Photographing the natural world, for me, is a contemplative process. I am drawn into patterns, reflections, form, and light; while I’m photographing, time disappears.
Through my fine art photography, I want to capture a sense of place that may not be literal but holds the feeling or essence of what I’m seeing or experiencing. I’m drawn to a sense of movement and fluidity in images and work with montages, movement, multiple exposures, and infrared as tools to capture a moment in time.
In 2003, following a lifelong interest in photography, I attended the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Montana for a 3-month intensive program. I have studied with and been inspired by many fine art photographers, including Eddie Soloway, Elizabeth Opalenik, and Freeman Patterson.
I am captivated by the intricate patterns, reflections, and the play of light found in nature. For me, the process of capturing these elements is meditative. As I immerse myself in my surroundings, time seems to fade away. Through my fine art photography, I aim to create images that convey a profound sense of place—not necessarily a literal interpretation, but a reflection of feelings and emotions tied to the essence of the moment.
My work explores themes of movement and fluidity, utilizing techniques such as montages, multiple exposures, and infrared photography. These tools allow me to express the dynamic energy of the environments I photograph. Inspired by the teachings and artistry of renowned photographers, my journey began at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Montana.
Photography has been a lifelong passion for me, a means of connecting with the world around me in a deeper way. Each photograph is an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate the natural beauty that often goes unnoticed. My hope is that in each image, you’ll find a shared sense of wonder and inspiration.
