Each and every place we venture to impacts us. They change not just our view of the physical world but also that internal world, the one we often reference and call our “own.” It’s only human nature to be so absorbed in our own little world, comparing ours to others; hoping and striving to achieve what we see as desirable. I too find myself doing that far too often; comparing one place to the next. But through my paintings and my photos, I’ve found that every place has its own beauty, one that’s not to be compared. So instead, I take every place as an opportunity to see a new view, because no matter how many people have stood in the same place before me, we each see something slightly different, in the way of our own little world.

My Photos-captured and paintings-made are just as impactful. They create a perspective of a moment, of a memory. I strive to learn, embrace, and adapt to all the alterations of our world. Below are some of my captured moments; these are the moments I love, the views that inspire me, and the ones I hope to always remember as viscerally as the day I stood before it.
