The Artist

My love for photography began at age 11, when my grandparents gave me a little 110 camera (yes I just dated myself ). From the moment I clicked that first shutter, I was hooked. I went on to study photography in college, but like many artists, self-doubt kept me from pursuing it fully.

Instead, life led me down another road—one of deep inner exploration. For over 20 years, I immersed myself in alternative healing, trying to “fix” what I thought was broken within me. But healing brought clarity: I am not broken. I am not my wounds, my experiences or my past. I am simply the witness, the dreamer, the creator, the soul behind the lens. That shift in perception changed everything. I found my way back to photography with a renewed sense of purpose and authenticity.

That’s when I discovered ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) photography—a technique that allows me to “paint” with my camera. The ethereal, mystical quality of this process captivated me, and I was hooked. Through ICM and my black-and-white work, I create photo art that invites stillness, emotion, and curiosity.

More recently, I’ve also been exploring meditative art as another way to express the inner landscapes of my journey. That work will be coming soon.
