Artist Biography
Born in 1966, Queens County NY, Photography began in 1987 while an undergraduate at SUNY Fredonia under the tutelage of Terry Lindquist; a student of Minor White, Ralph Hattersley, Charles Arnold, and Beaumont Newhall at RIT.
She died on the day I was born.
Her angel looked upwards
From the paper and stone.
And questions became nonsense.
I am fortunate if an image evokes feelings
independent of the subject. A presence can be revealed within an image
that before was not recognized. What follows is the realization that the
presence is in the viewer. The aspects of the
image has revealed something about the viewer and their being. When you look away nothing is lost,
the presence remains.
The aspects of an image are the deeply familiar, the commonness of being that
is rarely noticed above the din of daily life and is impossible to articulate. Turn your head away
and nothing is lost;
the spirit of the image is recognized.
