“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.” (Joseph Campbell) I have always been a visual person and I love being outside exploring nature – my sacred space is there! When I’m outside with my camera I feel at peace and I find myself being engrossed in the ‘umvelt’ of every living creation! I absolutely love observing the world around me and I learn so much about life from the magnificent creation each one is. The focus of my photography is anything that is living and moves! While this presents the obvious challenges of catching a moment of each being’s life, I love that challenge! I find myself drawn to making photo portraits of the flora and fauna around me. I sure agree with John Muir's statement: “Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much larger and better in every way.”
