Drawing and painting are tactile hands-on mediums providing an infinite range of texture, color, and means of personal expression.
Photography is an ‘explicit’ medium using a mechanical tool and light to capture and record what exists in the ‘real’ world. My photo-paintings combine the explicit (the photograph) with the implicit (the feeling inherent in the subject expressed through drawing and painting). The results, as I see them, are images which offer the best of both worlds and the processes involved in their creation are always a creative and technical challenge.
