"Leave no footprints behind was shot in January in Connecticut. It’s a lovely overpass from the highway. I was amazed by the small to large details and the element it was in. I wanted to see how far I can capture the lights all the way to the end but be the first to shoot untouched crispy, clean white snow before crossing over. The contrast is very complimenting and the direction it leads your eyes makes you wonder what’s on the other side."

"I am very fascinated with flower beauty. I like to show something in them that is not obviously visible and I want it to make it visible for my audience. My desire was to capture the soft beauty of this flower and the tender and almost transparent petals that look like lace with the wavy edges on their end. I used several filter to reach the look I wanted to accomplish, showing all the details of every line. I think it came out just right..."

"Hope is something we try to hold onto tightly in moments of need. But sometimes, it's like water, essential to live, impossible to grasp, always slipping through our fingers. There, and in the blink of an eye, gone.

I use my art to process and lay bare the beauty and complexity of our humanity. This portrait is a representation of sadness and struggle and is heavily inspired by a song I hold dear to me. I made this hoping that others will find within my art a message, something to connect with that makes them feel seen."

”Waves, Baltimore is an architectural metal sculpture at the entrance of a hotel. While the undulating waves are captivating, the cluttered surroundings were a photographic distraction. To isolate the sculpture, I used a series of luminosity masks to emphasize the contrasting forms and shadows of the waves. This dodging and burning also enabled blacking out the surrounding background for even greater visual contrast. Other contrasting elements are the smooth surfaces of the waves with their hard, crisp edges."

"This European Starling turned its back to me as I was about to photograph it. I suddenly realized what a great opportunity it was as the magnificent patterns of its feathers were now evident to me!"

"In the interest of the global environment and recycling, I act locally, experimenting with recirculation of textile scrap back into the local economy as artwork, clothing, fabric, rope, and sculpture. This piece is a color and texture study of gently twisted fabric strips and seams with a value contrasting warp in a loosely woven fabric after the Saori style of weaving."

"The looming structure of a brown bridge hovers over cars and trucks as they pass beneath. The framework casts shadows that crisscross the road, while the dotted lines inevitably sweep the viewer into the unknown."

"The birds sit lightly on each other and the impossible surface of the moon."

"My artwork examines the space between the built and natural environments, and how we exist nature. Composite images of constructed objects with images of nature creates a new formal and imaginative space."

"In 1987 I went to see my first concert--the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy at the New Haven Colosseum. It was a general admission concert which means that the doors opened and everyone streamed in a frenzy towards the front of the stage all at once. For the next three hours I was swished around in a sea of teenagers who were moshing, stage diving and screaming. It was the scariest and the best day of my life--at least that is what my diary said the next day. This is the first sculpture from a series that I have been working on that commemorate memories from my life that were not captured by a photograph. This "ball of confusion", all tangled and torn, portrays my experiences and feelings from this day on April 18,1987."

"This is one of a series of photos of Jill Watts in various historic storied places in Worcester, MA. I take the photo and interpret it; Jill dresses, poses and chooses the sites."

"I aim to capture an intense energy within my paintings. With longing, spontaneous black brush strokes reveal a fractured white silhouette. The ambiguous form resembles a jagged crescent moon, reminiscent of a broken heart or state of loneliness."

"An image captured from a Boston hotel room - the next morning."

"The process of taking the mental vision of what I see and turning what I've shot into a realization of that vision is my process at work, regardless of the subject of my photo. Whether I'm working on nature, an event, or photojournalistic photo, the creative process is the same. It is not easy - imagination is boundless, while skills hustle to catch up, but the process is the journey I am on.

"In the original photo of the glacial potholes in the Deerfield River as it passes through Shelburne Falls, I had a great photo of exactly what I saw through the lens of my camera. Afterwards, I stared at the slice of the river I had shot, and started to see the scene in as it might look. I let myself daydream for a while. I experimented as I processed it and, eventually, what you see is what evolved."
