Statement

I am introducing a world through photographs and creating narratives through my images. The viewer can construct a sense of what the work shows them, absorbing the story behind each image. Or, perhaps there is no story. That will be for the viewer to formulate. Art is to embrace all aspects of the healing process. To experience life in each moment, to be present, to be, to just be. I have always embraced and welcomed the act of just being. To be able to acknowledge and simply sit in each moment as life surprises you with the simple acts of beauty. Nature goes its course as the seasons change. Humans have discovered the act of disrupting the natural process of living. So my artwork touches on the beauty of what surrounds you in each passing moment. You are meant to be where you are as time churns slowly. Humans are quick to disown the beauty of the present because we are only, naturally, too wrapped up in our harsh realities. Experience where the image takes you, where your mind goes. My art is to provoke you, to bring about questioning what it is that you are seeing, to what you are feeling.
