About me: As a kid I played with clay and painted and built electronics among other things. After high school I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering along with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting, both at the UW. Although in the school of painting I mainly focused on life sculpture and foundry (metal casting) work.
Being in both the Art and Engineering school was quite interesting and in a way a lot the same, they all came down to creativity, creativity was so visible everywhere. I have been writing software for many years while taking photographs during travels and drawing and sculpting when time permitted.
In 2018 I left my engineering profession and have time to get back to my first passion which is in the fine arts arena! Figurative sculpture, drawing and ... photography. I am quite sure my painting studies affected my preferences in photography processing.
Photographs on this site are some of my favorites, I have sold a number of them, a few are limited editions. They look great as wall decorations. Many are just recently available since changing professions, and having time for processing them the way I want them. Many of them are HDR panoramas made from well over 20 or more separate photos.
In 2023 I had the honor of being invited to have a show in Bulgaria at the Varna City Gallery/Museum and now have several pieces in their museum collection. In 2024 I will be having a show in France near St Flour. I have donated prints to local benefits and have had images displayed and sold at the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Angeline Spa, Toro Lounge and Lisa Stirrett Glass Art Studio, Emilia Home Goods, Monica’s Bakery in Silverdale, Black Bird Bakery on Bainbridge and at McGavins in Bremerton!
