ARTIST STATEMENT
"Driven by a passion for travel, my goal is to capture a still image that accurately conveys the spirit and drama of the landscape: the weather, the light, and the subject matter. While mostly I work to transform these variables into a powerful experience, I thrive in the fleeting moments when the elements of a great photo fall into place naturally. Photography has given me a deeper appreciation for these elements, and a profound respect for the mystical forces of nature that allow such harmony to occur." "My photographs are intended to be both contemplative and meditative; my goal is to evoke emotion and awareness by presenting the power of nature, while allowing us to marvel at its simple beauty. My images capture a fleeting moment in time, never to be seen again. They present a dichotomy of nature’s harmony: subtle, understated beauty one moment; bold and intimidating power the next. From this passion is born a portfolio of photographs showcasing strength, purity, and deceiving simplicity. Each photograph tells a story, but that story can only be realized through personal introspection and the awakening of one’s own senses, experiences, and awareness."
