My little corner of the world

Texture

Texture is life. It’s a reminder that these are dynamic, physical objects that demand engagement. Texture conveys complexity and intricacy and I find something inherently compelling about the ways different textures show up in our world.

Pattern

I’m obsessed with capturing the abstract beauty of nature- it feels like finding the treasure that’s hiding in plain sight.

Noticing the intricacies of objects we pass by a thousand times a day, I begin to have a deeper appreciation of everything around us. Trees no longer seem like just trees but incredibly intricate systems, all with unique stories and functions. You start to see the diversity and sheer volume of life that surround us, often only in our periphery. I want to move the peripheral into view and highlight the odd and beautiful.

To know me is to know that I like color. Love color! It energizes me and brings me joy. This world is filled with the most truly brilliant colors and I am intent on capturing them with my lens. I want to show that we exist inside of a vast spectrum. To show that nature is actually the most brilliant artist,

Life

Macro photography is a glimpse into a secret world populated by our tiniest inhabitants. Instead of feeling like a large animal on this planet, I imagine myself shrinking down to the size of these seemingly invisible critters and it makes me feel in awe of the size of our universe. It is truly humbling. I feel a deep privilege in getting to view these creatures, behaviors, and habitats up close.
