Here are a few pieces from the series entitled Biophilia, it is my sassy love song to this living place I now call home. It is not really my desire to take pretty nature pictures; the image capture is a caching of source materials. The real work and exploration is in the layering of  multiple images together and making them work visually. These pieces are celebrations, works of joy, amazement, love and respect for the environment, the home in which I live. They are digital photographs layered and pieced together in a digital process that is part darkroom, part paint and part scissors and glue. The brilliant color is the result of the layering of the original images and sometimes the odd painted layer. The colors—their combinations unexpected, subtle or fierce—are what interest me most and what drive the images. My intent for these pieces is to provoke a pleasure response like walking under a maple tree in October—brilliant red leaves above filtering the light and covering the ground, reflecting unexpected color pleasure from retina to brain. If that pleasure triggers interest in, respect for or comradeship with the living subject  matter, so much the better.
