Artist Statement~
I am an observer; a witness who practices photography as an additive art form. Never taking, I leave my subjects undiminished. Whether I am meticulously sculpting with light in the studio, arranging tones from negative to print in the darkroom, or stitching together a composite at the computer, I am making a picture. I bring into being images that express different truths, suggesting what else a subject may be just beyond the veil of mundane everyday observation.
