As a photographer, I'm drawn to the beauty of the natural world, and I find myself endlessly inspired by the textures, colors, and light that can be found in the earth and its surroundings. Playing with earth textures, pastel colors, reflective surfaces, and natural light allows me to create images that are both striking and evocative, capturing the essence of the natural world in all its complexity and depth--mirroring the complexity of the human condition. Whether I am working with delicate pastels or bold earth tones, reflective surfaces or rough textures, I strive to capture the nuance of the world around me, creating images that are bemotionally resonant. I see myself and human struggles in the natural cycles of the earths seasons, state of constant change, and the oscillation between the extremes. With each photograph I take, I seek to connect the moods of the natural world to our own.
