My passion, as far back as I can remember, has focused on creative endeavors, design and the quality of life through excellence in the Arts. I very much enjoy creating art, conveying realized expressions and emotions through the medium of my craft. I am a registered Architect, but first I consider myself an artist. Architecture is but a way through which I convey my craft. I consider fine architecture as a three-dimensional expression of a well-lived life, and if done well, art. I also express my creative sense through Photography or as a Photo Artist; through graphic drawings; and through sculpture or constructions.
In the early 1980’s through the late 1990’s as a Photo Artist, I developed and showed multiple blended black and white photo images. These were dark room manipulated images utilizing several negatives into a single final image, through “dodging and burning”. These manipulated images resulted into surreal exaggerated realities. I was blessed in sharing many images through gallery and museum shows as well as art festivals. I was the recipient of several awards including one Best in Show with a very nice cash prize. Since I have moved to the mountains, I feel led to share the natural beauty that abounds in this area, and am working on several manipulated images that I will be sharing in the near future.
