About Me

The pacific northwest coast: a rugged landscape constantly changing with the salty sea air, the everyday shift in tides, and the ancient forests that grow right down to the sandy shore. Land that possesses a quiet, serene beauty that forces one to slow down, to observe the small details so often overlooked by others. Dense fog settling into the evergreen trees, storm light transforming the shoreline, the quiet persistence of moss and lichen, all set to the rhythm of the ocean’s steady waves. Having lived here for over twenty-five years, I am continually drawn to the art of landscape and nature photography by these small, living textures which continue to guide my work.

From tide‑pool ecosystems to windswept shore pines, from delicate understory ferns to the wildflowers that appear for just a moment each year — I’m endlessly fascinated by the plant life that defines this region. My camera is often pointed as much at the forest floor as it is at the horizon. To me, the story of a landscape is told through its living details.
