography's infancy in the 1800s. The techniques gave new meaning to black and white prints. I like the involvement in using basic artist materials with photographic chemicals to produce photographs that look like they had been painted.

"The response I've seen from people viewing my work at regional art shows and galleries throughout the United States evokes an appreciation of an art form used many years ago."
