Moments Captured in Seoul, South Korea : I was awarded a scholarship to travel to Korea as an agent of change - to help foster better relations between the United States and South Korea.  Using photographs, I educated Koreans that I came in contact with about American culture, and also shared the photos I took in Korea with Americans on my travel blog.

On Golden Ponds : “The technique I use mostly these days, I call Digital Painting, it is based on my longstanding desire to merge painting and photography –15 years ago I was printing black and white images on canvas.  I coated the canvas with silver emulsion, and later tinted and colored them by hand.  It was a laborious and inexact process – but I loved the feeling of the canvas and felt frustrated with the smoothness of the photographic paper.  Today I process my images digitally and have them printed on canvas or watercolor paper through the giclée process.   Although it is still not a perfect process, one which requires several rounds of proofing and color corrections, it is very close to my dream of merging painting and photography into a single art. 

I spend a great deal of time working on individual images, creating numerous layers, erasing, shifting and changing colors; I often end up with several versions of a single image. After they are printed, I finish the pieces with oils, acrylics, pastels, or loose pigments.  I also enjoy further embellishing them with Silver, Gold, or Copper Leaf.
