Forest art - Modern Nature photography

On a weekend trip to Napa Valley,  I was totally inspired by the mighty Oaks surrounding what can only be described as our lodging in a perfect treehouse. I wanted to transform our condo walls to recreate this sensation of modern treehouse life. A series of oversized Giclee' Canvas' and Fine art photographs printed on a rich Metallic art paper became reality. Custom sizing, by request.

Petite 10 x 10" prints are currently available in the Nature Collection at

Life is like riding a bicycle.

"A bicycle does get you there and more...

There is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive.

Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal

and getting there is all the fun."

- Bill Emerson, Saturday Evening Post 1967

For my Seattle brother Bill Serantoni - 

As you transfer from mountain climbing to biking, 

wishing you safe cycling during diehard racing season.
