Inspired by the Tao Te Ching and Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden, these scroll like composite landscapes offer a meditation on places I have known and loved.

Each image is composited from as many as 6 different photographs taken years a part that are then recombined into a harmonious composition.

“For me this art is about expressing the wisdom that comes from a multitude of experiences. When you look back at the memories, they all seem connected to form powerful meaning to our life“

  • Composite black and white photograph modeled after a chinese landscape painting. This is a composite image that combines elements from six photographs starting with the lake in the foreground, the flock of geese in a low cloud, and a mountain and river scene leading up to a snowy peak.
