Profile
I thrive on creating images that reflect the world within as well as the world outside of myself. I am most compelled to work with constructing photos to present something a bit surreal that draws a viewer in. A little real. . .a little surreal. . . but all of it is inspired, in some way, from my surroundings and my life experiences.
I also create music and poetry and have experimented in just about everything creative at different times of my life.
“Observation put to action is the essence of art”
– charles bukowski
This is the best way I know to extend the world I live in to others. . . an opening. . . a portal to a world I thrive in.
Welcome
I am working towards presenting my future work in galleries, art books, illustrated poetry, multimedia CD’s, music CD’s, performances and collaborative efforts.
All comments welcomed. . .
Live creatively and find the beauty of YOUR world in everything you see. . .

This Is What It's Like
It’s like the shadows on your side / it’s like the cracks in the pavement / It’s like waiting for the sound of thunder
December Eve
The first night it was cold enough / To see my breath / Rhythmically exhaled from the emptiness / Suspended before me / And then / Gone
Harbinger
Sitting in on an illusion so grand / While the movement of a landscape / Erodes the lining of these walls
Don't Speak
This is the alchemy of love: / The seamless gathering of what is and what was / The words within the words
Children Of Antarctica
Many people say they think that children are born into this world a blank canvas / A masterpiece in the works. . . I tend to think the opposite is true
Save a Prayer
This is what it’s like to come undone / To hold back the rain / To land
