Artist Statement

I look for universal moments of beauty in nature and moments of distinctive light that are often overlooked in the rush of modern urban life. I began my photographic career as a photojournalist, working for newspapers and then national magazines. As a photojournalist, I looked for universal moments of humanity. I also specialized in environmental portraiture. My fine art photography practice looks at everyday moments of beauty around us.

Photography has always been my way to explore and try to understand the world. I embrace the mission stated by Edward Steichen, curator of the groundbreaking New York Museum of Modern Art 1955 traveling exhibition “The Family of Man,” who said: “The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.” Photography is a universal language which speaks to us on an emotional level. I hope my work plays a small part in helping us better understand and appreciate our world, ourselves, and each other.
