Maroon Bells Fantasia Print

It begins as an adventure. I start with something raw and wild, considering the possibilities. What wonder is waiting to be revealed? Like a sculptor who envisions the masterpiece locked inside a block of stone, my goal is to unlock the peaceful beauty of our world. My subjects are thoroughly studied, then recorded as a harmonious photograph; all the while perceiving the scene as a work of art from the very start. Using thoughtfully selected digital techniques, the final piece is my dreamlike impression of that initial moment of discovery. Our minds see a scene for what it is, I strive to see it for what it can become. My aspiration as an artist is to blur the lines of photography, digital art, and painting into a style that embodies a dreamlike reality. “You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming?” –Tinkerbell. That’s where I will be creating.
