Whether I’ve known it or not, the creative arts have always been a part of my life.

As a child, I was an avid drawer. As a teenager and young adult, I taught myself how to play piano. And I loved making movies, from screenwriting, operating a camera, to editing sound and video. As life moved on, there wasn't much time to do those things anymore and so they went by the wayside.

Fast forward to the 2020 pandemic and the desire for a creative outlet struck. I found photography and instantly fell in love. It was exhilirating to have the ability to capture a moment in time that might otherwise have been a lost memory. From an eagle swooping down towards the water to catch a fish, to fun-filled activities with friends, these moments live forever in pictures.
