About Me
The wild places surrounding my home in Chattanooga, TN reflect my emotions and subconscious, offering space for gratitude, reflection, and mindful presence. These spaces teach patience and resilience - values that shape both my creative work and environmental advocacy. My image collections explore many spiritual filaments that have long connected the natural world to my inner landscape.
I first turned to photography during the stillness of the COVID-19 lockdown, drawn to the silence that settled over my town. Though I explored different approaches along the way, I ultimately returned to the woods and natural spaces that shaped me in childhood. Today, I spend much of my time following curiosity along familiar paths, observing seasonal shifts, and translating quiet moments into visual form.
Through this work, I invite a slower way of seeing - one that rekindles our bond with the land and reveals the quiet beauty both around us and within. In bearing witness to these fragile, life-giving places, I hope to inspire a deeper reverence for the natural world and a renewed commitment to its care.
