Artist’s Statement
More than any other subject, I love photographing the Pacific coast. Since I came to Northern California in
1999, I’ve learned that the coast is ever changing. Whenever I return to a favorite beach, there’s always
something new to discover.
My most recent work explores the Northern California and Oregon coastlines. I enjoy uncovering the
mystery of the coast and showing its otherworldliness. Sand dunes, driftwood, tide pools—they’re all rich
subjects for my studies of texture and light.
I capture not only what’s “offered,” but also the unexpected treasures that reveal themselves if I’m patient
enough. I enjoy the solitude as much as capturing the images—just being alone in the environment,
watching and waiting.
