About Me


..i live on the coast of maine, a craggy, beautiful, tempestuous part of the country that in and of itself lends a bit of dark eeriness to life; quick, lusty summers roll into seemingly endless unforgiving winters. i see the beauty in the harsh elements, in dying foliage, barren limbs, what is left of a flower after the petals have fallen...and i strive to convey that beauty in my work, the dark, mysterious, unforgiving turning of life...so, you will notice that amongst the pleasant colors, images, textures and shapes in the prints i create, there lie shadows and ghosts...the darkness from which things are born and inevitably return to.
my work is a hybrid involving photography, printmaking and digital imaging...i love the idea of holding workshops...if i had anough interested people i will do just that. if you have interest, show it.
i love writing...and have kept a journal since i was 7 years old. so i apologize if i ramble...i have had a lot of practice. i also should warn you, i love stories and have been known to spin a yarn or two...
