Combining my love of travel with a specially made unique camera
lens, I create images that evoke a sense of magic, nostalgia and
timelessness. My vision is focused on nature for inspiration and
content, with a particular affinity for coastal landscapes. I strive to
create – with a quick click of the shutter – the soft, hazy, and
dreamlike effects found in the Pictorialism style of photography.

• Biography
  Maybe a passion for art is hereditary. In my case I think that is true. At a very young age my grandmother began telling me stories about her grandfather, a famous artist from Paris. These stories began to shape an early passion for art. As an adult I studied graphic design at Art Center and for 30 years worked in the advertising field. In 2008, I began experimenting with photographic lenses that would allow me to combine the aesthetics of my painting style with the immediacy of a photograph.
