Artist statement
My love of art began in the third grade when I learned about two-point perspective. I have sketched, painted and doodled ever since. In the early 70s, I purchased my first 35mm camera while in the Navy. It was a Pentax. That was the beginning of my facination with photography. In the 90s, the computer became my canvas and when I acquired my first digital camera; art and photography morphed into PhotoArt. It's not just a photograph--it's not a sketch or a painting. It is a combination of both used to create images that are unique and hopefully fun and interesting for the viewer.

Some of my images are closer to traditional photographs while others are very much PhotoArt. I enjoy creating them and hope you enjoy them too.
