“My photographs depict life and the human experience in all its forms.  Light is my brush; I use it to capture mood and atmosphere.  The essence of geometric shape has always intrigued me, and I often search for new meaning and new perceptions within the visually common.  My take on the combination of graphic patterns and the human body lead to the success of the first Body Lines project in 1999-2000. I recently found myself at the same creative intersection, and decided to take a fresh look at this concept.  This time around, I frequently used more than one body in my images, and I used color in addition to black & white.  Using multiple bodies in the same shot has allowed me to explore additional dimensions, while continuing to work in abstract.  As always, I am excited to learn the various perceptions others will have of my art.”
