StatementI can't recall when I was not creating, witnessing, or following art, either with my camera or through another creative venture. I'm always looking for a story, whether that be noticing daily interactions between people, with nature, I've loved taking a closer look in order to find purpose. Edward Hopper once said, as I often relfect how I carry myself, that, "Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.”
