Abstracts:
In our exploration of the natural world, we have found a fascinating beauty at the macro level. It is our privilege to share with you what we have discovered, something that is both organic and unique.
After photographing the macro images in the field, we work through the computer to enhance the various design elements in each image. Next we print the images on either fine art canvas or metal. To develop the design further, we then apply both opaque and transparent paints to emphasize line, color and movement. The finished pieces are something both foreign and familiar, combining the beauty of nature with the carefully applied touch of the artist.
We maintain complete control over the entire process, from the initial image capture to the final framing and mounting, using only archival quality materials.
Photography on metal:
Atmosphere and light have always been a joy to experience and evokes a strong sense of emotion. When we're in the field, we find ourselves being drawn to the conditions where atmosphere (rain, fog, snow, bad weather in general) interacts with light. The images we've captured reflect this.
We prepare each piece of metal for a specific image by concentrating on four areas:
We start with a bare sheet of aluminum and begin applying various archival products to achieve these goals. Each application creates a unique design on the metal that will complement the printed image. Then we print using a large format printer in our studio.
This process creates an image that expresses the light, atmosphere and movement that we love! Enjoy!!

We prepare each piece of metal for a specific image by concentrating on four areas:
- 1. How much metal to expose?
- 2. Movement
- 3. Texture
- 4. Color
We start with a bare sheet of aluminum and begin applying various archival products to achieve these goals. Each application creates a unique design on the metal that will complement the printed image. Then we print using a large format printer in our studio.
