I create photo-realistic imagery that pulls the viewer into a fantasy world that challenges the boundaries of reality and imagination. My process is akin to that of a classical painter in that I start with a sketch and an eidetic visualization every element before I begin. Drawing from my vast personal collection of images taken from travels abroad and near home, I digitally combine photographs to create new and otherworldly landscapes. I then insert a live model and other objects photographed on a green screen in my studio to create a seamless photo-realistic final image. I often see (in mental pictures) a unique quality in those around me and the ones I love, and there is no greater joy than showing someone exactly as I see them. To produce an exact visual representation of the emotion projected in my mind in my ultimate creation. I am constantly asking “what if?” and the whimsical and surreal images I create are a direct answer to my questions. I strive to take my viewers into new and fanciful world inviting them to question what is real and what is not, and challenging them to ask “what if?” as well.
