Artist Statement

My artistic journey frequently leads me to the awe-inspiring beauty of our national parks and the tranquil backroads of America. Through my photography, I strive to capture not only the visual splendor but also the emotional essence of these places - where life unfolds with intensity and vibrancy. I employ dramatic color, balance, mood, and light to heighten the viewer's sense of vision, discovery, and connection to the natural world. My hope is that these images will inspire a shared sense of responsibility for these cherished lands and treasures. May we all work together to cherish and sustain them for the benefit of generations to come.

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul." ~ John Muir

"It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment." ~ Ansel Adams
