When I began my creative journey a number of years ago, I had no idea where it would take me… I really didn’t want to know. I just wanted to try and enjoy it, to relish in it every day.
“All I wanted was to live a life where I could be me, and be okay with that. I had no need for material possessions, money or even close friends with me on my journey. All I wanted was my art and the chance to be the creator of my own world, my own reality. I wanted the open road and new beginnings every day. ”

I have been asked, “Is it your goal to make it BIG in the photography world?” My answer, is simply NO. I only want to continue to be me and create; where ever it leads me I will be happy with that. Enjoying the journey and learning from our mistakes as well as life’s ups and downs is what it is all about!

While holding this publication in your hands, it is not about reading it… it is about experiencing it. The thick and luxurious pages of fine art and literature transport me right into a place of soul quenching inspiration.
