THE MAKING OF THE LANDSCAPE   Thank you for visiting my website! Here is a glimpse behind-the-scenes of how I create the landscapes.  It is all hands-on, building from my imagination with various materials like paper mâché, tree branches, baby powder, clay, cotton, etc.  After constructing the landscape, I photograph it as a still-life, paying attention to lighting, composition, story and mood. To evoke thoughts, give scale and life to my creations, I photograph real people with the same lighting then montage them into the landscape image.

WINTER WOODS   In this scenario, I wanted to create a cold, foggy, wintery landscape.  I decided to use dead branches I pulled from a tree in my neighborhood.  The landscape I wanted cold and barren with a person peering from behind one of the trees, timid-like with a sense of searching.

GREEN ROLLING HILLS  I started with a base of paper mâché, then topped with plaster.  Afterwards, I painted and sprinkled green powder over the top.
