ARTIST’S STATMENT

I love taking photos. By embracing my imagination and my computer-skills, I often view my photographs as starting points from which to creatively transform them into art. They are full of promise and possibility. From my optimistic, upbeat life-view, I modify the subject and its surroundings to be more expressive, more striking, and hopefully just a bit magical.
