Artist Statement
I invite you to voyage into the visual world of the four Seasons. For example, tulips or autumn leaves are arranged to intersect with bare winter trees with surprising color, form and movement. I blend my own photography and painting within the computer in order to create a digital collage and then am able to produce a high quality fine art print. I hope to share my contemplation and joy of seasonal changes.
