I don’t describe my work in terms of categories…..I enjoy capturing moments in a gritty urban setting just as much as in the serenity of nature, and I find equal value in both.  Whether it’s an arranged shoot of ballerinas in Over-the-Rhine, or a spontaneous ‘pull off the side of the road’ shot because I found a sunflower field, I live for those moments when the universe reminds me why we are here.  On occasion, an image cries out for further life beyond the photograph, and that’s when I consider it a privilege to translate that desire to canvas through brush and paint.  Either way, capturing, creating, and sharing these moments is one of my greatest joys.
