Color, shape and light serve as inspiration to project their dynamic power and energy. My subject matter varies as to whatever happens to catch my eye, whether it’s the symmetry and beauty in nature, the lines and design in architecture, the movement of the sea and clouds or the interaction of people in everyday life, I strive to make bold photographic images that will engage the viewer and take them to those places.
Watercolor allows me the freedom to explore the fluidity of the medium, experiment with color and express my emotional interpretation of various scenes in nature and objects. I hope that people will be inspired, comforted and energized by my work. My work has been accepted to many juried local and international exhibitions including Torrance Art Museum, Long Beach Creative Group Gallery, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, Huntington Beach Art Center, American Society of Media Photographers LA, CA101 2022, Blank Wall Gallery, Athens, Greece, CIP Chania International Photography Festival, Crete, Greece and Artillery Magazine’s Code Orange. I have also received private commissions for paintings and my work is in collections throughout the US.
