ARTIST STATEMENT
Photography, for me, is the art of precision and the pursuit of beauty. My journey behind the camera spans more than 45 years, beginning with a career as a commercial photographer serving a wide range of clients - from manufacturing companies and product designers to furniture makers, advertising firms, and artists. That work demanded a mastery of lighting, composition, and technical control, and it taught me to see the world with both discipline and intention.
Over time, that deep foundation in craft evolved into a more personal practice. Today, my work is no longer about meeting a client's brief, but about expressing how I see and feel the world around me. My approach remains rooted in craftsmanship - from capturing the image to creating the finished print. Working with a large-format printer in my studio, I oversee every step of the process, ensuring each piece embodies both precision and emotional depth.
Growing up in Newtown and now based in Danbury, I draw inspiration from the landscapes, textures, and quiet moments that shape the world around me. My photographs aim to reveal beauty in the familiar - transforming ordinary scenes into images that invite reflection and connection. Through my work, I hope viewers experience the same sense of wonder I feel behind the lens: a reminder that beauty is always present, waiting to be seen with intention and care.
ABOUT THE GALLERY AT STILL RIVER EDITIONS
The Gallery at Still River Editions has hosted national and regional photographers and artists since 1989. In spring 2011, after a brief hiatus from exhibiting new work, the gallery returned to hosting up to four exhibitions a year. The Gallery's mission is to show traditional and digital prints of photographs and fine artwork, and to be a center of creativity and connection in the Danbury area.
The Gallery at Still River Editions is open during normal business hours 8:30 am - 5 pm Monday through Friday, and during posted hours for special events. The Gallery does not accept unsolicited submissions at this time.
