Biography
ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
I am a lens-based artist focused on exploring the interplay of light and shadow, moment and story. As a visual storyteller, I strive to capture moments in time, using my camera to add depth and lead the viewer into the scene. . . People, places, animals, actions – for me, inspiration is everywhere. Horses are my passion, and my primary subjects. In the wild, in competition, at work and at rest, the powerful movement and graceful lines of horses continue to draw me in. In the American West, I never tire of photographing the men and women who work in wide open spaces, caring for cattle and horses and each other while they preserve tradition from generation to generation.
