Artist Statement

I consider myself a Nature Photographer. My lifestyle and career has allowed me to enjoy the marine environment. I enjoy the chance to share this unique environment and organisms with the general public. I find it very relaxing to allow my mind to create the fish and starfish from different mediums. In Photography I always have some type of camera on my person. You never know when you will see that perfect shot.
