Mixed Media

My Process

Original photography developed on archival paper or canvas and then enhanced with acrylic paint directly on the paper or canvas. All pictures are considered to be original.

My Inspiration

Nature and light as well as landmarks. I look to nature for the beauty of the season and utilize light to add to the composition, albeit shadows or sunbeams. Generally the places and landmarks I feature are located within the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina areas.

Fun Facts

Painting directly on the photo allows me to "get rid" of things in the image that I don't like or want. Almost like Photoshop, old school!
