Between my greenhouse, yard, and every window of my house, I raise thousands of plants. Cacti and succulents join orchids, bromilliads, Japanese maples and hibiscus in sharing our home Photographing the plants I grow in the light I know, I strip off the veneer of casual observation. Up close and personal, my images offer an intensely intimate view into a rarely seen world.

By turning sunlight into chemical energy, plants are the life that make all other life possible. Both as a symbol of life, as well as some of the most spectacular examples of life, plants ofter serve as a basis for metaphor in my work. Fierce spines contrast with delicate flowers. Many of the the bizarre plants forms of the desert incongruously look like animal forms from the sea.

Please browse the galleries and enjoy your visit to my site. If I can help you in any manner, please feel free to contact me me.
