I have been a working artist since 1973. During the first part of my career, I was a fine art photographer using large format cameras, making platinum and palladium prints (two non-silver processes). In the late ‘80’s, I began working in more traditional media, eventually receiving my MFA in painting and printmaking.
My 25-year retrospective “Flanders Fields” in 2019 was based on the poems of the British “Trench Poets” of World War I. After the show at the Delaware Contemporary, I decided to return to photography for a change of pace. The COVID lockdown gave me a chance to pause and to remember the pleasure I had always taken making photographs during that first phase of my career.
In November, 2022 I had a one person show entitled “Flowers…Flowers…Flowers…flowers.” I thought that after the epidemic and being unable to do so many activities with friends, we needed something of pure beauty in which to revel.
I continue to work in pastel as well and am exhibiting some abstract landscapes with Demetra Panidis in February 2023.
