"In today's world, everyone's life seems hard-wired for fast-paced action, in every aspect of their lives. Almost every waking hour is filled, hurriedly moving from one scheduled event to the next, fulfilling an endless list of demands. We are moving at 'blinding speed,' making us incapable of seeing and experiencing the beauty around us. The medium and language I use to spread and communicate my message is that of the black and white silver gelatin photograph and the vocabulary is found in the natural world around us. I use nature as my subject matter because it is a powerful restorative and soothing force, which I return to again and again in the hope that I will find a way to communicate those feelings and inspire all those who see it within my work."
