Finding The Spark – Sparks Lake, OR
I’m honored to have been selected for today’s artist feature on ArtsyShark. Please have a look to see a few of my favorite images from the last few years, as well as to learn about what keeps me creating as an artist.
All images featured in that post are now available in Limited Edition Pearl Prints through my Artfinder Store. These premium prints are made using traditional RA-4 chemistry on specialty photo paper that is embedded with pearly mica crystals. This process creates a nearly 3-dimensional visual experience of extreme tonal range, color saturation, and sharp detail, all in an archival print medium. Offered in editions of 50 prints, they are big, expensive, and worth every penny.

I’m very honored to be featured in this way, and I hope you will reach out to me if you have any questions after reading the feature.
Here’s another great blog about healing art.

Yet to be titled: Sunset over the valley in Yosemite National Park
“In Memory”
Please come say hello!
We had only one day in Canyonlands National Park, and not even a full day thanks to some car trouble, but it was still a place with sights to take our breath away.
The sun pokes through over an epic landscape in Canyonlands National Park
We were blessed with some interesting clouds in the sky to balance the incredible rock formations, though we didn’t get the colorful sunset I was hoping for.
This puddle proved the perfect mirror to reflect the sky as I waited for sunset in Canyonlands National Park.
This is definitely a place I would return to on another trip, with a bit more time to look around.
Although Mesa Arch is known as a sunrise destination, it’s quite an impressive structure at any time of day.
No, we didn’t have time to visit Dead-Horse Point on our way to Canyonlands, but we heard good things. But that reminds me! Your chance to get 25% off of images from this trip is nearly over. The pre-sale storefront will be open until I have finished going through all of my photos and am ready to fulfill the original pre-sale orders (which is admittedly taking me longer than I anticipated, but it won’t be much longer!).
In spite of many too-clear skies, my time at the Grand Canyon did yield enough beautiful imagery to warrant a second posting.
The first morning light reflecting the many colors of the canyon.
It was sometimes the subtle gradations of color that captivated me most, as in this evening shot.
I was most impressed by how much the colors could change as the sun moved. This shot from shortly after sunset revealed blues and purples that had been absent just a few minutes earlier.
Our last stop at the Watchtower on the way out gave us a last view of the river to remember the Grand Canyon by.
I will continue to post images here in the weeks to come, but your chance to get 25% off of images from this trip is nearly over. The pre-sale storefront will be open only until I have finished going through all of my photos and am ready to fulfill the original pre-sale orders.
Continuing the preview that I started in last week’s post, here are a few images that I took during my time at the Grand Canyon:
Pre-dawn silhouette of a tree as the sun just begins to lighten the sky over the Grand Canyon.
Sunset near Pima Point at the Grand Canyon
I was continually impressed by how the colors would shift as the light changed at the Grand Canyon.
The moon showed only a sliver, but there was enough light on the darker part to give me a fantastic view as it rose over the Grand Canyon.
I want to say a big thank-you to everyone who took advantage of my art pre-sale, receiving up to 50% off by taking a chance and buying prints from my trip before seeing a single image. Those deals are no longer available, but for anyone who is kicking themselves for passing them by, here is the next best thing: The pre-sale storefront is still open, and will be so until sometime in early May, when I finish going through photos from the trip. Prints are now available at a flat discount of 25% off of retail – still nothing to sniff at, if you ask me. Don’t delay, as this deal will evaporate as well once I’m done sifting images!
One of the best parts of the work I do is the opportunity to travel to beautiful places and see what justice I can do them through the lens. The trade-off is that when you put your whole life on hold for any period of time, there is an inevitable reckoning when you return and try to pick up where you left off. I am still buried in email and obligations, but I’m also devoting as much time as I can to going through the many photos from my trip and getting them ready to show the world. Here are just a few of my favorites from the first stop of my trip, Yosemite National Park:
Sunset over the valley in Yosemite National Park
I was mesmerized by the shapes in this tree, near the base of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park
Sunset light on Half-Dome in Yosemite National Park
A Rainbow in the mist at Vernal Falls, Yosemite National Park

I’m back from my travels, and furiously working to catch up on everything that I put on hold for the trip. While working my way through the many photos I took, I’m also preparing for an upcoming reception to be held at the Realty Trust on SE 50th & Hawthorne here in Portland on Thursday, April 23rd from 4:30-7:00pm.
Bazi Bierbrasserie will be serving up hors d-oeuvres and offering German bier tasting (read: free food and beer) while you mingle and enjoy the art on display. I’ll have a selection of small prints and art miniatures in addition to the larger aluminum prints on display.
Please join me!
