Enchanted Nymph

I am a contemporary fine artist first, my years of work as a painter and designer is reflected in my photography. The post production work on these images involves the layering of textures which give the photographs a feeling of depth, age and character. It is the unexpected discoveries that inspire me, I do not try to control the course of events, i do not plan the shoot, I look for what is there and hope or rather expect to find something special in my muse.
I find the human body beautiful, I prefer to work with a nude form, it is easier to blend an unclothed figure with layers to make art. For me it is not about a naked form, it is about fine art. There can be no creativity where there is no freedom. All those dishonest clichés which are so characteristic of the female nude are not a part of what I do.

I look for elements of the unusual, the mysterious, and the sensual. I like dramatic, but I tend to find the subtle beauty in my models. I want to be more edgy, weird, strange, surreal... but I find that most often my work is dreamy, with a pre-Raphaelite tone to it.




I am doing an on-going collaboration with Kevin stiles, (his icon is below). If you live on the east coast or any where in driving distance to Bristol, Connecticut and you would like to do a trade with us, then please get in touch with Kevin. He's a brilliant artist. He usually chooses a few images for his surrealist paintings, from each shoot. He also sends the photos to me and I work on 10 images in my style in trade, for our muse. You would need to sign model releases for both Kevin and I as we will be sharing the copyright on the images. And we also plan to do a book. We are mostly interested in nude models as it works best for our art, but if you have some amazing costume we may also be interested. Just get in touch.
