My photography runs the gamut from representational to surreal. I believe the true subject of the photograph is not the physical world, but rather the subconscious mind of the photographer. My fascination with the natural world, particularly anatomy and biology, led me to study the medical arts and become a practicing Orthopedic Hand Surgeon. However, as retirement approached, I returned to my childhood passion for photography, which I had previously explored with my father in the days of film photography. 

I studied at The Philadelphia Photo Art Center (now TILT) and became the first student to earn their Contemporary Practices Photography Certificate, allowing me to hone my skills and develop my unique approach to abstract and surrealist photography. I aim to create dreamlike imagery that challenges the viewer's perception of reality.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to challenge the
viewer's perspective and encourage them to see the
world in a new light. Whether it be through the use of
metaphor, absurdity, or beauty, I hope to provoke
thought and spark the imagination, inviting viewers to
delve deeper into the surreal landscape of their minds.
