I am a photographic artist: I paint with the landscape and my camera to create my images the way a painter uses brush and paint.

'by taking the time you'll see more and look differently'

Taking time is the common thread in my work. I imagine and express what touches me and share it with the world.

For me the landscape is a means of expressing how I look and feel about what touches me. The way a painter uses brush and paint, I paint with the landscape and my camera to create my images. With this different view, I hope to inspire others to explore what touches them.

We live in a rushed world. Everything seems to be happening at a fast pace. Taking the time for something shifts far into the background as a result. It is a pace that challenges me to deal with, to continue to follow my own path and rhythm and to slow down, because it is necessary. After all, by taking the time I will see more and look differently.

In a sometimes hectic, restless and hard world, I hope that my images inspire you to stand still, evoke an emotion and invite you to reflect on what is seen.
