BIO

Impossible images 

 

By using computers to combine painting and photography, I create art which is not easily rendered with either painting or photography, or with any other conventional media.

 

In 1968, Betty Albert Schreck and I founded Exposure Gallery on New York’s lower East side.  During the1960’s, I exhibited my work there and at other East Coast galleries. My photographs from that period were one of a kind images individually crafted using bleaches, dyes, and toners. You can find examples of this work from the 1960s here.  

 

In 1970 I moved from Manhattan to Berkeley California.  Impressed by the amazing flora of Northern California We began crafting Oshibana, pictures made with pressed flowers. In the 1970’s, our Wilderness Cards were sold at scores of galleries throughout coastal California.

 

In 1985, I was introduced to digital media, which profoundly influenced my work. Where once I painted with colors, I could now paint with images. Today my work includes both black and white photography as well as the digital art I call "PhotoGraphics".
