Artist Statement:
"My images are
photographic by origin and
impressionist by presentation.
Some are enhanced with
special digital techniques to
create an imagery of feelings
rather than precision. This approach
produces a
sense of vibrancy that cannot be achieved with
traditional photography. The
resulting images portray reality
while adding an ambience of
emotion that transcends realism
to reveal what the
eye and heart sees beyond the camera record --
you could say, this is an approach to art using photography"
--
Don O. Thorpe

Some of the
