"I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and have been living in Italy and France for the past 28 years. Presently I'm based in San Francisco. I speak English, French and Italian.

"The images exhibited here are from a project I started in July 2009. The art form I've created is what I call 'Documentary Photography Painting'. I use the word 'documentary' because each photograph documents the time and actions of a specific place. The photographs taken to date are of Europe and the US. Each one measures 60 x 180 cm in its largest format."

These images may seem out-of-focus, poorly-rendered and strangely manipulated. These would seem to be deliberate effects intended by the artist.
