Like my paintings, my photographic art consists of non-representational abstract compositions. Some come from parts of my own paintings, either in progress or completed. Others from the world around me.
Often, the subject matter reveals itself from the least expected places and become subjects that provide unexpected and intriguing visual imagery. Weathered, distressed objects haunt me and show me how beauty can be found anywhere I look for it, accidentally in nature and especially within me.
