Artist Statement:
As a landscape and seascape photographer, my connection to nature is at the core of my artistic expression. Through my lens, I capture the sublime beauty of Cape Cod and New England, aiming to highlight the tranquil and majestic essence of these landscapes. Each image in this exhibit offers a sanctuary of calm, celebrating the natural worlds enduring beauty and providing a moment of respite amidst life’s challenges. Standing on a beach at sunrise or gazing at the dunes at sunset, I am reminded of nature’s stillness and grandeur, prompting a deeper appreciation for the world around us.
Photography, for me, extends beyond mere visual art—it is a medium of perspective and gratitude. Surrounded by the vastness of nature, personal concerns diminish, replaced by a sense of wonder and serenity. This exhibit showcases the calm and tranquil moments that have been my sanctuary through tough times. I share these images, hoping they might provide viewers with a similar sense of peace.
My work has been recognized and displayed through the Cape Cod Art Center, Tufts Medical Center, Boston Camera Club, and other venues. With my background as a retired emergency physician working in chaotic surroundings, I create photographs that bring peace and serenity into everyday settings. My photography aims to transform both homes and healthcare environments, offering comfort and a tranquil refuge for everyone- from home dwellers to healthcare professionals and their patients.
