Artist Statement

"I use photography as a mechanism to explore the world around me.  I make pictures that capture a moment in a beautiful environment, that I may once again in the future revisit to feel the experience.  I am drawn to geometric patterns concealed in architecture and streetscapes that are missed at first glance, yet provide eye-catching abstracts.

My choice of subject comes from a place of inspiration that can be stimulated by an emotional association, or a small detail I wish to bring greater attention.  I am fascinated with the power of the sun to illuminate and hide in shadow throughout the day as I learn to capture its essence.

Photography has altered my perception of the world, beckoning me to be present in the moment.  I create photos that provide moments of inspiration, curiosity, exhilaration, wonder, contemplation, and enjoyment. "
