Artist Statement
THE OBJECTIVE OF MY WORK:
I have spent most of my life using motion pictures to explore a wide variety of subjects and then tell a story about those subjects. The scenes I created lasted but a few seconds. For the last 27 years I have been drawn to photography so I can transform the brief duration of a scene and expand it into a lifetime appreciation of a moment. Like most artists I draw upon my life time experiences and delve into subjects that attract my interest. Through my images I hope to enlarge an aspect of the human condition that may not have been considered by the viewer.
MY BACKGROUND:
• For 30 years I have directed commercials and films for America’s largest corporations.
My work has been recognized with, Television Emmy nominations, awards from the Chicago
film festival, the Chicago Director of the year award and the P.R. Directors coveted Gold
Quill award.
• I have been a fine art photographer for the past 27 years.
• Mentored by Chicago Botanical Garden photographer William Biderbost
• Mentored by landscape photographer Ron Harris PHD. Loyola University
• B.S. Communications Southern Illinois University
