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 aluminum. We then apply opaque, transparent & iridescent paints/inks 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. Each piece is double-wired so that it can be hung vertically or horizontally.
Photography on Metal:
Atmosphere and light have always been a joy to experience and evokes a strong sense of emotion. The technique we developed has enabled us to capture that in 2D form.
We prepare each piece of metal for a specific image by concentrating on on the following:
1.How much metal to expose?
2.Movement
3.Texture
We start with a bare sheet of aluminum and begin applying a blend of translucent and opaque products to achieve these goals. Once it dries, then we print the image using a large format printer in our studio.
The result creates an image that expresses the light, atmosphere and movement that we love! Enjoy!!

Photography on Fabric:
Atmosphere and light have always been a joy to experience and evokes a strong sense of emotion. Our goal is to bring those attributes to life through our printed fabric photos.
We start with a fabric that is in the same family of fabrics used by outdoor muralists. This semi-transparent, luminescent fabric looks delicate, but is really tough stuff! We add a splash of metallic pigments to give a twinkle of light to the image (similar to the way a drop of dew refracts the early morning light) before we print.
Some of our pieces are designed to have multiple panels (2=diptychs, 3=triptychs). This was done to create more depth in the image, i.e. a more 3D like viewing experience.
We finish the piece by customizing the hangers with their own splash of metallics to complement the image.
This process creates a photo on fabric that expresses the light and atmosphere that we love! Enjoy!!
