One measure of the success of an impressionistic photograph is how easily it allows viewers to look beyond evidence of objectivity, and to open themselves up to connections with the unknown.

In these images, the inherently abstract patterns and shapes of the natural environment are paramount. But the pictures are still figurative: bound somewhat by the limits of their subject matter. In several of these portfolios, the focus is literally on water currents and its constant flow and change. More specifically, it is the fleeting abstract reflections of light, shapes, and intense colors that frolic atop the surface of water. It has been my labor of love to freeze those ephemeral moments with my camera. My endeavors to create painterly, abstract and often expressionistic water photographs can sometimes be read simply as beautiful reflections or undulating visions beneath the surface. However, it is my hope they transcend their figurative source, sublimate it, and offer us a glimpse of something universal.
