Art Rental Program

Bring the beauty of Nature into your office in an affordable and painless way. All 11-inch, 13-inch, 16-inch and 24-inch framed pictures showcased on my website are available to local businesses as part of my “rent-to-own” program. Here’s how it works.

Simply add 6% Michigan sales tax to the cost of the framed picture(s), and then divide that amount by 12. This is the monthly rental payment. No interest and no surcharges. You pay the first three months’ rent when you take the pictures with you. Your next payment is due at the beginning of Month No. 4. After 12 months of rental payments, the pictures are yours.

But here’s the neat part. After each three-month period, you may trade the pictures for others of your choice from my website, and a total of three months’ rent will carry over. Of course, differently priced pictures will require some rental price adjustment.

This is a painless way to affordably furnish your office with high-impact, high quality, award-winning and acclaimed photographic art, and still be able to change pictures around until you find the ones that capture your heart. Or, you can change pictures every three months without ever buying, and enjoy the broad range of images that are offered on my website. Of course, you will be responsible for any damage on returned or exchanged pictures.

With the wide variety of images in my four web galleries, every Nature lover is certain to find something that speaks to his or her inner spirit. And new images are added regularly. Visit my booth at local art fairs, or contact me to set up an appointment at my gallery to examine the pictures that pique your imagination.

Artist Bio

Background:
Although seriously involved in photography for about 35 years, I finally heeded the advice of artist friends and, in 2002, entered the world of competitive art shows, though I was told that photography wasn’t “a serious art form.” Over the years, I’ve often been reminded that photography isn’t “real art.” Nonetheless, I have earned over twenty (at last count) significant awards in juried all-media art competitions (including some best-in-shows and two “Artist of the Year” awards), participated in a number of one-person and featured-artist exhibits, and regularly show my work in select juried and judged art fairs. I am self-trained and continuing my education.

Style:
Somewhat eclectic. Almost always an emphasis on nature studies, mostly in color.

Technique:
I work only with manually controlled cameras. An adamant photo purist, most of my creative and compositional work is done in-camera, rather than in the darkroom or computer like so many others today. All images are hand-printed, then dry-mounted, double- or triple-matted, and signed in limited editions. I’m pleased that my photos are widely recognized for their natural and richly saturated color quality, superlative sharpness and luminosity, taking full advantage of lens excellence and years of experience. I control the entire process from image capture to image presentation, allowing me to maintain a fond closeness to my work. Moreover, my prints are fully archival, to ensure they last decades without noticeable fading or degradation.
