Being an artist with a background in engineering, I feel I have benefitted from the juxtaposition of analytical and creative processes in my perspective on art. This balance allows for a greater variety of artistic expression, leading to a range from surreal and even op art-like to painterly works. I use technology to heighten the magical qualities of vision. The digital camera is one of the instruments I use to capture both the ordinary and extraordinary events I perceive. The digital darkroom allows me to present my impression of these moments in time. My work comes from a traditional photographic construct but I also alter certain works to magnify and focus a feeling, mood or sense of wonder. This same approach applies to my newer all digital works but the instrument I use is not a camera but a computer and specialized software.
