Shades and Shadows Canvas Print

Abstract image featuring textures created through Flaming Pear's India Ink and Flexifly filters. Deep in the foundation of the manipulations is a fragment of Floyd Elzinga's metal mountain sculpture. That's how those lovely lines are formed in the image.

Curiosity and wonder are precious. The visual world gives us a lot of opportunity to experience these. I look for something new to discover and explore in the ordinary. Typically it is a flower, a garden, rust or peeling paint - I am an opportunistic photographer who likes spontaneity and discovery. I am a gardener and photographer living in Grimsby in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula, amongst vineyards and orchards, and of course, the great Niagara Escarpment which makes Niagara Falls. I'd like my photographs and digital art to help you see in ways not seen before so that you experience a sense of wonder and have an enriched understanding of this world - this precious planet.
