Park City Fine Art Photography
Award Winning Photographic Art
Welcome!
Art
I create photographic art that captures those rare moments when subject, composition, and light align in harmony. Inspired by the natural world, much of my work focuses on landscapes and wildlife, but I also enjoy street photography of human life unscripted.
Storefront to Direct Client Business Model in 2025
My work has been shown in several Park City interior decor stores and design centers over the past 20 years, but in 2025 I’m shifting to a new approach—offering my art directly to clients with personalized, one-on-one collaboration for home and business décor —at no extra charge. You can also see my work at various art shows, presenting fully finished, hand-signed, limited-edition pieces created to the highest standards of fine art. Simply check on my website for upcoming art show announcements.
Art Offerings
My work begins with time-honored methods, creating large-format Silver Halide photographs (Chromogenic Prints) developed by hand in classic wet baths. Each piece is fused beneath museum-grade acrylic and set in a hand-built hardwood frame. With their depth and immersive presence, these prints stand apart from today’s fast, inkjet-driven process. Please allow at least one month for creation.
I also offer:
ChromoLuxe metal prints – vivid color, sharp detail, and lasting quality
Exhibition-quality canvas wraps – warm, organic presentation with optional framing
Loose high-definition inkjet prints – versatile, available on traditional and artistic papers
“All good things… come by grace, and grace comes by art, and art does not come easy.”
— Norman Maclean, —”A River Runs Through It”
Wildlife Examples
A red fox explodes off the river bank of McLeod Creek, (Park City, Utah) swollen with spring runoff, and returning home with dinner for her pups. After many days of quiet observation, careful not to disturb her rhythm, I captured this Red Fox in a fleeting moment at the peak of action.

Art Wolfe International Photography Contest
(Entries from 63 countries)
Bathed in golden evening light, a baby osprey sits up in its nest, gazing into the setting sun—anxious for its mother’s return. This photographic moment came after many days of patient observation.
A tender moment —- A heartbeat of love —- A story in magical light.

Landscape Examples
Chapters of Change
La Sal Mountains, Utah – Warner Lake.
At 9,400 feet in the La Sal Mountains of southeastern Utah, I arrived before dawn after a storm had swept through the night before. Fresh snow rested softly on golden and green aspen leaves—still clinging to their branches, a rare gift. For a quiet moment, autumn and winter touched, gently and without a sound. One season closed, and another began.

Selected for the Springville Museum of Art – Salon 100 (2024)
Transitions of Time
With winter approaching and the winds of recent weeks having stripped the trees bare, I rose early to await first light. From a high ridge above East Canyon, I watched as the sun’s first rays touched a stand of aspens—now leafless, their bronze branches reaching skyward.
In that stillness, a moment of transition—where autumn ends, and winter begins.
A turning page in time —nature’s rhythms.

Selected for the Springville Museum of Art – Salon 101 (2025)
Therapeutic Benefits of Art
Studies show that experiencing art can lower stress, boost dopamine, and awaken parts of the brain tied to emotion and healing. Since we can’t always be outdoors, my work offers a way to bring nature’s calm and beauty inside.

Personalized Art Consultations
For major art investments, I offer free in-home visits to review print media, finishes, and subject matter.
For smaller projects, I'm happy to consult by phone at no charge.
I deliver ready-to-hang art to your home to see how it would look, and create digital Mock Ups of your spaces.
Truth in Photography
My work shows real places, real light, and real moments—just as I saw them.
I use simple edits like dodging, burning, and color correction, vibrance if required and sometimes cropping.
I don’t use AI prompts to create scenes that didn’t happen.
Rarely, I’ll make a composite—but only from my own photos, and always clearly labeled — (currently, only one image)
I believe in honesty. If you're buying art, you deserve to know how it was made. Be an education consumer!

Final Thoughts
If one of my images speaks to you, it’s not by chance—it’s because it connects with something you’ve felt, loved, or lived. If you find a scene that strikes a chord in your heart, or a place that hold special meaning — I would be honored to have my Art become part of your home or business.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work.
