After many years living in New York City, sailing and galavanting about, I now live in the tropical paradise that is Costa Rica since early 2007.
There is something magical about this country and about capturing the essence of a person, about witnessing and telling a story, and showing a moment in time.
Combining the Arts, Interior Design and Photography is my play in life.
I LOVE what I do and now I would like to offer you the magic of:
-transforming a visual object into a story
-transforming a house into a home, an ordinary place into an extraordinary place, a place that is new into a place that is you!
-bringing attention to your talent, creativity, passion or craft, whether it be food, music, design, or something else truly yours.
"Form follows function..." was the favorite saying of my first architecture professor at LSU. This concept became part of me since then. Art does not have to be functional but it is a must for Design to be absolutely and perfectly functional.
With ease and simplicity I will DESIGN and interpret what you the client are looking for.
Bring light to your business with a photographer's eye. Allow me to capture the essence of your talent, of your story.
My photography work is available for exhibitions in galleries, museums, as well as private venues.
Fine Arts Prints are also available for purchase.
Stock images are available for purchase as downloads.
