About

The world is seen in layers, stacking colors and ideas, shapes and patterns onto each other as if one were walking through their day with blurred vision, not taking in specifics but piecing together various parts and overlapping them, sensing what’s all around us that we sometimes miss when caught in our thoughts.  What develops is another realm of existence expressed through tonality, textures and sounds.  My composite images attempt to unveil the interaction we have with all things.  It’s photography that represents my personal experience of the world.  They are stories of multiple and personal dimensions, reflecting my emotional life, my inner turmoil, my passions and my sense of freedom in the world.
