|  | My interest
    in art is focused on the traditional and classical painters and
    photographers. As I studied photography, it soon became clear
    that the early processes where technique and hands-on crafts
    was what I loved to do. The early pictorial images were where
    my attention turned. These kinds of images lead me to learn alternative
    processes. After seeing my first Bromoil print, I knew this method would give me the control over the image I desired in my work. It had the ability to change the traditional effects of an image to a modern expressive print. Most of my work is a form of fantasy. I try to place things a step away from reality in to a world were you can be anything you want to be. |
