This collection features my hand-painted photographs of California's native oaks and oak woodlands, primarily from the Central Coast and Santa Lucia Mountains.

During the years I lived and photographed along California's Central Coast, I became fascinated by the distinctive forms of its native oaks and the changing patterns of light and shadow across the landscape. These works are my personal interpretations of those encounters, combining traditional black-and-white photography with photographic toning and hand-applied color.

Each original begins as a black-and-white photograph printed on canvas, which I then individually paint and finish. The resulting images explore the character of individual trees and the quiet beauty of California's oak woodlands.
