Artist Statement

My goal is to serve mother nature and my community through fine art photography. With artistry and technical excellence, my work serves to both educate and inspire a love for the natural world.

My vision starts with the imaginative story, often told through poetry or creative writing assignments. This helps me to settle on themes and pre-visualize my compositions. Using my vision as a guide, I will design a structure for the story, where each photo will tell a section or a chapter. From here, I will plan my locations, season and time of day to fit the narrative. Then, I will journey on location to explore nature and capture my vision using my digital camera for the source photographs. Finally, I create the image from my source photographs staying true to both the natural scene and to my vision.

My foremost passion explores the emotive image that tells a story and reveals interesting facets of nature. The natural world around us provides a garden to both educate and grow. Nature inspires me to capture imaginative worlds in her honor. Welcome to my world, where you will see a variety of interpretive landscapes, wildlife, insects as well as abstract photographic images that are built from nature’s elements. Nature’s work provides the source of my artistic freedom and vision.

“Feel the emotion, live the story, expose the imagination.”
