Artist Statement
Often it is not what is said but how it is said that makes a photograph successful. Luminosity, atmosphere, poetry, craftsmanship, joy, life, cats, vegetables and frequently the side of my thumb - These are the cast of characters in my photographs. Most artists use light, color and design to express what they want to say about the objects in their paintings, I do just the opposite in my work. I use subject matter - apples, flowers, trees, mountains, portraits and cats - to explore the possibilities of light and space and poetry and cats. Some artists photograph prose, some photograph poetry, some photograph themselves in fantastic costumes, some photograph their cats (but not my cats). There are artists who feel the more details they photograph, the more accurately they describe something, the more successful their photographs will be. Others, like myself, prefer to express things in the most elegant way possible: with cats. Some artists photograph facts, some photograph metaphor. I photograph cats, sometimes.
