About the Artist
ARTISTS STATEMENT I started photographing trees and the figure over 20 years ago. The figure reflects the different chapters of my life. The landscape represents the background and textures of my life. I look for trees that remind me of the human form. The lines and cracks accentuate the visual imperfections and reflect character that comes with age. I have been a professional photographer for over 20 years in the Maryland area. I have worked for The Baltimore Sun, The Walters Art Gallery, taught photography at Community Colleges, and worked for the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. Capital Hill. When asked what is it that I like best to photograph? The answer is always the same. What ever it is that I am working on at the time.

Artist's Statement
From a young age I loved photography. It was the light and form that intrigued me. I shot professionally for over 25 years, photographing people places and things. I also photographed making images for me. From nudes to landscapes.
