Title of Work "Pele" / Traveler Collection Every Traveler Palm holds a striking secret. Here, "Pele" suggests a world of lava flows and the hand of Madam Pele, who, the myth says, rules the volcanoes of Hawai’i. My Story I have returned to Fine Art photography because my soul needed to slow down and appreciate the journey. My new abstract work celebrates the idea that nothing is finished, perfect, or permanent. Instead, imperfections and wear are records of the natural pace of our lives and the wear and freedom that comes with it. The abstract expressionism I have discovered is the reward for my return to watching instead of anticipating. My images reveal the intense emotional and creative bond between my eye, camera and each subject’s hidden potential. I want my audience to get lost in my images’ deep color-soaked surfaces, intricate details, and complex textures accented by dramatic shadows and luminous light. I want viewers to feel they were beside me while I created images just for them. I aim to produce work that has meaning - that is evocative, restorative and real. I search for bold images that others pass by and then simplify their details to reveal the essential structure. Be it a Traveler Palm, a Málaga wall or Miami grit, I infuse each image with drama that communicates fresh secrets and interpretations with each new viewing. My abstract compositions offer the healing power of art to help them regain focus, balance and clarity in their lives and careers. Every image is full of emotion that will stand the test of time while soothing a viewer’s heart, unburdening their soul, or nourishing their dreams. I know that producing that quality of artistic expression and emotional fulfilment requires taking chances, being vulnerable, and risking failure. My successes speak for themselves, but I cordially invite you to explore my inspiring new work in depth to see for yourself.

I have been fortunate to spend my life chasing light to tell stories and fill my creative soul. Today, I continue interpreting images using my signature visual stamp; reducing the subject down to its most essential and emotional qualities. I began as a 19-year old photojournalist, travelling the Formula 1 circuit in the 1970s-80s, documenting the sport and its iconic racing drivers on black and white film. I searched for “decisive moments”, deliberately disappearing into the background as a “fly on the wall,” to reveal the essence of each subject’s heart and soul as they fought long ago to be the best in the world. The images now appear more contemporary as the years pass and have been featured in dozens of journals and these fine art prints are in private collections worldwide. Along with my editorial/documentary projects, I embraced a wide range of abstract works captured with the same perspective of the decisive moment; I am showing those images here for the first time. Most of my abstracts use light, shadow, form and composition as one-of-a-kind transient combinations, with each element aligning to create the frame for only that moment before growth, decay and natural light move on to their next stages. My aim is for these images to suggest new secrets and fresh interpretations each time one is viewed.The PALM BLU collection celebrates both familiarity and surprise. I use the palm's highlights and shadows to create precise graphic frames and then apply subtle light and color manipulation to suggest unrelenting heat, blinding sunlight or a cool evening breeze that transforms the bland into the seductive, the simple into the complex, and the natural into the mystical. HEAT uses infrared processing and exact positioning that visually transforms the relationship between each palm’s dense shadows and bright leaves into a graphic, creating the sense of dark mystery and intense emotion needed for large statement pieces. My TRAVELER collection employs macro photography of each palms’ one-of-a-kind artistic markings that reveal painterly abstract forms, color-streaked desert landscapes or the allegorical woodblock prints of Hokusai. Both my ABSTRACTS and FROM THE STREET collections celebrate the grandeur and wonder of pure found art in accidental forms before natural wear, or another human’s hand changes them forever.
