Selected Work

A deliberate sequence of 14 works drawn from all four collections. The ordering moves from human presence, through place and close observation, to interpretation and abstraction — the same arc the archive follows as a whole. This page is intended to be read as a digital exhibition rather than a catalogue.

  1. A young person sits quietly against a moss-covered tree trunk in a dim green forest, absorbed in thought, dappled light falling across the scene

    Forest Portrait

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 30 × 40 in (76 × 102 cm)

    An environmental portrait in which the forest is not a backdrop but a participant. The sitter is held in dappled available light, absorbed in thought rather than performing for the camera.

  2. A monochrome close study of an elderly person's weathered face in dramatic side light, deep shadows, dignified quiet expression

    Grayscale Portrait

    2023 · Archival pigment print from digital capture, monochrome · 24 × 30 in (61 × 76 cm)

    A portrait rendered in black and white, where tonal range and texture become the primary language. The face emerges through light and shadow, revealing character through restraint rather than color.

  3. A deep red pedestrian bridge emerges from thick blue-gray forest mist in the Pacific Northwest, quiet and cinematic

    Red Bridge Through the Mist

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 40 × 60 in (102 × 152 cm)

    A red bridge surfaces out of coastal fog and dissolves back into it. One saturated color carries the entire composition against a field of blue-gray silence.

  4. A forest path with golden light filtering through tall trees, mist behind, ferns and roots lining the trail

    Sunlit Forest Path

    2023 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 36 × 48 in (91 × 122 cm)

    Morning light moving through a forest corridor. The path functions as an invitation — the eye walks into the frame and keeps going.

  5. A solitary tree reflected symmetrically in still water at dusk, graded in violet and lavender tones, mirror-perfect reflection

    Violet Tree Mirror

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture with selective color grading · 30 × 40 in (76 × 102 cm)

    A mirrored tree at dusk, shifted into violet through selective grading. Landscape photography positioned one step from abstraction.

  6. An autumn forest trail glowing with amber and rust foliage, low warm sunlight, fallen leaves on the path

    Autumn Forest Glow

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 36 × 48 in (91 × 122 cm)

    Low autumn sun turns a woodland trail into a corridor of amber and rust. Seasonal change treated as light rather than subject.

  7. A dramatic magenta peony in full open close-up against a dark teal shadowed background, painterly light on saturated petals

    Magenta Peony Study

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 30 × 30 in (76 × 76 cm)

    The close crop removes all context, making the peony monumental. The magenta-and-teal pairing is the most confident color statement in the botanical series.

  8. Extreme close-up of a magenta blossom with a single dew droplet, shallow depth of field, dark moody background

    Magenta Bloom Close-Up

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 30 × 30 in (76 × 76 cm)

    A magenta blossom isolated by shallow focus and a darkened field. Color as the only event in the frame.

  9. A small black ant traverses the bright white petals of a daisy in extreme close-up, crisp focus, soft green background

    Ant on Daisy

    2023 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 20 × 20 in (51 × 51 cm)

    A small encounter: an ant crossing white petals, photographed at a scale that turns an unnoticed minute into an event.

  10. Rusted orange autumn leaves scattered over gray gravel and a weathered rusted metal surface, a study of texture and decay

    Rust Garden

    2023 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 24 × 24 in (61 × 61 cm)

    Leaves and rust share a palette, and decay becomes pattern. A study in the textures that weather leaves behind.

  11. An abandoned machine in a forest overgrown with moss, ferns and creeping vines, moody green light

    Nature Reclaims Technology

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 40 × 50 in (102 × 127 cm)

    A discarded machine overtaken by moss and vines. The conceptual premise is stated plainly: organic growth absorbing the constructed world, frame by frame.

  12. A symmetrical glass building facade reflecting a red brick building and a small walking human figure, strong red-and-blue color relationship

    Architectural Reflections

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 30 × 40 in (76 × 102 cm)

    Glass holds a red brick building and one walking figure in perfect symmetry — architectural scale, human narrative, and a red-blue color relationship in a single frame.

  13. Sculptural plumes of crimson and violet colored smoke against a black background, painterly flowing forms

    Sculptural Smoke Fire

    2023 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 36 × 48 in (91 × 122 cm)

    Colored smoke behaving like sculpture: crimson and violet forms that exist for a few seconds and are fixed permanently.

  14. A neon-lit city train passing at night with streaks of warm light, rain-slicked reflections, deep blue palette with amber highlights

    Neon City Transit

    2024 · Archival pigment print from digital capture · 30 × 45 in (76 × 114 cm)

    A night train reduced to light streaks on rain-slicked surfaces — the city read as motion and color rather than geography.
