When I first began creating photographs, my images were solely landscapes and portraits; however, a few years ago, I began experimenting with and creating abstract images which now comprise the greatest part of my work. I have found the technique that I use, photographing fabric which I have manipulated into various shapes, a totally magical and absorbing process. I am continually amazed by the number of shapes and forms one can discern in a piece of folded fabric. The resulting abstracts always remind me that in everything, no matter how mundane or simple, there is always an extraordinary element simply waiting to be found and appreciated. Because of the abstract nature of my most recent images, I encourage each viewer to allow his/her own "voice" to inform and inspire their viewing of these photographs.
