I am fascinated by the intricate details of nature and how they mirror the complexities of our emotions and mental health. My journey with photography began in my youth, quietly capturing the beauty of the natural world on my parents' hobby farm in central Minnesota. Through macro plant photography, I explore themes of stillness, resilience, and the enduring beauty that exists even after life fades from plant cells. My work is a testament to the art of seeing - finding the extraordinary in the overlooked.

My artistic philosophy centers on the act of conscious observation - seeing the unseen and valuing the moment of discovery. Photography, for me, is more than an art form; it is a means of navigating and making sense of my experiences with anxiety and depression. Through my lens, I seek to capture the essence of being truly present, encouraging viewers to explore their consciousness and find beauty in the small details of life.

What makes you different from all the other photographers out there?
Having a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art with a concentration in Graphic Design my eye looks for unique angles, textured backgrounds, vibrant colors and the overall shape and feeling of the images.

How long have you been doing this?
I have been taking photos since I was in grade school, shooting professionally after graduating from the University of Wisconsin - Stout in 2002. I have been capturing gardens since 2004.
