"My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires." ~Hazrat Inayat Khan
My interest in photography all started with my grandpa Henry. He loved to travel and always had a camera in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He passed away when I was very young and I started using his cameras as a way to remember him.
I am primarily self-taught, but in 2006 decided to enhance my skills by enrolling in an immersion program for photography. Since then, I have participated in exhibits across the country, received several awards and two artist-in-resident grants. I am currently pursuing a B.F.A.
Photography is a way to capture fleeting moments in a world that is forever changing. It is the creative outlet that helps me to process what is happening simultaneously between my inner and outer worlds. Therefore, the final image is not only a moment preserved but it is a reflection of my mind’s eye and deepest emotions…full of melancholy, hope, heaviness, and light.
