Waist
deep in swamps and trudging miles through mud,
I am not your average Florida native photographer.
I was born and raised in Palm Beach County. From
a very young age, I seized every opportunity to
draw and paint. I looked at most things in my
environment with a creative eye, paying special
attention to the natural things around me. I developed
a passion for wildlife and Florida's native species.
Over the years, I have watched the destruction
and devastation developers pressed upon Florida's
natural environment. As natural habitats were
bulldozed and forests were cleared, I wondered
how I could preserve majestic Florida. I realized
I could use my talents as an artist to capture
the essence of Florida's natural environments
and wildlife through my photography. I venture
out into remote areas preserved for Florida's
unique and sometimes rare species of flora and
fauna. Through my photography I capture the raw
emotion of the environment. It often seems as
if my camera has feelings, but I know it is the
beauty in my surroundings that inspire these unique
works of art.
