Statement


My projects often require researching habitats, waiting months for seasonal changes and for plants to come into flower. I use multiple photographs to create a digital image, mixing textures, landscapes, and still life. The computer screen is like an empty stage where my work unfolds. It comes to life once printed.

I hand print all my work for either hand-crafted books or 3D boxed framed images using archival pigmented inks on acid-free matt and premium lustre paper.


Biography


For 35 years, I worked as a medical photographer, where the accuracy of recording/illustrating a condition was paramount.

The illustrative nature of medical photography has influenced my personal work, which I’m now pursuing, living the dream of capturing ideas. Inspired by my environment and current issues.
