I am a photographic artist, student of Ansel, in Northern Ca. I like the natural world and do a lot of rocks, landforms and trees…
I am into public art and creating and facilitating street level art outreach programs.

This is a 48” version of that image. I drove for 4+ hours to get to the lost coast and arrived in a rainstorm. I had a really excellent rain coat, hat, plastic bags and compressed air so I was able to function, it was great! I stayed out in the rain for over an hour and got some good shots.

Big Sur…
A magical place where the water struggles against the rock and the bright colored succulents run wild.
Water always wins but it’s a long game.

Little Yosemite Sycamore…
This is at the foot of one of the few functioning waterfalls in the east bay.
Nicely isolated, these trees are usually dense in our watercourses…
