Every person experiences or realizes crucial moments and events that shape their lives. These events can occur as continuous sensations or as remnants of time suspended in memory. My energy as an artist is a continuous experience, one that I work to feed and fulfill. Suspended seconds of daily life accumulate in my work. I cannot escape the physical and mental embodiment of these impressions. They stay with me until they can best be realized through personal photographic expression.

Photography and digital imaging have become the way in which I represent selected suspended seconds of my surroundings and my existence. This on-going photographic journey inspires me not only to acquire knowledge of these mediums but also to share the discoveries through teaching and instruction.

My digital-based images include a variety of information that is related to my life. I use the human form as a central figure and build up other layers around it. Most of the time, the figure is originally photographed in nature or taken from old family photographs. The text, drawings and photographs symbolize a particular relationship with a person, event, or an overall generalization juxtaposed with the figural element. The way in which I work and build up these images is intuitive in response to their aesthetic nature.
