My work is on permanent display at Harbour View Gallery in Cape Coral, FL.

​

I don’t photograph wildlife to identify species or keep lists. I photograph moments — the quiet interactions between animals and the environments they inhabit. My work begins with observation: watching how birds move through light, how predators adapt, and how wildness continues to exist alongside everyday human spaces.

​

Much of my photography is rooted in Florida’s wetlands, where herons, hawks, and snail kites share canals, docks, and neighborhoods with the people who live there. These familiar places taught me to slow down and notice subtle behavior — the pause before flight, the rhythm of wings, the small details that reveal personality and resilience. Over time, that way of seeing expanded beyond my backyard to distant ecosystems, yet the intention remains the same: to look for connection rather than spectacle.

​

Whether I am watching a burrowing owl near a suburban street or flamingos moving together across distant lakes, I am drawn to the balance between strength and vulnerability that exists in all wildlife. My goal is not simply to show what an animal looks like, but to create an emotional sense of presence — images that invite viewers to feel as though they are standing quietly within the scene.

​

My background in mathematics shapes how I think about structure and composition, while my life as a symphony musician (French horn) adds another layer to how I experience the world. Music has taught me to recognize rhythm, harmony, and timing — qualities that influence the way I frame a moment and wait for it to unfold. 

​

Above all, I hope my work encourages people to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the sense of wonder that exists both close to home and far beyond it.
