Impressionist images using digital techniques can emphasize the emotional character of the subject in a way that is more revealing than traditional photography. My style of Photo Impressionism uses special techniques to simplify and intensify the colors and visual planes of the subject. The integrity of the image is preserved, but the colors and textures are enhanced or minimized. The intent is to produce a stronger visual impression that talks to the emotions more than the intellect.

Some of these photographs were shown in exhibits sponsored by the Utah Arts Council, the Springville Museum of Art, the Patrick Moore Gallery, and the Eccles Art Center. The images were produced with a variety of techniques that emphasize the Impressionist style.
