Artist Statement
I am an emerging art photographer dedicated to creating subjective and interpretive images of our shared American landscape. My work explores the trunks of cottonwoods, the gold of Mojave dust, slanted moonlight and crisp shadows, and the flowing curves of man’s creations, with a recognition that nature and our own hands tell a story of what once was and may still be.
My life’s experiences of solving problems of precision have confirmed that artistic vision, through photography, unfolds slowly, and only across extended periods of time. And while my journey has covered layers of time within landscape, sports and event photography, my art has grown through intense work in the National Park Photography Expedition’s landscape art program. These influences have helped me develop an aesthetic for impressionistic images that venture beyond sheer representation of nature and things, to images that originate in my mind as representing an Americana Earthscape narrative.
