Artist statement

As a photographer I seek to understand the landscape of human life and our relationships with animals, the planet, and each other. This comes from my insatiable desire to find fresh and new perspectives, especially through traveling. My pursuit is to show others that there are more ways to live than just one. Photography has empowered my vision for beauty and harmony among all and is my greatest tool when life is simply not explicable with words.
