Antiquity, Sacred Site, Indigenous and Nature Themed Fine Art Photography
Where Antiquity and Nature Meet Modern Art
Intro
Welcome to my creative journey and thank you for visiting my studio portfolio website. This photographic collection represents a lifelong exploration of our planet’s elemental beauty and the artistic possibilities available within the photographic medium.
As a photographic artist I have dedicated my life to venturing into remote corners of the natural world capturing moments where Earth’s pristine nature and delicate intricacy converge. Many of my backcountry experiences have been interpreted through the medium of photography into artworks that transcend documentation and enter the realm of emotional and conceptual expression.
After over four decades working across 78 countries on commissioned projects for global corporations and advertising clients I’ve defined a visual dialog that now represents my personal artistic practice. My creative process draws from both analog film and digital photography traditions, embracing multiple formats and techniques to reveal subtle textures, colors, and patterns often barely perceptible to the naked eye. The resulting images explore not only our natural world but also contemporary interpretive movements in Modern Art. From Abstract Expressionism and Impressionism to Minimalism, Cubism and contemporary Pop Art Revival reimagined through the lens of photographic vision.
I invite you to step into this curated space, to experience the intersection of nature, technique and concept to see not just what is within our natural world, but what might be felt, discovered and explored for deeper meaning.
This diverse collection of fine art photographic prints, books and associated art products are now available in multiple thematic formats and are offered worldwide in a wide variety of sizes and archival presentation materials. The dedicated photographic monographs, guided journals and thematic art books are all offered exclusively through Amazon KDP's global outreach. Each fine art print and every book publication extends my visual and creative journey into tangible form designed for personal enjoyment, contemplation, gifting and daily inspiration. The printed books and fine art photography print selections offer excellent convenient accessibility with collectable permanence and are an invitation to slow down, reflect, explore and enjoy art that is inspired by our natural word.
Fine Art Photographic Prints, Digital Products & Monographs

Every Wall Art Print begins as a moment witnessed not merely manufactured. I personally capture, curate, and approve each image from my archives of 78 countries, ensuring authentic representation of light, landscape, and emotion. Our AP Quality Print Program™ guarantees archival-grade materials, fade-resistant inks, and transparent provenance documentation. No stock imagery. No algorithmic edits. Just honest art, ethically produced and artist-authenticated.
Digital products do not imply disposable. Every downloadable file is sourced directly from my master archives, watermarked with invisible artist signatures, and delivered with a certificate of authenticity. Process guides and educational content reflect my four decades of field experience—no AI-generated shortcuts, no repackaged generic advice. What you receive is distilled wisdom, ethically shared to empower your own creative journey.
All monographs and art books are extensions of the studio not merely merchandise. Each monograph curates a cohesive visual narrative with essays written in my voice and images sequenced for emotional resonance. Guided journals and coloring books use my original photographs as creative prompts, inviting you to engage with art actively, not passively. Printed on-demand via Amazon KDP for sustainability, but conceived and designed entirely in-house.

Fine Art Printing Precision is non-negotiable. Each print undergoes a 12-point quality review: color calibration to museum standards, substrate selection matched to artistic intent and hand-inspected framing with acid-free mats and UV-protective glazing. Large statement and multi-panel pieces are engineered for visual harmony and seamless alignment, balanced weight distribution, and gallery-ready hardware included. This isn't decoration. Its intentional craftsmanship.
Pixel-perfect resolution meets purposeful design. Digital wallpapers are optimized for 4K/8K displays with dynamic color profiles that honor the original capture. Creative process guides include layered PSD examples, lighting diagrams, and annotated field notes—crafted for clarity and immediate application. Even free resources undergo the same technical rigor as premium offerings: because excellence isn't reserved for paid products.
From cover texture to page weight, every detail serves the experience. Monographs feature lay-flat binding for uninterrupted spreads journals use thick, bleed-resistant paper for mixed media; coloring books optimize line work from high-contrast originals for satisfying detail. Even mini chapbooks are designed as collectible artifacts—pocket-sized portals into a specific place or philosophy. Because how a book feels matters as much as what it shows.
Value

Value
Art should endure—visually, emotionally, and financially. Our prints are priced to reflect accessible luxury: premium materials without gallery markups, direct-from-artist transparency, and lifetime archival guarantees. A multi-panel desert series isn't just a wall feature; it's a conversation starter, a mood shifter, a legacy piece. And with flexible formats (ready-to-hang framed, gallery-wrapped canvas, or modular panels) you invest in beauty that fits your space—and your vision.
Digital products offer low-barrier entry into my artistic world—ideal for testing a style before investing in a print, or enriching your creative practice on the go. Instant access with enduring inspiration. Bundle a wallpaper series with a process guide, and you're not just buying a file; you're unlocking a methodology. And with lifetime updates and cross-device compatibility your investment grows with your needs.
Art should be lived with, not just looked at. KDP's global distribution makes my work accessible at entry-level price points that are ideal for gifting, travel, or daily inspiration. A guided journal isn't just paper it's a companion for your own creative practice. A seasonal chapbook isn't just a booklet it's a quarterly ritual of reflection. And with Amazon's reliable fulfillment, you spend less time managing logistics and more time engaging with art that moves you.
Biography
1956-1980 “Only one who wanders finds new paths.”– Norwegian Proverb
In the mid 1800's my great-grandparents immigrated from Norway and Sweden to homestead a successful farm in central Idaho. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I grew up exploring the vast diversity of beautiful outdoor venues that were always easily accessible. I was a self-taught landscape photographer before becoming a full time corporate and advertising commercial photographer based in Denver Colorado and then in Houston Texas.
1981-2010 "Oh, the places you will go!"– Dr. Seuss.
Upon graduating from the University of Idaho I briefly relocated to Denver Colorado and soon took a major photographic career step by moving to Houston Texas for a full time position with an advertising photography studio. I was at the right place at the right time and quickly gained experience in the realm of large team international campaign focused advertising and corporate photography. During my 20 years in Houston I photographed commissioned assignments in 78 countries for multinational Fortune 500 clients.
2010-2020 "Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times." - Asian Proverb.
Relocating back to Colorado I resided in Boulder for a few years then moved back to the Pacific Northwest and currently reside in Bandon Oregon. There is astounding elemental beauty on our planet and my travels around the world and love for backcountry explorations are a constant inspiration for creating photographic artworks.
2021-Present. “Travel brings power and love back into your life.”- Rumi.
Each image I create is more than a photograph—it’s a visual narrative, a moment in time that speaks to the deeper story of our planet’s interconnected ecosystems. My work is driven by the desire to translate natures elegance into compelling compositions that resonate on both an emotional and spiritual level. For the discerning collector, each limited edition print offers not just an aesthetic experience, but a meaningful connection to the earth—an invitation to bring the soulful essence of wild places into personal or institutional spaces.
