关于此艺术家

I have been taking pictures since boyhood, but my current preoccupations are with transforming photographs of flowers, stone, metal, wood, and the sky into mandala-like images and photographing the sea and sky on the coastline north of Boston. This work is inspired by the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe and Claude Monet, the nature photographs of Andreas Feininger, and the flower images of Harold Feinstein, with whom I briefly studied.

Making both the flower mandala and the sea/sky images feels, to me, like I am in wordless conversation with natural elements far more profound than anything I could create myself. With both the flower and the seascape images, the experience of photographing and of editing is reminiscent of meditation.

My motivation in creating the mandala images was to heal from a decade of physical and emotional trauma, the consequence of a near-fatal event in Albany, New York, in 1993. My use of the hexagram (the Star of David, "beloved" in Hebrew) as the organizing shape for most of the mandala images was subconscious, but I believe this choice was no accident. In many traditions, the Star of David, composed of two overlapping triangles, represents the reconciliation of opposites — male/female, fire/water, and so on. Their combination symbolizes unity and harmony. Listening to what the mandalas were telling me led me out of a dark place and, indirectly, to my decision to become a psychotherapist. Taking the photographs of the sea and sky is an almost daily activity, the first thing I do in the morning after I've left the house, and they evoke a sense of connection with vastness and an appropriate resizing of my worries and concerns, much like the perspective I get from Chinese landscape scrolls, where the people are tiny figures on an apparently infinite landscape.

Currently, I run a blog called "Flower Mandalas" on the spirituality portal Beliefnet.com, where I hope to promote the use of art as a means for healing and personal transformation — the primary purposes it has served for me. In the tradition of Carl Jung I intend, as well, to publish a book pairing 52 flower mandala images with inspirational quotations such that each image-and-quote pair resonates with a fundamental aspect of human experience.

教育程度与个人自传
I have a B.A. in English from the University at Buffalo, an M.A. in creative writing from Boston University, and an M.Ed. in counseling psychology from Cambridge College. I am self-taught as a photographer, though I studied briefly with Harold Feinstein. I am a recent recipient of a grant in photography from the Massachusetts Cultural Council for my work with flower mandalas. I've recently exhibited with other photography grant winners at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown and at the Trustman Gallery in Boston. I also recently published a portfolion of my flower mandala images in LensWork Extended.
 
未来的展览
I have a two-person show coming up at the Griffin Museum of Photography beginning in June, and a short film about me is in the works and should be making the rounds of film festivals some time this summer.
