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 grows all the time.
