The CUBIST MONTAGES include a collection on STILL LIFE images, musical INSTRUMENTS and an ongoing series of nudes, LES INCONNUS.

WATERCOLORS is a collection of ephemeral “rainscapes” - an interplay between water, reflections, cobblestones and streets.

WINDOW FRAMES present a fascinating contrast between windows and reflections contrasted against their surroundings. An interplay of reflections on open and closed windows, framing contradictory and confusing subjects.

MINIMALS explores the power of simplicity. To reduce a subject down to an essence, simple geometric shapes, stripped of metaphor, repre- sentation and metaphysics.

PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE- A work in progress, where a mysterious white clad figure appears with a white parasol oblivious to everything other than what is directly in front of her gaze and completely uninterested on what lies behind.

The website also features concert images of artists photographed performing live from around the world.
