Artist Statement
Photography is an integral part of who I am. It's impossible to explain how much the entire experience fills the creative soul. The soul who loves Nature beyond belief. It's the scent, the sounds, the wind, or the sun. It's the drop of dew on a leaf, or the way the light dances upon the limbs of a tree. It's a full-on, in-the-moment soul expanding joy that allows me to revel in being a tiny part of the fabric of the Universe. It's a way to share those moments of total immersion.
