I knew I wanted to create SOMETHING for this year's winter solstice, but (as usual) I had no plan. So I just began bringing photos together to see what I could find, and maybe something would show up to sort of lead me along. The winter solstice makes me want to be quiet, to reflect, to wind down, to rest, so I used warm brown and ochre colors, scratched metal, an owl from a U.S. postage stamp, some photos of my own painting attempts, and snuck in an Egyptian hieroglyphic or two. I put pale blue around the edges to make the warmer colors really stand out. Hope you like it!

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.
