Scenic, landscape and nature photography are terms that evoke places we’ve seen with our eyes.

To describe my Fine Art Photography collection, there is only one word that comes to mind - ineffable. Despite my planned location, structure and composition, there’s a Soul’s nudge that practically grabs me by the ears, turning my attention to a new angle, perspective or entire content.

Through my lens of gratitude nature continues to sculpt and paint these pieces of fluidic art, often surprising me with something far greater than what I set out to capture.

Simply stated, photography and writing saved my life. What began in my preteen days of journaling evolved into a dialogue between myself and That which clearly knows more than I.

In my teens I was blessed with a creative writing teacher/mentor who convinced me to overcome my fear of sharing my written thoughts.

Sensitive to my desired anonymity he promised to type them without crediting me so that he could share them publicly with others.

It was then that I began to realize how many of us share the same “chapters” that force us to either give up or grow.
