I am a medium-format travel photographer and artist in Southern California. I've been blessed to work in a craft that is my calling. As a pastel artist, I find this medium directly translates to my photography, which has been described as poetic, soft, and serene. I do hope it evokes those feelings in the viewer. I've always been drawn to the Pictorialist style of photography, especially Léonard Misonne's body of work, characterized by soft, painterly scenes with cloudscapes and other atmospheric effects. My artwork often includes an open canvas and features color as the hero.
