Artist's Bio
My interest in photography began with borrowing
Dad's old A-1 Canon,
and romping through the local creek.
In High School, we learned dark room basics
and the beauty of sepia tone. Things were simple then...
In college, at the University of Oregon, Eugene,
a few more classes had me playing with color;
macros of broccliflower trees and toothpaste skies,
christmas lights around white noise television,
bizarre messages from manipulated environments.
The images began to splitting between dark images of
environmental decay: smoke stacks, stark cities,
human made objects obviously out of place...
and that of seductive natural beauty: the blooming flowers,
intricate plants, & expansive landscapes.
The photos on this website are a reflection of
my current interest in values of positivity, wellness, and
vibrancy. The darker side of things are reflected only to
touch on this potential, making the decision even clearer,
bringing more awareness to the living, breathing light...
My interest in health and wellness began in high school,
as I concerned myself with being an athlete, learning to
cultivate as much energy as possible through motion & nutrition.
It wasn't until my mid 20's, that I began to find
the reguvinating practices of yoga and bodywork.
It started with the intense asana practice of Kali Ray Tri Yoga in
Santa Cruz. After moving to the Bay, the Breema Center in
Oakland that taught me how to be fully present, and how to share
this with another. From there, Jenny introduced me to AcroYoga,
increasing the potential between two or more able bodies,
communicating trust, connection, and playfullness...
My interests continue in the physical body, and have been expanding
into the world of energy and sprit.
Two years at the Church of Divine Man in Berkeley (a Psychic
Institute) taught me new ways of seeing energy, and introduced me
to the magic of that which is beyond the physical...
Similiarly, Matrix Energetics has taken my understanding of energy
as it relates to the physical body, and allowed infinite
possibilities and miraculous blessings to show up,
whenever we are ready...
And so it goes,
deepening the expansion...
