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, Outer Cape Health Services, 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.
