My work as a fine art photographer centers on the passage of time—how it transforms the world around us and reveals truths that are exposed only through patient observation. Through still life and landscapes I explore how the accumulation of memory can be represented in objects and places.
I am drawn to subjects that bear witness to time's effects- the graceful decay of natural forms, the patina of use and history. In these images, I focus on the beauty inherent in impermanence and the stories embedded in erosion and change.
Working primarily with a gelatin transfer process onto Arches Aquarelle paper, each original print is a unique artifact, bearing the marks of its own making.
After more than thirty years as a photographic educator I've come to see teaching and art-making as intertwined practices. Both require sustained focus and attention, quiet patience, and a genuine belief in the transformative power of art.
