Artist’s Statement
My images are created in the forests of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and reflect my intimate relationship to this landscape that I inhabit. Our beautiful forests are complex communities of interrelated and interacting individuals, each with their own story to tell. In my images, I look beyond large-scale landscape scenes to the individual trees, stones, and rivers who comprise these communities. I seek not simply beauty but stories—moments suggestive of intimacy and connection between these individuals.
I create my images with a bare minimum of editing or or post-processing. The majority of my creative process occurs before I click the shutter, relying on thoughtful exposure, careful composition, and a keen eye for ephemeral moments of evocative light.
