Artist Statement
The world around us is a beautiful, amazing, living thing and something that I am very passionate about. From the waters of our rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans, to the mysterious forests, to the caverns deep underground, I travel with my camera to capture this wonder of our planet. It is my goal, through my own artistic vision, to bring that beauty into the lives of others.
I often explore the parks and forests surrounding my own home town, always looking for that one magical place where the light is just right, the atmosphere calm and serene. I take a few moments to enjoy, and then I set up my gear and let the scene dictate my movements and images. I always remember to leave the scene as it was found so that it may be enjoyed by others in the same manner it was enjoyed while I was there.
Having always had an affinity for nature, my current work has delved into some of the more interesting and obscure, such as the beautiful caves and caverns in Ohio and the surrounding states, and the many gems found locally within the Cleveland Metroparks system. There is beauty and wonder all around us, but in today’s busy environment, many people do not get the opportunity to experience this. My work brings that directly to them. My hope is that when someone sees the world through my photography, they too will go out and experience it for themselves.
