ARTIST'S STATEMENT
In these galleries, you'll see a variety of mediums and subjects. I've been working on some pieces for years, while others were completed after a few hours. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you connect with some of the work.
So how does an artist know when a work is completed? American photographer Paul Caponigro eloquently summed up my own feelings when he was asked this same question:
"Of all my photographs, the ones that have the most meaning for me are those I was moved to make from a certain vantage point, at a certain moment and no other, and for which I did not draw on my abilities to fabricate a picture, composition-wide or otherwise. You might say that I was taken in ... I have always felt after such experiences that there was no more than myself involved. It is not chance. It happens often. In looking back at a particular picture and trying to recall the experience that led to it, that inexplicable element is still present. I have no other way to express what I mean, other than to say that more than myself is present."
