Examining the parts that form a whole is central to my understanding of how the natural world can lift and restore the spirit. My work is grounded in an appreciation of how individual elements—color, line, shape, and movement—interact to support one another and create balance and flow.

     I experience a kind of spiritual grounding through close observation of nature’s smaller details. By focusing on these fragments, I am drawn inward, discovering how each contributes to the larger rhythm and structure of the living world. Working primarily with botanicals allows me to explore this sense of immersion—the feeling of moving ever deeper into nature, and the quiet realization and discovery that remain upon emerging.

     I use both conventional and unconventional photographic methods and materials to evoke the seductive presence of nature and its lingering impressions. When one is open to this experience, I believe it can foster a deeper awareness of—and appreciation for—the continual flow of life.

Photographing nature, and flowers in particular, brings me profound joy. It is my hope that, through this work, I may share some of that joy with you.
