I have always been inspired by strong design elements and my work regularly incorporates this approach. I recently started working with various photo and art tools using images taken to transform them from reality into a more elemental and at times, more complex representational likeness. The images in this portfolio are the result of that set of processes, which are in a constant state of revision and growth.

A Study in Red #5
I have always been inspired by strong design elements and my work regularly incorporates this approach. This image was modified from one of my photographs to transform it from reality into a more elemental and at times, more complex representational likeness.
