Artist Statement

My exposure to visual art began when I was a very small child. I became entranced with photography at the age of seven when I spent a summer watching my grandfather craft black and white portraits with an old box camera. He incorporated the resulting 8×10 portraits into photo albums that served as conversation pieces whenever I visited my grandparents.

The seed my grandfather planted matured into an ever growing fascination with art history and photography, and I found delight in nature’s shapes, colors and patterns. I am inspired by the works of Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell, Alfred Steiglitz, James Randklev, Eliot Porter, Carr Clifton and Paul Strand (among others).

I believe that photographic images can provide us with an opportunity for conversation based on our individual observations and experiences of nature, creation and of the world as we see it. It is my hope that my images will be a starting place for dialog and witness as they relate to our own expressions of vision, hope and possibilities.
