About

Artist Statement: Throughout my career as an artist, my medium has changed; from painting and sculpture to years as a graphic designer, and now, photography, but my focus has always been on design. For me, photography is not a literal translation of our world, but rather, a means of interpretation. I use the camera as a vehicle to “paint” the design, rather than to make a realistic interpretation. This series of images is about the abstraction of the natural landscape, focusing on finding patterns, texture and color relationships in the reflections and presenting them as design compositions. Reflection images fit in particularly well in my pursuit of abstraction because rather than capturing the literal object, in this case, trees, I am capturing the design cast by the trees. Although the trees are always the same, the design they create on the water surface always changes.
