Artist Statement
As a visual artist I am drawn to photographing what I find compelling in subjects that span from abstracts, to cityscapes and landscapes, to portraits. My portfolio showcases some favorite photographs from the past several years. They range from trips to Italy, France, Ireland and Mexico; areas in the US such as Cape Cod; places in southern California; to my backyard. I strive to create images that not only capture a moment in time, but also captures a feeling or essence.
