My prints and the stories behind them

Each and every composition has a story to tell and a deep connection to me. Some emotionally, some spiritually, and often both. They are not photographic pieces but individual art compositions that resonate with how I see and engage my surroundings. Read and enjoy the stories behind each composition.

You can purchase a print or download a digital copy of any of my compositions with confidence. I built this website using my 20+ years of experience as a professional web designer to incorporate the most intuitive shopping experience and the very latest in online security.

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.Leonardo da Vinci
