Artist’s Statement

The beauty of the natural world has always filled me with an existential fascination. As a young boy I would often go down to the sea, never disappointed in her embrace of peaceful solitude. I now revel in capturing her special moments of equanimity, movement, color, light, power and immortality. In these works I seek to balance realism with abstraction, at times capturing the surreal. My favorite images give the viewer the smallest anchor of realism, leaving the rest to the imagination. It is important for an artist to experiment and try new things so of recent I started to shoot different subjects attempting to illicit the same emotion. However my goal remains the same, for the viewer to leave with a meditative sense of beauty, peace, and timelessness.
