Photography & Digital Art

This art of "painting with light" turns a concept or idea into a two dimensional image.   Even though what is depicted in their photographs is "real," the work of these artists reflects their very personal and unique artistic expression..

Since moving to Grass Valley 6 years ago, photography has become a great passion to me.  I am a photographer with a passion for many types of photography.  I’ve always enjoyed landscapes and nature before I got into photography.   

​The type of photography I like are landscapes, nature, old architecture, black & white and night photography.  I have been fortunate to have learned from many great photographers in the area and made some great friends along the way.  Photography is a continuous journey of learning and trying new techniques.  Since becoming a photographer, I view things a lot differently and have a great appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis.  So, I do my best to capture the beauty and express it to others the way I see it through my photography.  I love to travel, do road trips and hiking with my camera in hand to take others on my adventures with me through my photos.

I always loved photographs that capture the mood of the moment.  Whether it is freezing a scene of daily life or capturing the light on the beach, my goal is to share the moment. 
My interest in photography started in my twenties and quickly evolved into two distinct branches.  Through an interest in costumed portraiture I became enamored of historical photographs that gave me a glimpse into times past.  For 30 years I have been collecting and restoring vintage photographs. I search for images that are historically interesting as well as wonderful photos that are evocative of the times, the oft forgotten treasures that transport you back in time.  I love seeing peoples’ reactions to these views of the past whether they bring back memories or create a newfound interest in our heritage.

I have also sought to capture the mood of my own time.  When I view the world with my camera in hand, I almost feel transported and become involved in details that I would normally be too distracted to see.  I seek to capture those details, moments, moods and if I can give you even a taste of this experience, I have succeeded.
