Spring Snow - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

I create conceptual fine art. I document complex aesthetic ideas through careful control of composition, focus, lighting, and editing of digital capture of short-lived moments. In my daily encounters, I discover many prospects for soft subject matter that extends beyond recording the outside world. I see objects within objects, colors and motion in abstract, and shapes that are not obvious to the naked eye. My process begins with organic methods of digital capture to create a large digital file for two-dimensional artwork. In my digital darkroom, I use both technical skill and feminine intuition to reveal the image in my mind’s eye – what was I sensing, what was the experience, what was the impulse to capture, and how do I make it real? This deep-seated contemplation produces an image more intense in color, dramatic in expression, highlights socio-political influence, and emphasizes the beauty of natural elements in moments often ignored in daily life. With great care and attention to image detail, my meditative process determines whether the final work is transformed to archival inks on cotton mould-made paper, formed as a Diasec face mount print, whether it is infused into a sheet of aluminum, or becomes mixed media of metal mounted to hand painted canvas, or whether the moment is rendered as abstract.
