The Golden Collection Artists Statement:
After years of searching for a new approach to my photographic art, I discovered a technique by a watercolorist which would give my work a shimmering quality. Once I learned the proper combination of paper, paint and ink, I created The Golden Collection using images of trees and flowers with a strong emphasis on light and shadow.
What I love about this collection is the warmth of the gold appearance along with a touch of iridescence. “The interpretation of fine art begins with you” is a statement that has been with me for over 30 years. It feels even more apropos today as I passionately create my new body of work to share with you.

The Gold Collection is a body of work created using gold paint over textured paper and printed using the latest giclee printing techniques. The Iridescent gold gesso paint gives photographs a unique quality and they are each one of a kind as the brush strokes are different for each Image and give the photographs a painterly quality. This collection is limited edition and no more than 75 prints will be created.The metallic gold paint gives each image a shimmer that can be seen at every angle. This technique is only used by a small number of artists in the US. The images are achival to over 175 years.

The Palm Tree Gold series of images are all found in Florida. The unique tree is a Pinyon Pine found at the edge of the
Grand Canyon and all the other Pine, Live Oak, Maple and others were all found in various parts of florida.
