As a Colorado native, I strive to show viewers the beauty of nature's natural resources.
I love enhancing the light, colors, shadows, and textures which appear in and around subjects I photograph to etch.
I hope each person viewing my etched photography, will gain a greater respect and appreciation for the natural world around them.
I believe the following words of Henry Ward Beecher apply to myself as a fine art photographer:
"Every artist dips his brush into his soul, and paints his own nature into his paintings."

This etched photo was complex to create. My goal was to almost completely eliminate the photo, so that the majority of the piece was my etching

I was impressed by the uniqueness and intricacy of these orchids. I left a lot of the photo intact and only etched parts I felt would enhance what nature so nicely created.

In this etching my goal was to bring out the depth and the many lines of the lilies and foliage. I purposely etching in more detail, in hopes it would draw the viewers eye around the entire etching.
