Dreamscapes

Tapestries of light, color and shadow reign where reality meets imagination…

Dreamscapes is a photographic art series that appeared in my 2024 wall calendar + planner.

The story of Dreamscapes begins back in 2003. As a young nature and landscape photographer, I quickly found myself yearning for greater depth and intrigue in my work. I began experimenting with the raw images I composed with my camera, using digital techniques to transform them into dreamlike realms. Ethereal scenes materialized on screen while enhancing the colors, adjusting light density, infusing textures and brush strokes, seamlessly integrating human subjects, and introducing a variety of other elements. This meticulous process culminated in a distinctive style that brims with evocative charm and transports the viewer into environments where reality and fantasy mingle together.

Since discovering and honing these skills, I’ve showcased my landscape photography, digital art, manipulated photographs and composite imagery in galleries and publications around the United States, Great Britain, Ireland and India. This year I’m very excited to unveil a series of brand new (and some revisited) photographic landscape art that beckons you into a tranquil realm of dreams and boundless possibility.
