Flower Essences: Specimen Images (4 pictures)
If eyes are the windows to the soul, then the healing vibrations of flower essences can propagate along lines of sight, carrying the flowers' restorative energies to the viewers of these images. Intimate floral portraits suitable for personal contemplation and home decoration illustrate healing plants selected from the Bach and California flower essence therapies. This set is a work in progress: check back often to see the latest entries in this photographic collection.

Tessellated Nature (3 pictures)
Inspired by William Morris's nature-themed designs for wallpaper, tapestries, book illuminations, etc., and by the elaborate ornamentation of Moroccan zellige tilework, I create surface design mosaics from "tiles" cut from my original digital photographs of leaves, vines, flowers, and other natural subjects. Repeating, reflecting, gliding: I use familiar patterning techniques to assemble decorative art, looking for motifs that surprise my perception and delight my fancy. Not every emergent pattern “sings” to me. The ones that do often offer design complexity that activates the imaginative capacity of human visual perception to see illusions of familiar, meaningful objects and shapes: pareidolia. Sometimes, changing the design colors bequeathed by the original photographic tile helps to highlight these illusory perceptions. Sometimes, I manipulate pattern hues just to find a more pleasing color palette. Yet, whatever image tessellating and editing I do, I see myself as less a creator and more an explorer, searching for the aesthetic beauty Nature has hidden among its infinite forms.

From my home in Hawthorne, Nevada, USA, I travel near and far to specialize in nature and landscape photography. My subjects range from urban garden features to wildlife and wilderness in the American west to my travel encounters in other regions and countries. I create images that use vision to stimulate the viewer's rejuvenating connection to the natural world and human experience.
