Artist Statement

Photography is the bridge I invite you to cross over so that you can see the world through my eyes.

My goal is for each photograph to move you the viewer by its beauty, simplicity and balance and lead you deeper inside the image and inside yourself. I want you to see what I see, but also see aspects of yourself in each photograph.

Deep wilderness, stark urban landscapes, empty beaches and deserted rural areas are what draw me. There is where I find fleeting dreamlike moments, sets to unknown movies and ordinary objects that are alive with harmony, rhythm and depth.

My work has recently shifted towards the aspect of reflection, ‘a folding back onto oneself’ and how focusing outward through the camera lens has the opposite effect: that of
looking into the photographer. This aspect of reflection fascinates and inspires me.

My hope is that my photographs will influence you the viewer to slow down a bit, look into the image, look inside yourself and ultimately find a story in the photograph that belongs to you and you alone.
