ABOUT THE IMAGE

techniques that resembled collage and painting. An extensive
project, examining the practice of landscape and still life
in contemproary art today, was modeled on this first image.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The computer and Photoshop are my sole mediums to create images that are the
basis for three ongoing series of works -- Planets, Islands, and Still Lifes.
Employing techniques that resemble collage and painting by "borrowing" pixels
of color from images found on the Internet using search engines, I entirely
absent my use of the camera from the artistic process. My photographs honor
Nature while celebrating Technology, an important concern for me in an age
when humans are struggling to find a balance with the planet that sustains
them. Through my art, I have found a way to showcase Nature's all-encompassing
beauty while at the same time expressing my genuine concern for its preservation
and safety.
