Artist’s Statement
When I am making photographs, I feel completely alive and connected with my true self. Making images allows me to be present. Framed in awareness, sights take on new meaning as shades of gray color my world. Light transforms simple objects into forms of enchantment. Scenes present themselves and I photograph them, gratefully losing myself within time. I appreciate each new subject and attempt to embrace its individual and unique characteristics, to let the essence of the story unfold. I am intrigued and enamored with the act of observation, interpretation and the visual narrative.
