Artist - Photographer - Visual Storyteller

Art, for me, has always been a dialogue between what I see and what the viewer feels. I create unapologetic art—work that doesn’t ask permission to exist, but instead invites the viewer to feel something honest and personal. Each image is a visual story, open to interpretation, waiting for the viewer to bring their own experiences and emotions to complete it.

My journey with photography began in the landscapes of the American West and has evolved through observation, travel, and fascination with light, texture, and form. Now based in Florida, my work continues to explore the meeting place between beauty and truth—where nature, time, and emotion converge.

I’m drawn especially to black and white photography because it strips away distraction and reveals the soul of the subject or place. Without color to guide perception, what remains is pure feeling—the subtle interplay of light and shadow, silence and movement, presence and memory.

Across my collections, from landscapes to quiet studies of form, I strive to tell stories that are both intimate and universal—stories that echo something within us. My hope is that each piece becomes more than an image on the wall; it becomes a shared experience, a moment of reflection, a spark that lingers.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. I invite you to slow down, look closely, and discover what stories unfold for you within each frame. I’m continually adding new pieces as my journey and creative process evolve, so I welcome you to bookmark this site and visit again—there’s always something new waiting to be seen.
