Statement:
I like to visualize emotion in my work, and weave a story with shapes, lines, and colors. I look for the unexpected in the mundane, the interplay of light and shadow in form.
Capturing the emotive moment inspires me. I believe that the purpose of all visual art is to evoke an emotional response from the viewer, and that creative photography is no exception. My art is intentional and my familiarity with the written word allows me to fuse multiple disciplines into my work to give rise to a unique perspective, to capture images visually in a timeless way.
