My 'soul word' is Freedom - freedom to create, to imagine beyond my conscious mind, freedom from ridicule. Freedom to express, to explore, to expand my belief in all of us. The only barrier between mundane reality and the magical fantasies of our childhood imagination, is permission.
I work on my composites sometimes for years; worry over them, nurture them, scold them then beg their forgiveness - until I absolutely love them.
I am a fine art/conceptual, portrait, fashion and glamour photographer with 30 years behind a lens, exploring the new Age of Art as a mixed media digital artist, defining my vision with surrealism, grandly-bold colors within dreamlike settings....
Presenting my truth: that the world is beautiful.
I'm more than an Alaska-based photographer; I'm an image maker, a coordinator, a director, a story-teller - a creative. I orchestrate juxtapositions of beauty/fashion/fun/fantasy with an incredible wild/brutal landscape or setting. I hope my models slip into them like interesting, glittering jewels.
I don't merely tell a story with my work; I tell most of a story, with myriad possible endings... That's when my viewer and I achieve equal footing - we can't wait to see how it ends. I photograph beautiful women, and create worlds.
