I have been selling prints and notecards featuring my photography since the mid 1990s. Then, as now, my subject matter included the landscape of my home state of New Jersey and the Great Southwest. Of course, this was years before digital photography and I had to develop the skill and discipline to capture everything correctly at the moment of exposure. This discipline still serves me with my digital cameras; I strive to get everything right when I press the shutter.

In 2004 I formed Quiet Heart Images and began participating in art shows and craft fairs throughout NJ. Quiet Heart has given me an incredible opportunity to personally connect with buyers of my images and learn what moves and inspires them. Creating a piece of artwork that someone will hang in their home or place of work and see every day is an honor and responsibility I take very seriously.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My artistic mission is to bring images of peace and beauty to a world that is often noisy, confusing and hectic. The ancient Chinese character pronounced "ken", which inspired my name and logo, symbolizes the idea of keeping still and attaining a quiet heart. To create my images, I first find that place of stillness within. When I have found that peaceful center, my work can then lead others to their own quiet heart.

The natural world continues to inspire my work, whether it's the deserts of the American Southwest, the coast of New England, or the undiscovered beauty of my home state of New Jersey.
