My land and seascape panoramas are stunning—there is something very attractive about them! They are crisp shiny layers of color that blend into swells with soft trailing streaks of hazy overlaps, their balance more upon open skies and oceans than forest woodland shores.

 

 

These mixed media visual works verge on dreamy distant seashores and are a succession of what seemed to be a long lost paradise, yet there is something very extraordinary in how these artworks are actually created.

 

 

I take Long Island’s seacoasts and sweeping skies up a notch with my uncommon painterly photographic approach.

 

 

I have refined and expressed my original unique flare of special methods and I am the first in my field working with this type of experimental technique of photography as a skillful art medium.

 

 

I create alluring, realistic land and seascape mixed media artworks out of the frayed and torn edges of found man made, recycled materials.

 

 

Utilizing plastic blue base bags, films, reflective filters, lights and a mixture of weathered paper products, I slowly construct scenes that portray far distant landscapes with vulnerable new horizons.

 

 

I feature acrylic on linen photographic images that resemble paintings where human presence is clearly absent. In doing so, I allow the viewer to become a counterpart to this very distinctive interplay.

 

 

I find myself slipping further into these fascinating creations in search of a tangible, repurposed, new human connection.
