Artist Statement:
Reflection of human and
societal concerns which cross
emotional boundaries--
communicating that which is
unspoken.
My traditional art foundations
of drawing, painting and
printmaking, evolved into
video, digital photography and
experimental media. I use
digital photography and
imaging to envision the
concepts originating from the
creative pulse....

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Photography is in my blood. Early on, I was engaged by my Dad taking 16 mm movies, then 8 mm when I was encouraged to 'try it" now and then.
He always spent time with composing the photo--that stuck with me. My grandfather was a commercial photographer. My father, a photographer in the Navy WWII. Years later, growing up, he would take out the war photos of Papua New Guinea, worlds away and showed us his work. He was also a commercial photographer for a while, and always in love with taking pictures of the family. I developed my first photos, in B/W, in a closet darkroom, taught by my Dad at age 7--using my brownie camera at first, then the Rolicord viewfinder.
My Mom always enjoyed taking photos also and drawing with me. Seeing your work on the ice box does a lot for ego.
I remained engaged by seeing, doing and capturing the moment.
This has extended since the 70s to video art and documentation works. |
