Sienna, 2008
As an artist, one challenge I enjoy is the depiction of the beauty and complexity of the nude human form. I avoid lurid images and attempt to portray my subjects in a respectful light. If you are offended by such depictions, or if viewing them is illegal in your community, please do not enter this site.
All images are available as archival prints, please contact me if I can make one for you.

Cave Paintings
Light painting is an exciting and inspiring method for creating nude images. And what better environment than a cave? For much of 2009 I've been crawling around in a slimy cave with some of my more intrepid models and an assortment of flashlights to create these images which show beautify in primal surroundings, contrasting textures and fascinating light beams.
Mannequins
Mannequins shows us the idealized form created to merchandise fashion contrasted with the real female physique. Claire, my mannequin, appears in many of the images as she takes a break from scaring my children and moves into the exciting world of art modeling.
Environmental Nudes
The nude is a perfect enhancement to the natural environment. Environmental nudes celebrate the beauty and wonder of God's creation.I have had the good fortune to work with some premier models and in some of the most incredible locations in North America, and here I am pleased to share them with you.
Color
I'm a firm believer that a color picture captures the clothes, while a black-and white show the person. Color Nudes belies that platitude, though, showing that sometimes the color is just too impressive to miss. Bright blue skies, dramatic tones in the studio or the muted desert palette, all are often irresistible.
