Traditional art materials have been replaced by the electronic pixel, computer software and personal printer. With an emphasis on color, texture and balance, original images are used from nature's diversity. With some creative enhancement, coloration and styling, I have crafted distinctive portraits from simple elements. I call these images the "PhotoArt Collection". The collection includes series of prints from numerous categories which continue to grow with no end in sight.

My professional history has been monopolized by graphic design and illustration for print advertising and publishing. Since moving to Texas from Minnesota, I have strayed from my roots, geographically and creatively, by using my diverse skills in unchartered territory. Designer digital photography has been one of the courses I have chosen to explore. To my surprise and delight, this medium has spoken to me in many positive ways. My awe of nature in its numerous forms, my love of color, texture and balance and the incomparable freedom to take a work of art from conception to its final form without getting my hands dirty, finds expression in this new journey. I am very pleased to share these delectable fruits of my joyful labor.
