Welcome to the ART1 Journal

A space for reflection, insight, and the stories that live behind the collections that shape ART1.

Here, fine art photography meets process, memory, and creative practice, shaped by decades of creative exploration across movement, image-making, and visual storytelling.

Through light studies, monochrome atmospheres, POP abstraction, still life, and narrative works, each entry offers a deeper understanding of the ideas, influences, and lived experience that inform the work, its intention, and its place within the wider ART1 practice.
