I give the viewer a doorway into their own moment of wonder, where they may experience the same sense of peace that I found when I was creating the image.

By meticulous planning, these richly detailed photographic tableaux are devised to invite the viewer to at first question, and then piece together the whole story for themselves.

I am inspired by the natural sacred presence of nature and how that energy shows up as direct transmission of light in my work.

I love meeting my collectors in person to hear what it is that draws them to a particular piece. I learn so much from them and consider it a privilege to be able to sell my art in this way.

I am excited when I find new ways to show the viewer the beauty of nature. I hope that it uplifts them. I want to support them on their journey through life. I feel that I am revealing the soul of nature.

I have learned the value of lighting and how to control lighting; it is the main part of any photograph–without light you have no image.

As artists, we all have goals for the work we create and share. I regard each image a success when it brings even the smallest measure of wonder and joy to those who see it.

The inspiration for my work generally comes easily and frequently. I can be inspired by a moment of conversation, an unusual cloud formation, reading an inspirational story, or a piece of artwork.

My fine art photography really feeds my soul. I am only too happy to wake up at 4:30AM for a chance to capture the perfect sunrise, or drive 1,000 miles in three days to shoot the Maine coastline.
