IMPRESSIONIST ART PHOTOGRAPHY

Over sixty five years ago, I started using photography to express my feelings about art. When I attended Brigham Young University, I turned to Photography as a profession, but I still preferred to apply an Impressionistic approach to most of my work. What you will see on this website is the result of that approach applied in varying degrees.

ARTIST STATEMENT: Impressionism, in any form, reveals an expression of feelings more than a portrayal of the subject with perfect detail. To achieve this impressionistic result with my photography, I have used camera manipulation and digital software like an artist's brush to "paint" what I see and feel. This was accomplished by emphasizing or changing the color, texture and/or movement of the photographic image.
