Artist Statement
Photography is a natural outlet for me to take my observations, curiosity, feelings, and explore more deeply the inner workings of what moves me. I have an acute awareness of mortality that has existed since I was young and this plays a large part in my work. I am inspired by our external and internal landscapes and shadow selves, and am drawn to the natural world, animals, details, beauty, quirkiness, humor, magic, and the ordinary. The duality of presence versus the inevitable offers me a deep appreciation for fleeting moments. I generally work alone and this often comes through my work with isolated subjects that appear lonesome.
I primarily work digitally with a Canon 5d Mark II and a Fuji X-100V, but also have fun with film cameras like Mamiya Universal, Polaroid, Holga, and Diana.
