Artist Bio:
Photography is one of those technological miracles, that has become second nature to us,
and we take for granted. How amazing is it that we can absolutely freeze a magical moment?
As a visual artist it is mesmerizing and often humbling, as we try for a perfect photo.
Or even worse, it makes us feel that we can end our quest, because we will never capture
a photo as good as the last one. It defeats us, when we miss a shot by a fraction of a second,
and we can only visualize an uncaptured scene, in our minds eye, never to be shared with
another person. With cell phones, it is a part of everyday life and becomes electrifying when
it grants us those rare moments, when not only do we see a subject, but are empowered to hold
and maybe treasure that fleeting moment in time, forever.
I always look for scenes that are different from what you might normally see.
This collection includes some unique photographic art that includes thought provoking
pieces: what it looks like to have a Prairie Fire advancing towards you, artifacts of
abandoned human existence, and the strength of colours in Seeing Red and Golden Tree.
Previously exhibited have been: a fire breathing horse, a floating water polo team,
the mystery of a disappearing railway car, and an answer to the question of whether
“the grass is greener on the other side of the fence”.
