While exploring the volcanoes of Hawaii, I was told that Mt. Waialeale, the extinct volcano that created the island of Kauai, was one of the wettest spots on Earth. I took that as a challenge and attempted to get to the top with my camera. I only saw a few short glimmers of sunlight and managed to capture just two of them. Later, I decided that the two images should be part of the experimental process I was working on and they should be considered as a diptych. The experiment evolved over time with analog materials and, after manipulating the film, it was scanned and ended up a digital print on fine art paper. The process literally took several years and it reflects the transition from analog photography to digital image making, resulting in a painterly quality. I have created two bodies of work with this experiment and I owe credit to a local digital lab, Digital Grange, for their help in bringing this work to the gallery. I hope the viewer will see the subject in a new way A work of art has the ability to transcend the subject itself.

United States
While documenting my travels to Europe, Jamaica, the Hawaiian islands and California, I worked in a busy commercial photo studio constantly honing my technical skills in both subject areas. In the mid 80's, I was ready to apply myself to fine art photography so I applied to the SF Art Institute where I earned honors in color photography while studying with Reagan Louie, https://www.sfai.edu/bios/reagan-louie. During my two years at the Art Institute, I formed a lasting friendship with Chair of the Photo Dept., Jack Fulton, https://www.sfai.edu/bios/jack-fulton, who mentored me and helped curate my undergraduate exhibition. After graduation, I created and managed the Clara Street Studio which became an incubator for collaboration among visual artists and performing artists while providing me a studio for experiments with light and a large space to create photo-collage. During the infancy of digital photography, I married and moved to a remote region of Brazil, where, for nearly eight years, I documented everything around me. I continued shooting with film, creating photo-collage and large scale prints for exhibition, while teaching myself digital photography to share online at itacare.com My return to SF found me working as in-house photographer at a gallery located at 49 Geary Street, home to over a dozen contemporary art galleries. Matt McKinley curated many shows there and exhibited my work from Brazil at several venues around the City. https://www.mckinleyartsolutions.com/home.html A few years passed and I was offered an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I moved to Healdsburg, CA, just over an hour north of the Golden Gate in the heart of wine country, where I could live and work on the Russian River, creating fine art stretcher bars and panels. The John Annesley Company, https://www.johnannesley.com/, serves museums, conservators, galleries and working artists like David Hockney. As an account manager, I brought in new clients including the Smithsonian and the College of Notre Dame. I opened a photo studio in Healdsburg working with artists, entertainers and entrepeneurs as well as the people, the vineyards and the culture behind the wine industry. From there, I moved west to live among the redwoods and photograph the dramatic northern California coast. I recently settled in the town of Sonoma where I am editing the seascapes while printing and mounting those images and others from the archives.
