Alan's photo paintings track the cycle of renewal in nature, in cities under construction, and as reflected in how we inhabit and interact in our culture . The ebb and flow of life is captured and amplified in over lays and patterns with seasonal light and color providing us with a fresh look at the startling beauty and magnificent complexity that surrounds us.
