ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

Welcome to "MY AMERICANA", An exhibition of photography and digital art that captures the essence of America through my eyes. This showcase features a collection of visual artwork that explore the multifaceted identity of America, from its vibrant cities to its breathtaking landscapes and some of the people who inhabit them. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

I was born in Chicago and raised in Southern California, I am a husband, father of two and a photographer and digital artist. I go where the wind and fate take me, especially throughout the Pacific Northwest, always with an eye on unsuspecting moments that can be captured through my lens and brought to vivid life via digital means. 

A main driving force force is my desire to create is travel. It has been a huge influence in my creative life. The people, the places, and the myriad of difference between them, were intimately involved in my love affair with photography. Another huge influence are color and texture. Both can convey a time, a place and a feeling. I have an overwhelming need to keep them as very close and personal friends of mine. 

Along with the actual capture, I'm in my happy place when manipulating images using different textures, varying tones, filters and degrees of saturation and vibrance. I invite you to share in the moments and the scenes I have captured and frozen in time. My present collection is on mediums of metal, glass, canvas, and fine paper of varying textures. 

I currently live in Poulsbo with my wife, Amy and my two children, Gracie and Gus.
