ABOUT THE ARTIST
LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER
Looking back, I realize that growing up in the woods—being surrounded by it—created the groundwork for my gratitude that I have toward the natural world around us. Today, that appreciation is greater than ever and growing, which ultimately inspires me to get outside and expose the beauty around us through photography.
When I was very young, I would spend days roaming the Appalachian hard-wooded forests nearby my home. I would wander around in the woods for 4-6 hour periods, completely losing track of time.

“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” – Henry David Thoreau
