"You've Gotta Dance" You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth ― William W. Purkey From the Old French - sauver-"keep (safe)"- my visual diary of accidental abstract expressions discovered, saved, and now surely vanished Available in archival print / canvas MY STORY I have returned to Fine Art photography because my soul needed to slow down and appreciate the journey. My new abstract work celebrates the idea that nothing is finished, perfect, or permanent. Instead, imperfections and wear are records of the natural pace of our lives and the wear and freedom that comes with it. The abstract expressionism I have discovered is the reward for my return to watching instead of anticipating. My images reveal the intense emotional and creative bond between my eye, camera and each subject’s hidden potential. I want my audience to get lost in my images’ deep color-soaked surfaces, intricate details, and complex textures accented by dramatic shadows and luminous light. I want viewers to feel they were beside me while I created images just for them. I leave my heart in each image because I believe my images should stir you emotionally, or I have failed. I believe in encouraging others by creating art that projects peace, strength and the healing of our dreams so we can all experience the best within ourselves. Buying art should be a transformational experience that restores peace and positivity in one’s soul. I know that producing that quality of artistic expression and emotional fulfilment requires taking chances, being vulnerable, and risking failure. My successes speak for themselves, but I cordially invite you to explore my inspiring new work in depth to see for yourself.

I have been fortunate to spend my life chasing light to tell stories and fill my creative soul. Today, I continue interpreting images using my signature visual stamp, reducing the subject to its most essential and emotional qualities. I began as a 19-year-old photojournalist, travelling the Formula 1 circuit in the 1970s-80s, documenting the sport and its iconic racing drivers on black-and-white Tri-X film. I searched for “decisive moments,” deliberately disappearing into the background as a “fly on the wall” to reveal the essence of each subject’s heart and soul as they fought long ago to be the best in the world. Those images now appear more contemporary as the years pass. They have been featured in dozens of journals, and these fine art prints are now in private collections worldwide. Along with my editorial/documentary projects, I embraced a wide range of abstract works captured with the same perspective of the decisive moment; I am showing those images for the first time. Most of my abstracts use light, shadow, form and composition as one-of-a-kind transient combinations, with each element aligning to create the frame for only that moment before growth, decay, and natural light move on to their next stages. I aim for these images to suggest new secrets and fresh interpretations each time one is viewed. The PALM BLU collection celebrates both familiarity and surprise. I use the palm's highlights and shadows to create precise graphic frames and then apply subtle light and color manipulation to suggest unrelenting heat, blinding sunlight or a cool evening breeze that transforms the bland into the seductive, the simple into the complex, and the natural into the mystical. My HEAT collection uses infrared processing and exact positioning that visually transforms the relationship between each palm’s dense shadows and bright leaves into a graphic, creating the sense of dark mystery and intense emotion needed for large statement pieces. My TRAVELERS collection employs macro photography of each palm’s one-of-a-kind artistic markings that reveal painterly abstract forms, color-streaked desert landscapes or the allegorical woodblock prints of Hokusai. My EXPRESSIONS, WHISPERS, METAPHOR, SEA SALT and SAUVER collections celebrate the grandeur and wonder of pure found art in accidental forms before natural wear or another human’s hand changes them forever. I also include access to my WAITING Grand Prix historic black and white portraiture collection.
