I capture the language of light with my camera, lenses, modifiers, and flowers to create one-of-a-kind abstract compositions.

The focus on a small point of detail within each bloom acts as a meditative catalyst that carries me, and subsequently the viewer, through the Maya - the illusions of our minds and the limitations of our intellect - to arrive at the truth of our hearts

The medium itself - a photograph often confused for a painting - reinforces the exploration of perception, perspective, and reality.

This concept is further built upon through the abstract representation of the subject, which gives precedent to a visceral emotional response, letting the heart lead the mind on the path to true knowing.

Steeped in their own language, esoteric symbolism, and traditionally used as gifts to express our feelings and emotions, flowers serve as the perfect subject to complement the narrative of each piece.
