For 48 years, I have journeyed through the world with my camera, capturing the essence of life from the bustling streets of Chicago to the breathtaking landscapes of Antarctica. My artistic foundation is rooted in the traditional methods of photography, where film and the darkroom were my trusted companions, and medium to large format cameras became my instruments of choice.

Embracing the realm of digital technology was a gradual evolution for me, but with the Nikon D810, I discovered a powerful tool that breathed new life into my vision. In 2022, I encountered the emerging world of AI-generated images, sparking my curiosity and prompting a deep dive into this innovative medium. While initially captivated, I found that traditional AI lacked the creative input I craved. However, my artistic path took a transformative turn when I discovered Midjourney, which allowed me to merge my photographic legacy with AI capabilities. This fusion led to the creation of my Otherworldly art pieces, where my award-winning photographs are reimagined and redefined. The thrill of experimentation has driven me to push the boundaries of my craft.
Recently, I showcased my Otherworldly art fusions at the Dead End Gallery during Amsterdam Museum Night, part of a pioneering exhibition for AI art in the Netherlands. This experience reaffirmed my belief in the potential of blending traditional artistry with cutting-edge technology. Today, my work represents a harmonious balance of 90% handcrafted artistry and 10% digital editing. Through the integration of Photoshop and AI, I create unique visual narratives that transport viewers to dimensions unexplored. Each piece stands as a testament to the possibilities of artistic evolution, inviting you to join me on this journey into the Otherworldly.
