While I hate to be in front of the camera, I have discovered that I love to be behind it. Nature speaks to my soul. It is my source of energy and fresh perspective on life and the problems around me. I love to go out and find something beautiful in the small details of the outdoors. I have found this in everything from trees to mushrooms, or icicles to gum spots. While I usually create art just for myself, I don't mind sharing it with others in small ways. I am always looking for sources of inspiration. As an artist and future teacher I hope to be a source of inspiration to those around me. Through the pictures I capture I share my individual perspective on the world around me and the beauty and inspiration found within it.
