ABOUT
When copper is left out in the elements, the bluish-green patina that develops over time (what we normally recognize as “verdigris”) forms a copper carbonate encrustation that preserves the metal, unlike what rust does to ferrous metals. A few year ago, I discovered the amazing world of patina and began experimenting. I fell in love with the myriad patination processes that could be applied to copper. I photograph the processes, edit the photos, and offer the results as scalable high-quality impressionistic and abstract affordable prints. Since one must be careful with the toxic nature of copper oxidation, I turned to photographing the results of my designs, avoiding any client safety concerns.
Thank you for your interest. I hope you will enjoy browsing the collection, which continues to grow all the time.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.” Paul Klee
What I produce engages both my rational and emotional sides, mixing colors with forms in startling ways. For fun, the abstract quality of these prints may be mixed in with hints of reality. I cannot claim total control of all aspects of my work, which means going out on a limb artistically. But that is OK. I gain insight into a never-ending challenge to keep creating what I enjoy and then sharing it with you.
What Our Customers Say
Tim B.
“The colors contained in the print we bought were so interesting and unique. The chemical reactions that help create the color shapes and depth are fascinating. The piece was a fine complement in our home for a year then paid forward to my daughter for her new apartment where she now enjoys it!"
