Most of the photographs I take are just snap shots of my everyday life.
They are not great works of art, or important in any way.
But I take each one with the enthusiasm of a beginner. Never really knowing what I am doing. And somehow, I’m okay with that.

It’s the most natural thing in the world. Art helps us understand ourselves as human beings and makes our lives on this planet better.
I love to mix-and-match art. I sometimes have a theme, but I’m never strict in its interpretation. I buy art, mostly from thrift shops, and hang it alongside my photographs. I love to collect art across categories, materials, periods and cultures—always with the idea of creating a conversation between the pieces that feels organic and intimate. I believe that an object's value is not necessarily dictated by its price. I’ve passed on expensive pieces of “real” art in favor of fun and funky pieces that speak to my heart. Art that I fall in love with is coming home with me!

It often feels as though we are rushing from one thing to the next, with little time to stop in between, to rest, to pay attention, to take it all in. But when I have my camera in hand, I am fully present, noticing each and every free and beautiful thing this abundant earth still has to offer up to me, here and now, before the next season.
