Condensed Artist Statement
I seek to offer snapshots of places and spaces often avoided and/or misunderstood. The visual arts allow me to document experiences that don’t always make the headlines of newspapers. My interests include or have included: documentary, street, entertainment, artistic, nature, travel, models, automotive, portraits, and animals.
