ARTIST STATEMENT AND BIO
***ALL PROCEEDS FROM PRINT SALES THIS WEEK GOING TO MOORE DISASTER RELIEF!***
I spent many years as a licensed professional counselor providing services to children and families in the Moore, Oklahoma area as well as a serving as a mental health volunteer during the May 3rd, 1999 tornado in Moore. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.
Thank you for visiting my websites with a special thanks to all of those who've purchased my prints. I hope you will take the time to visit my newest galleries including my CAROUSEL HORSES COLLECTION, AMERICANA PHOTOGRAPHIA COLLECTION, and CARSCHACH COLLECTION. I hope you enjoy my galleries and that you will send me your comments via email.
My mother introduced me to photography as a child with a Brownie black and white film camera and continued her joy of picture taking until her passing. In addition, my uncles Cody and Hugh Grider were avid camera and photography enthusiasts. I consider myself a fortunate man to have family that have had such a profound impact on me in such a special way, and by my wife Becky who was my biggest fan until the end. In turn, I have passed on my love for photography to my daughter Callan who is interested in painting, jewelry design, fashion, and fashion photography.
I prefer using nature's light whenever possible and am drawn to the beauty of objects and landscapes in and around my home. I use a number of digital software programs in order to enhance my own artistic vision of how each photographic capture should be revealed to the beholder.
Please visit my cards and gifts shop CAFEPRESS.COM/GRIDERIMAGES for unique gifts created from my favorite photographs. If there is a special home accessory that I have not yet included from one of my prints, please feel free to contact me via e-mail.
