The process  begins with the visual exploration of stones and crystals that store  information revealing intriguing patterns, formed since time immemorial.  While the eyes survey the compositions of  colors, tonal variations, and textures, the mind is stimulated to visualize a  myriad of possibilities.  Through  photographic impressionism, nature’s hidden beauty is extracted from within  real-world materials.  The act of  discovery is then juxtaposed with hidden memories and inner dreams, manifesting  as the shutter-click of a captured vision.   The creative process results in Imaginary  Realms, evoking ancient and future fantasies, as well as planetary and  celestial-scapes, traversing space, time, and dimension.

Ultimately,  the observer may perceive and experience these visions as alternative realities  either in terms of commonalities or unique interpretations.  Using one’s frame of reference, surrealistic  data is transformed into a multi-sensual understanding, resulting in personal  impressions.  Serving as catalysts, the  images inspire the observer to partake in visual discovery, invoke inner  dreams, and perhaps even tell a story.  A  subtle sense of familiarity can even trigger a feeling of déjà vu.  Indeed, the experience of immersion within  these Imaginary Realms may actually  feel quite real and alive, enabling one’s spirit to shift fluidly between  ordinary reality and alternative realities.
