I originally photographed this roof tile end cap in Kyoto, Japan and loved the look. It’s an emblem called a “kamon,” similar to a family crest. This one is a sacred crest, traditionally found on shrines or temples.

A mixed-media piece, this one consists of my photograph along with a variety of my hand-painted papers and some Japanese calligraphy. I particularly like the yin/yang vibe that’s created by using warm golden colors and cooler blue colors.

I'm a photographer, writer, educator based on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.
