I am an artist and strong believer of the of the many benefits of art and I feel that it’s partly my responsibility to use my talents to create beautiful fine art prints that will help sway the moods and dispositions of those who view my artwork.

If one person is in a great mood because of viewing and taking pleasure in my images, he or she will treat others more kindly making a better place for those around them and my goal will have been achieved.

My education began in the traditional wet darkroom of Glendale Community College where I learned to use advanced techniques to create a beautifully toned, composed and archival fine art print. I later transferred that knowledge into my digital workflow where I have even more control over the creation of my art.
