What Drives Me

“My photographic art stems from a passion for exploration, conservation, and cultivating a conscious relationship with the Earth that sustains us. Guided by intuition and a lifelong connection to nature, my creative expression unfolds through quiet observation and discovery. My reverence for vital wilderness areas has led me to spectacular locations across the Hawaiian Islands and beyond, preserving their natural beauty through visual arts and hands-on restoration work with numerous environmental organizations.

I believe nature is intrinsic to our well-being. I want my artwork to transport you to these wild places, and inspire a deeper connection to the magnificent lands that sustain our life on Earth.”
