Photography as a medium for making Art captured my interest in art school in the 70s when it was not considered "Art"; thus those of us impassioned with it were often self-taught. They told us to 'make a statement' and photography being of the world around us was often indeed already making a statement, edited through the lens.
I saw paintings everywhere through the lens and I still scan the environment for images daily, as well as experimenting with scanners and digital programs and finding stories at home as well. Color, shapes, composition and some inherent projected meaning or narrative drive me. Always Looking.
