Artist Statement

Small things matter, and we are all connected to a bigger system. An action now, today, would have been the result of the previous action and this could, in turn, lead to future action. Photography conveys messages differently to each viewer, alters people’s opinions, instils ideals, transfers experiences across place and time, effect social change, provides a voice, and evokes many emotions and feelings. My hope is that my photographs bring the viewers of my work joy, spark a forgotten memory, maybe fill a void, make my viewers think, or see things rather than just look. My visions are unique and truly one-of-a-kind and convey meaning. I want to invite you to experience my photographic art, a journey through my lens and experience the world only as I see it.
