The photograph is where my work begins.
Photography has been at the heart of my creative practice for more than thirty years. I began with landscape, drawn to the quiet relationship between land, light, atmosphere and time. Over the years that interest has expanded to architecture, nature and the details of the world around us.
Today, photography remains the foundation of my work, but increasingly it is a starting point rather than an endpoint. I am interested in what happens when a photograph is transformed — through abstraction, layering, texture, long exposure or the physical qualities of print and encaustic — into something that can stand on its own as an artwork.
Some works remain close to the original photograph. Others move much further away, allowing fragments of place, light and memory to become something less literal and more personal.
Collections
These collections explore different ways of seeing and interpreting the world around us. Some begin with landscape or architecture; others explore abstraction, movement, texture and the transformation of the photographic image.
Although each collection has its own character, they are connected by an interest in light, place, atmosphere, memory and the passage of time.

From Photography to Art
My photographic practice has always been about more than recording what I see. It is about finding something in a place — a particular quality of light, a fleeting moment, a shape or texture — and finding a way to express it.
That exploration now extends beyond photography itself. I am developing work through drawing, abstraction and mixed media, allowing different processes to influence how I see and make.
Photography remains the foundation, but the work increasingly extends beyond the photograph.
