The natural image of a rhododendron blossom is used as a background. The digital photograph was taken on a cool spring afternoon with occasional light rain showers. A kaleidoscopic motif made from cropped elements of the original are added to create the finished composition. The artwork is decorative by design with the idea of using the decorative elements in a creative way. The intention is to present to the viewer an alternative way to look at the natural environment. There are many things that generally go unnoticed because of limits in perceptual abilities. Many of these limitations have survival value because they help mental processes to focus. It is an averaging technique used by the brain. The techniques used in the artwork restructure visual information in a way that provides a different way to look at common everyday things in an aesthetically pleasing way.

I think it's possible that beauty can save the world. Then will come a time when civility, reason and respect will replace fear, loathing and mad dog greed. Art will be life and life will be art. That's where I come in. I'm an artist. I promote beauty and creativity with an open mind and a love of nature. My imagery is built around a concept. After a central idea is established I explore possibilities within a set of creative and aesthetic parameters. From my perspective visual art is idea, expression, experience and process fused to create a perceptual synergy.
Nature has always played an important role in my art. In the late seventies and early eighties it was the focal point of several commissioned installations in Seattle and Chicago. During the next two decades or so landscape painting and drawing were my primary areas of interest. The work was exhibited in minor venues in Washington and Hawaii.
It was in 2005 when I bought my first computer and digital camera. The initial attraction was the speed that imagery could be produced. It was exciting to work at the speed of idea where the time span between concept and image was short. What followed has been a nonstop process of photography and editing. Presented here is an assortment of images that are a visual record of that activity.
