Artist Statement:

Every image of a place or thing tells a story of human life. Barns, general stores, churches, covered bridges, mountains, streams, and wildlife are just a few of the subjects I photograph. I enjoy natural beauty and seek to understand the ideals, icons, and scenes of New England life. Around age 8, I was introduced to the work of Peacham, Vermont photographer Richard W. Brown. A book cover image of a snowy church with a Christmas tree in its window is eternally burned into my mind. This image is at the root of my love for nostalgia and New England. Experiencing the power of photography to inspire and shape lives launched my quest to create work that inspires and shapes the lives of others.
