Conceptual abstract photography on the expression of light / photons, for me a form of reverence. This is duo is also formed from light reflections on metal.

I’m also inspired by my ongoing studies bothContinue reading “Star Core I & II by Studio Shangri-La”

My latest mixed media in progress is titled “Fabricate::Recreate.” It’s a large 6’x3’x2” double repurposed, terraced canvas.

The title also refers to the re-cyclicalContinue reading “Fabricate::Recreate — Mixed Media In The Studio”
