About Me
In my 29 years as an artist, I’ve photographed the transcendent beauty hidden in many ordinary subjects, like trees, plants, overhead wires, and the sky, because beauty is absolutely everywhere. Based in Aptos, California, I use techniques such as abstraction, multiple exposures, 3-D photography, and video art to celebrate something transcendent that shines through absolutely everything, if we pay close enough attention.
In our challenging world, we need as much soul and inspiration as possible, and art can be a life-changing path of personal transformation, as powerful as any religion, philosophy, or spiritual practice. I offer a wide range of museum-quality, limited edition prints, along with my books From Wandering to Illumination, A Singing Wire, and The Music of Trees, and a variety of greeting cards.
My art is inspired by my other practices, such as teaching meditation, Reiki, and spirituality, my Ph.D. in linguistics, speaking eight languages, and my deep love of music. I’m passionate about teaching on art, creativity, consciousness, working with the mind, body, and energy, going beyond the ordinary perspective, and thriving in difficult times. So, feel free to check out my YouTube videos, articles, and social media.
Please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with, or if you have any questions!
About Me & My Art
For 29 years, I’ve photographed the transcendent beauty that shines through even the most ordinary things, like trees, plants, overhead wires, and the sky. I use techniques like abstraction, multiple exposures, and 3-D photography to point beyond the ordinary perspective in life. Far more is possible than most people realize! Please take a look around, and let me me know if there’s anything I can help you with, or if you have any questions!
Art for everyone — from wall-sized museum prints to everyday pieces
I offer a wide range of photographs in color and black & white, ranging from abstract to easily-approachable, and from wall-sized, museum-quality prints to smaller, affordable prints, books, and cards. Beauty is absolutely everywhere, and I’ve explored many different bodies of work over the years, exploring many different subjects, including trees, plants, flowers, water, landscapes, buildings, overhead wires, and much more.

Books: Art, Creativity & Consciousness
A Singing Wire is a duet between my photographs and my mother Virginia Bush's poems, as our work indirectly influenced each other over the decades. With surprising similarities in themes between our work, like the radiant stillness hidden in everything things, the book shows how powerful it is to join together into a greater whole, rather than following the me-first, conflict-driven ways that run rampant in our modern world.
My first book, The Music of Trees is a journey through three series of tree photographs, and three different ways of seeing. It starts with the relatively representational Tree Portraits, then the Memoria photographs evoking memory, dreams, and the imagination, and Multiple Visions diving deep into the world of visionary consciousness, soul, and Oneness. A perfect book for those who love trees, the creative process, and seeing beyond the ordinary!
My latest book, From Wandering to Illumination uses mesmerizing, mandala-like, multiple-exposure 3-D photographs as meditations on the Tree of Life and the epic story of existence. The journey starts with our ordinary way of being, goes down through the depths of wandering and suffering, ascends the heights of awakening and illumination, and ultimately reaches the radiant Oneness that joins us all together.
