As owner & photographic artist at my St. Louis based company, I specialize in Commercial and Fine Art photography creating what I call “Functional Art”. This is art designed or selected to provide specific messages and/or effects on the people in a particular space to accomplish a purpose agreed upon with the owner of that space. An example is Evidence Based Design art designed to improve patient outcomes in medical facilities, or to reduce staff turnover at senior living environments. Other examples include helping restaurant owners increase sales & margins via the art on their walls, enhancing team creativity in a meeting room, etc. I thrive on creating art that serves an agreed purpose for the owner.

Stress relieving art

Evidence Based Design art (otherwise known as stress reliving or healing art) is designed to improve patient outcomes in medical facilities, or to reduce staff turnover at senior living environments. It is based upon guidelines stemming from research in hospital design that informs what types of art work best for the purpose.

Orchid Petal Pair “Orchid Petal Pair”

It's fascinating to examine the wonders of nature exhibited when flowers are viewed up very close. The colors & patterns are very healing to view.

Orchid Entrance “Orchid Entrance”

This orchid was given to the daughter of a friend while she was recovering from brain surgery. During the many hours spent in the hospital & rehab, I took advantage of the time to photograph some flowers of which this is one.

MOBOT Fall “MOBOT Fall”

Biophilic art perfect for stress relief such as in a hospital. Experience the ultimate autumn escape with this stunning landscape. A charming wooden bridge arches over a serene pond, surrounded by vibrant fall foliage. The tranquil water reflects nature's beauty, inviting you to unwind and rejuvenate. Embrace the peaceful harmony and let this picturesque scene captivate your soul. Getting this shot was interesting. To get the composition I wanted, I had to set my tripod up on small rocks in the stream shown in the photo. A little risky, but worth it. This has been my best selling image. I've sold it up to 4x5ft on a canvas print among many other formats.
