An Invitation to Journey Through the Lens …

My newest photo art portfolio gathers more than fifty vistas from seven passages aboard The Canadian, one of the world’s most iconic trains. Railroad Reflections invites viewers into a contemplative journey across rugged mountains, vast prairies, and the dense treed landscape of Northern Ontario. Each photo is a meditation on movement, memory, and the beauty of stillness in motion.

The images taken from the train’s panoramic windows capture fleeting light, layered landscapes, and the quiet intimacy of travel. More than a collection of photographs, Railroad Reflections is a love letter to Canada’s geography and the timeless rhythm of rail. It is also a reminder of the optimism found in colour, light, and shared journeys. 

Perfect for lovers of photography, train travel, and Canadian scenery, this book is a tactile keepsake for anyone who’s ever longed to watch the world roll by.

Railroad Reflections: Views from The Canadian is available now as a keepsake, print-on-demand photo book on Amazon $14.99 & eBook $4.99

My Optimism of Color Blog

Every Tuesday and Friday, I’m posting a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in one night in 2011.

Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
