Lance Iverson

Local Artist

Lance Iverson, is also a very interesting artist, he specializes in Photography and photo montages. He has been doing custom work of his own for over 20 years. His most interesting photo-montage collection, is called 'Altered Views', which were inspired by his fascination for close up photography. Commonplace images are transformed to challenge the perception of the viewer. 

"By turning things upside down and superimposing images, I introduce confusion while at the same time maintaining the overall effect of a coherent whole. I think of art as making something familiar look like something else. I have always been intrigued by colors, patterns, and forms of small things enlarged."
