Hello all!
If you have reached this page, I thank you for your support and interest.
For my entire life, I have been surrounded by the arts and the outdoors. To me, the two were meant for each other and in conjunction, accomplish so much. I, perchance like you, am on an adventure to combine the two how I may, and to learn in the process.
My background comes from a childhood in alternative education, a degree in domestic and international adventure programming and practice in wilderness guiding and therapeutic work. I have spent most of my past four years traveling between Oregon, Ecuador, Patagonia and Hawaii for work and play. And although I feel so grateful for the ability to live this lifestyle, there is something I have recently found myself missing. An artistic practice, an expression of joy for the life I have the privilege to live.
To me, the outdoors are where people are allowed to be and/or find themselves. We are able to shed the encumbering skins of societal influence; give in to and bask in an environment that expects nothing of us yet provides us a constant stream of experiential knowledge. This experience moves in such parallels, I feel, with the artistic process. Being able to combine them both through photography and story has been my most recent passion and past time.
So again, I want to thank you for your interest in this pursuit of mine and sincerely hope that, if we don't already, we will adventure into the outdoors together soon.
