Artist Statement:

I feel most alive when I am out wandering. Every chance encounter with a wild animal invigorates me. Those precious moments when we both stop entirely and regard one another, then the acceptance in watching that sentient being go about the business of daily life without any further concern for me are gifts. I love to venture off the beaten path, to marvel at things I’ve never seen, noticed or appreciated before, to learn about place through immersion and to breathe it all in. And then my heart is full. Through my photography, I aim to capture the beauty, character, and personality of the wild so that you can feel that appreciation, too. Follow me as we explore wild places near and far, find the appreciation in the “ordinary” around us, and revel in the wonder of wilderness encounters. I hope that you are inspired to get out there, too.
