I am very honored to once again have been juried into |
Creating camera-less art in a darkroom I revisit the wonder of photography's invention and process. Merging current technologies with deep-rooted photographic practices, I use light emitting devices to brush color into form across light-sensitive paper. A unique approach to the production of photographic art, I do not document an existing image but rather, like a painter, generate an original one. Manipulating color, intensity and direction of light, I literally paint with light. No enlarger, camera or computer is used in the creating of my art making each piece produced a unique work.
In line with my one of a kind artwork I choose nature as an analogous subject. With no two flowers ever being exactly alike I bring to light the intricate textures and details through careful arrangement and layering. I deepen the notion of exceptional nature as a mirror of exceptional human nature; providing a catalyst for the human imagination to engage with questions surrounding the nature of life and death, on the mortal constraints of all people, and the finite boundaries of the human body.
Flowers exhibit a transitory beauty, an ephemeral symbol of mortality that illustrates the passage of time. With buds reaching to the sky, roots plunging deep in the earth, and a stem planted firmly in between, flowers dwell in three worlds and offers a link between heaven, earth and underworld. Flowers take on the appearance of death in the winter, only to sprout anew with the return of spring. In this way, flowers are a powerful symbol of resurrection. Revealing the death-rebirth mystery, flowers serve to illuminate the human life cycle.
I invite viewers to contemplate the fragility of existence and the prospect of the afterlife from multiple points of view; reminding viewers that death is an unavoidable part of life, something to be prepared for at all times. But also reminding viewers of something startling and important: life is meaningful, temporary, and sacred.

Much love to you all!

and the following 50 preliminary sketches were used to create them.
Preliminary Sketch: A quick or less detailed painting often made as a preliminary study;
a brief general account or presentation.
I often create preliminary sketches in preparation for larger, more detailed works of art.
Test Strip: A method of calculating exposure in photographic printing. A number of exposures are given to smaller pieces of paper, over specific areas of the image to help judge the exposure in the final print.
I use test strips to calculate exposure times as well as to determine colors and color combinations.
I sell my preliminary sketches to offer my original art affordably for everyone.
I am offering the following preliminary sketches for $20, $40, and $60
+$5 shipping anywhere in the US or free pick-up locally (Bend or Portland).
