Thanks much for stopping by to check out my journey as a visual artist! If you take a look at my art portfolio, you’ll find an eclectic mix of visual art. I am best known for travel photography, but our world is a beautiful one if we take the time to look! This is the reason my art also includes imagery from dusty country landscapes, urban skylines, and some exotic destinations.
I have long heard that photographers and other visual artists are best served by specializing in a particular subject or niche. Although I’ve thought about that goal often, I’ve found my love of creating memorable pictures resists a narrow focus. Still I believe there is one common theme to be uncovered. I believe that common thread is found in my voice as a visual artist and in my love of creating beautiful images. And if you take a break for a few minutes to enjoy my work, I think that voice and style will be evident in each and every picture.
If you enjoy your taste of my art and photography, I hope that you’ll consider taking advantage of one of the several ways that you can follow my work, including on Facebook, Twitter, and subscribing to my newsletter via e-mail.

I designed those books and covers on my own. This one was very much a collaborative effort with the author. We went through several iterations before arriving at … Continue reading I’ve done an incredibly bad job of delivering updates this year. There, I said it before anyone else had a chance. It’s one of those classic stories of having the best of intentions. Every so often I would think, gosh, I should tell everyone about insert cool news here. On the bad side, there’s probably plenty of really cool stuff I’ll forget to tell, but that likely means a shorter update! See, I knew there was a positive spin in there somewhere. You all know how long-winded I can be. … Continue reading I’ve had this topic bouncing around in the back of my mind for well over a month now, and the topic of visibility in selling art online is a huge one. It’s also not a subject in which I’m remotely claiming expertise, but what I have gleaned over the past years might help other visual artists interested in selling art online and sharing that kind of information can only help us all. Most of my tips for selling art online will be fairly general but some will be with an … Continue reading Wow, I can’t believe we are days away from the end of 2012. What’s more, I can’t believe I’m not traveling somewhere! This will be my first New Years in the US since I rang in 2005 in Edinburgh. Those New Year trips were as near to a holiday tradition as could be, but even before I fell and broke my foot, I didn’t see another New Year abroad coming on the horizon. The inspiration wasn’t there. The money was arguably not there. Breaking my foot was simply the coup … Continue reading First Book Cover!
