About Me
Based in Chattanooga, TN, my work explores the deep connection between nature and the inner self. The landscapes around me—rustling leaves, flowing streams, and quiet, wild places that offer solace—act as mirrors of my emotions and subconscious. They nurture gratitude, reflection, and mindful presence. Nature teaches me patience and resilience, values I carry into my art and environmental advocacy.
My artistic journey began in 2020, photographing the stillness of my town during the COVID-19 lockdown. Though I briefly explored other forms of photography, I was ultimately drawn back to the natural spaces that shaped me as a child. Today, I spend much of my time hiking with my dog, observing seasonal changes, and translating those quiet moments into art.
Through my work, I aim to inspire others to slow down, reconnect with the natural world around them, and recognize the beauty within themselves—and the importance of protecting what sustains us.
