Artist Statement
As a fine artist with a background in painting, printmaking, and sculpture, I now use photography as a source of ideas and a tool to create. My photographs are portraits/still lifes of nature’s forms, from flowers, dried leaves, twigs, the bark of trees and mushrooms in their various stages of growth and natural decline. I have been collecting and photographing natural forms for quite some time and I am always looking for that special shape of nature that inspires me. The camera brings out qualities that one cannot see with the naked eye when these forms are on the ground. I photograph indoors, using natural light and a reflective surface. I create compositions to entice the viewer to see these images in a new and different way. I am not interested in taking an exact representation but more of an artistic impression and interpretation that I want to convey when one looks at the final image, allowing the viewer to appreciate them in their new beauty and transformation.
A Moment in Time – V – The orange Pincushion Protea is a genus of about 50 species of flowerings plants in the family of the Protea, a native plant of Zimbabwe and South Africa, where they occupy a variety of habitats. When I find an unusual flower or plant I then try to find other unusual plants that would work well together. Photographing these different plants together allows one to see and appreciate them in their new beauty caught by the eye of the camera.
For each group of new photographs I like to create a series from four, six or eight different compositions so that I have one, two or a group of photographs that work well together. All images are limited editions, signed and numbered, printed on archival smooth cotton paper.
