“This painting is based on a small drawing of my front yard in Land Park. I was given a challenge to make a drawingusing only analogous colors. I chose blue, green and yellow, but I didn’t want to use blue for the sky. It was fun mixing all the values and variations.”

“In 2018, my youngest daughter Ajia was in a terrible car accident that led to two brain surgeries and, consequently, a shaved head. I wanted to take a traumatizing moment and turn it into a more positive perspective by having her pose with those flowers covering her shaved head. This picture represents a celebration of recovery and health instead of a dark memory.”

“This is an image I took outside with natural lighting using the multiple exposure feature in my Nikon Z7. Multiple exposure takes two images and combines them in the camera. I used an art lens with manual focus by Lensbaby.”
