I was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1960. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Southern Methodist University in 1982 and my master’s in architecture from Clemson University in 1990. Over my thirty-five years in architecture, I’ve loved exploring how color, light, and shadow dance together. While I was at Clemson, I found that black-and-white photography could tell a story through shades of gray. I found inspiration not just in the final image but also in the way it looked on a contact sheet. In the early 2000s, I started playing with how photography changes our view of the world. Those early pieces used simple computer edits to show how everyday landscapes could be seen in a fresh way. My style has evolved to blend my architectural background with photography into something I hope feels truly engaging. I began using simple shots of cityscapes and buildings from my travels, letting light suggest energy and motion. The story in each photo and the textures within it are meant to pull you into the scene. I aim to offer a playful but thoughtful look at my subjects, inviting you to see them in a new light. With every piece, I’ve taken inspiration from individual images to create what I call Transformational Composites.
