Artist Statement

All artists and their creativity is a constant work in progress.

I use photography as a means to document the world around me. I create images that call attention to things that are often overlooked. This exploration of the overlooked helps me engage more deeply with where I am in space and time. My goal is to make photographs that draw viewers into the now. A focus on details keeps us in the present, it stops us from fretting on the future or regretting the past. My photographs are like a physical meditation.

My choice of subject comes from my interest in ideas about beauty, and emotional connections. I enjoy finding photographs that capture times or places. I have found that capturing the unique and often forgotten elements around us creates a feeling of nostalgia and warmth. Focusing on the composition of my work and lighting has created a flow to what you see.
