Twenty years ago I abandoned a dream in photography to do what I thought others wanted me to do. I did a good job. I worked hard and achieved. I even enjoyed it and am eternally gateful for what I learned and gained as a growing individual. Each year, though, I grew more aware of the artist in myself that I was starving. It took a mental health crisis to finally gather the courage I needed to answer back that small voice who, for so long, had been crying out to create. What I have found so far is that I am brave, I am an outdoors person, I am an artist, a photographer, a naturalist, and an advocate. I intend to use my photography for good, showcasing the ways that nature loves us back - a photographic practice of gratitude for the beauty that nature provides. I know I am on The Path.
