Artist Statement "My passion for photography and the images I create are the expressions of my love of nature, adventure and my own personal development as a human and a professional photographer. My passion for photography began with a love of the outdoors. Being surrounded by nature always feels intensely calming and meaningful.
I could say my reaction to being in nature centers me and helps me understand what is important in life. If my imagery is successful in evoking an emotional response, transports the viewer and inspires a viewer, I’ve done my job”.
