Studio Profile & Bio:My Studio is located on Cedar Avenue Between Elm Street and Locust Street In South Scranton just 5 minutes from the Steamtown Mall & Steamtown National Historic Site; 10 minutes from Montage Mountain, Glenmaura National Golf Course & Lackawanna County Stadium.
Starting in the 1970's as a student at West Scranton High School with a hobby in art, photojournalism and scenic paintings; I was led to an interest in lighting techniques, in particular, those of master photographers of Hollywood's Golden Age. Educating myself on the dramatic lighting used in the 30's and 40's, I established my studio based on that style. My intense passion for art, combined with an insatiable appetite for new methods of creating stimulating visuals provides a strong basis for the work you see here and forms the foundation in the creation of all my media.
