    • Landscape in Memories and Dreams

    ​I began experimenting with photo manipulation in the early 1970's. Technology hadn't achieved the level I needed to capture the specific content I wanted, but I made do with film and color xerox prints made into a collage by hand. Once digital files were the norm my work exploded into a new narrative direction since color, texture, photography and my scanned original watercolor images could be combined in ways that brought life to imaginary and interpretive reality based landscapes.
