Artist Statement

I once photographed a flower a day as a reminder that beauty abounds, and we should seek it daily – even during tough times. Now I see that it is the abundance of beauty needing our attention. With that lens, I created this body of work on a single day as the light and music called my camera and me into the forest. Beauty abounds. Seek it daily.
