I’m honored to have one of my pieces selected for inclusion in this year’s Naked in New Hope exhibit at Sidetracks Gallery in New Hope, PA.  “The Other Side” is one of my favorite images and has been well received.

Simple objects can be used in very interesting ways. Much of my work over the years has been and will continue to be minimalistic and simple, however I’ve recently developed an interest in introducing objects.  Introducing objects or elements presents challenges exploring and finding ways to connect them with the nude form in meaningful ways. The shape, tones and textures all play a key role in selecting them for inclusion.  It’s fairly obvious that what the object is also plays a key role.  I don’t believe that one can introduce any object and make it effective. I will explore and experiment with different objects but only those that I feel are successful will make the cut. I strongly encourage exploration as it can and will help in reaching deeper creative depths.

I’m quite satisfied with these three images in that they all incorporate the same object while telling very different stories.

We all face obstacles as we navigate through life, some more difficult than others. I believe it important to confront them, face them and show the strength to overcome them.
