Nature Abstracts

My work explores the transformative experience of being in and reconnecting with nature. I watch the magic of light play and reflection. From this connection, I follow the light and what beckons, and inspires wonder.  I want to share the beauty of these moments and inspire others to cultivate joy and appreciation of nature and the environment.

Reasons Why I'm Late

I have daily practice of photographing glimmers - ephemeral, yet powerful, moments of joy and awe - in the everyday, mostly along my walk to work.
