Fleur de lis with Willow, Oak and Cypress leaves.
With plenty of water to work with this spring, I decided to print a rain garden! Using fiber based photographic paper, plants and collected rainwater, each 10 x10 lumen print in this Rain Garden series was exposed in the sunlight to create a unique impression of this years spring rain.

At the root of all my work is my worldview. From the tiniest twig to the largest tree, the natural world is a source of inspiration for me, as well as the environment we create for ourselves. As the world becomes more modernized, I often find myself in nature connecting and recognizing humankind’s place in the world. With that thought in mind, I use the 19th century technique of lumen printing to create a true impression of our world. In my lens based photography and songwriting, I explore the world, reflecting on what is, what can be and the relationship between ourselves and nature. I love sharing with others whether through new works, exhibitions, performances/presentations, teaching, and random stories. I believe that when we form a connection, whether it lasts for a moment or a lifetime, the benefits are infinite.
