Through capturing photographic imagery from personal sacred space, dreams and the natural world, I create my own language of metaphors and special symbolism. This is visual journaling of what’s important to me and my inner thoughts and ideas are made visible through my technique and my choice of subject matter.  I believe we are formed by images and we need to develop a critical intake and understanding of what we are seeing.

There are reoccurring images throughout my work from spiritual pilgrimages, family, the natural
world and dreams that are important to me.  I return often to placing a special black stone in my
work that represents me.   This is an important touchstone of meditation and memory which
allows me to be placed in the spiritual spaces that I capture and compose.  Light and shadow are
also a reoccurring symbolism representing spiritual and self-awareness. By encountering the
push and pull of both my light and my shadow, I expose myself to a source of life otherwise not
seen.  For me, this is where divinity is found.
