My photographs chronicle what I find visually and intellectually intriguing in the natural world. The common thread across my work is the effect created by the distortion of light, color, and shape created either by ripples in a spring, surface tension around a floating leaf, the convoluted fracturing of a cliff face, or the impurities in a 400-year-old pane of glass.

What’s New - Fractured - October 5 - 31, 2024
For my sixth solo photography exhibition at Archway Gallery, I have expanded on my interest in visual distortion, this time using antique hand-blown glass to provide a new perspective. The project began over ten years ago in The Netherlands when I noticed the fractured and faceted appearance of a local carnival as seen through the 17th-century windows of the Delft City Hall. Inspired, I began capturing more images through original glass windows in other European buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries.
I continued this exploration in Houston with “restoration” glass manufactured in Germany using 400-year-old methods. Designing and building a system for placing this glass between my subjects and the camera lens allowed me to deconstruct still lifes, portraits, musical instruments, Houston cityscapes, political landmarks and more.
