ARTIST STATEMENT: Photography inspires me. To inspire means literally to breathe into and infuse with life. Influencing images influence our thinking, enliven our sensitivity to life’s meanings, arouse us from lethargy, and exalt us by strengthening the heart and restoring the soul. For these purposes, I choose to share my images and welcome all to witness and join in to embrace with all of our hearts our short, but glorious journey we share on earth. In viewing subjects I have enjoyed photographing, I hope others find inspiration so as not to overlook future passing moments and visual treasures.
