Welcome to Up Close With Mother Nature, the Web home of my Photo Art collection.

Along with my Journalism background, my photography archives date back to the late 1980s. The galleries showcased here include some of my 21st-century California landscapes, soothing Pacific seascapes, close-ups of photogenic critters and birds, close-ups of exotic flora, and a variety of outdoor miscellany.

My galleries are a great source for year-round gifts and for additions to your home and office decor. Many of my wildlife images are also perfect for the rooms of nature-loving children. The Photo Art product options include dramatic metal prints in up to poster size, as well as traditional framed prints, acrylics and canvases.

Please note that the watermark you see on my images will not appear on any product. All products come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
