About

 

“I create because I am immensely curious to see what will happen next. Often it’s not what I expect.”

I’m drawn to how the simple pieces we can find on a daily walk speak volumes about our culture and environment. Discarded human-made objects encroaching and inevitably integrating with the graceful creations of nature. I focus on harmoniously combining these artifacts to paint an honest portrait of our landscapes today. My hope is that these photographs will encourage people to appreciate the power of nature through the seasons, slow down and notice the little things, and contemplate the enormous importance of maintaining balance in all areas of life.
