Photography

To create the “Night Lights” series, I used extended exposures and movement, essentially “painting” with my camera and an outdoor light, with the nighttime darkness as my canvas. My aim was to capture a feeling of music and fluidity, of dancing with the light. Each piece has its own tempo and melody.

The series focuses on coaxing the beauty out of a rusty, discarded everyday object. The textures, shapes and colors seem to have a movement of their own and remind me of a symphony conductor's swooping arcs.

Metal Springs Photo Series

I found this tiny creature outside our house after hearing a smack against a window.

I wanted to capture the beauty of its delicate features. They’re blue to reflect the sadness of death.

My Blue Bird Photo Series

I am often looking down at the ground to find hidden gems. I love the way water reflects our world back to us like looking through a special lens. Trees and plants have always been a fascination of mine.
