ARTIST STATEMENT
"The human form has intrigued me form early on. I find the multi-faceted nature of the nude rather intoxicating. While loving the form and texture of the figure, I'm drawn to an even deeper level of discovery by uncovering nuances from one body to another.

With that said, I find the continuum from nude to naked fair game. As an artist, I have always been fascinated with the distinction between sin and innocence; femininity and masculinity; sensuality and erotica. My work demonstrates an aesthetic in classical, vintage and modern styles which transcend time and space. As all artists, my work is autobiographical and sheds light on my own sexual psyche as each image emerges.





While most of my images are captured on film, I process them in both a darkroom and digital environment. The darkroom prints are processed using various types of toners and then hand painted. My black and white, and color prints are also digitally printed utilizing Piezographic and color pigment technology. Piezography inks approximate the visual impact of the photo-intaglio print or platinum/palladium image and allow me to achieve those effects in my own work. In addition, the richness and variety of textures in the watercolor/inkjet papers available draw me in. The union of figure, color and paper is the ultimate expression of my work. "
