I am an abstract digital photographer. Every image I make is accomplished on my iPhone, from the initial photo through manipulating it using various apps and layering. My improvisations lead me to discover rich colors, shapes, and textures, resulting in often-painterly images. In choosing of late to celebrate the vast and eclectic cosmos of flowers, I create what I like to call “hallucinatory blooms of the imagination.”

I primarily make art to entertain myself, and feel intensely fortunate when I excite others with my work. I want the viewer to become my collaborator, to embark together on a visual adventure to see the unseen.

My tastes are stimulated by an eclectic spectrum of artists from an array of art forms, eras, and genres, whose works inspire me to make art.

After a long, rich life collaborating in film, music, and especially theater (principally as a sound designer in NYC), I have turned to photography as my primary means of creativity. Now past the age of 70, I feel very much the proverbial late bloomer, like a modern-day Grandma Moses.

My abstract flora images make for an oasis of peace and creativity, as they refresh my aspirations for a very troubled world.
