Artist Statement

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of us have been spending more time indoors. Windows are our portal to the outside world, literally when the weather permits and figuratively when it does not, so they seem like a suitable photographic subject during this difficult period. Also, as a mainly outdoor photographer, I have spent little time photographing the interior my house. Sheltering in place has given me ready reason to try a new photographic endeavor.

Artist Bio

I have been an avid photographer since I was in high school. I work in both black and white and color, using digital or analog methods depending on the project. My photographic interests include nature, images of Japan (where I lived for nearly 10 years), urban and rural scenery, the Columbia and Willamette River Basins, cats, soft focus images, and street art. I also enjoy creating (semi)-abstract, infrared and high contrast images.
