ARTIST STATEMENT
I want to create contemplative images that remind viewers that beauty and grace are always nearby - overlooked, hidden or forgotten - within our ordinary everyday worlds.
Photography is not my way of recording the world, but my way of encountering it. It is a spiritual practice as much as it is a creative practice. It has become a survival technique in these maddening times..
Perhaps it is the discipline from earlier theological studies, but I understand our human condition best through metaphors. I look for glimpses of something mystical in the physical world. At a time when grace and hope are what the world needs most, a little reckless, magical thinking can't hurt.
