While I was studying painting, drawing, interior design, and architecture as an undergraduate, I took several courses in photography and film. Over the years I have continued to take photos and recently I've had a renewed interest in video and film. Many of the subjects and themes that I photograph can also be found in my paintings. Also, while I take photos as fine art pieces in their own right, I find photography to be a very useful way to create reference materials for my paintings and other artwork. There are a wide range of subjects that I enjoy working with but in particular I am interested in natural science (fossils, geography, anatomy, plants, animals, etc.), archaeology, natural and urban environments, and architecture. I like the look of structures, such as buildings and bridges but also bones and skeletal structures or the branches of a tree. I find that many subjects can look interesting depending on the composition or color so despite returning to some of my favorites again and again, I’m always searching for something new to explore.
