About Me
The wild places surrounding my home in Chattanooga serve as mirrors of my emotions and subconscious, nurturing gratitude, reflection, and mindful presence. Nature teaches me patience and resilience, values I carry into my art and environmental advocacy. My work explores the deep connection between the natural world and my inner landscape.
My artistic journey began in 2020, photographing the stillness of my town during the COVID-19 lockdown. Though I briefly experimented with 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 exploring the local woods, observing seasonal shifts, and translating those quiet moments into art.
Through my work, I aim to inspire others to slow down, reconnect with the natural places around them, and recognize the beauty within themselves—and the importance of protecting the land that sustains us.
