PHOTOGRAPHER - DIGITAL ARTS TEACHER - ARTS PROGRAM Developer
My photography takes me through rural and urban landscapes, as well as the everyday objects that we encounter so frequently that we may no longer notice their unique qualities. It is my passion to capture the spirit and essence of these subjects, engaging the interest and imagination of the viewer. My artistic process is a journey of discovery and reflection, pushing me beyond my boundaries, and enabling me to create and share my unique perspective.
Currently, my artwork draws inspiration from Surrealism due to its capacity to invite us to craft our own narratives from the images we encounter.
In this surreal world, I contemplate the concept of hope and its expression through my art. My work serves as a catalyst for meaningful conversations, stimulating thought and reflection.
My artistic practice revolves around creating imagery that sparks dialogue and encourages viewers to contemplate. I juxtapose elements of nature and animals from their natural habitats into our own, allowing the audience to interpret the images according to their unique perspectives. Art serves as a sanctuary for processing internal and external struggles, nurturing hope and equilibrium.

Vanishing Landscapes and Found Objects
Nature reclaims and reassembles abandoned architecture and discarded objects. Through the passage of time and exposure to the elements, these objects are transformed into creations of beautiful colors, patterns, and textures. The reclaimed object may be an abstraction or a visual statement documenting the power of nature to possess and prevail over man-made things. Eventually, these ruins vanish from our landscape. I am fascinated and inspired by the art created by nature and I use photography to capture the unexpected beauty that emerges during this process.
As a photographer, I am drawn to nature and architecture as my subjects. I enjoy photographing rural and urban landscapes as well as the everyday objects that we see so frequently that we may no longer notice their unique qualities. It is my passion to capture the spirit and essence of these subjects to engage the interest and imagination of the viewer.
The last six B&W photographs were shot in the 1990s using Kodak High Speed Infrared Film.
