Green circles painted onto Japanese rice paper, painted boards, old paper, and a postcard stamp from South Africa all come together in this piece. I painted the papers and the wood and photographed them, as well as the South African postcard stamp I found in Cambridge, England last week. The weathered elements, the textures, and the colors all seem to relate of my vision of South Africa.

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.
