My digital photography is influenced by a lifelong love of nature and everyday beauty which began while growing up on a small farm in the Missouri Ozarks. As far back as I can remember, I have felt a strong connection to countryside, woods, and streams. My subjects, while not limited to the out-of-doors, are often found in my backyard, nearby gardens, woods, or the countryside near Lexington, Kentucky.
To capture the beauty of my everyday world, I frequently use macro or close-up images. As I get physically closer to my subject, I often see details not previously noticed, such as the intricate veins of a leaf, mushroom gills, or the golden-rimmed eye of a toad. These details often reveal unexpected designs, textures, or colors, resulting in a sense of mystery and awe. My intent is to capture images that portray how extraordinary the ordinary can be and to share the sense of wonder that I feel.
My photographs are the basis for my line of note cards, which are sold both wholesale and retail. My images are also available as fine-art prints in a variety of sizes and I invite inquiries regarding use for publication.
