An artist’s maiden work is all encompassing.
Youthful and free, it is akin to a condensed
version of one’s self. Art, when produced by a
mind not yet corrupted by age and experience,
is infinitely bright, infinitely dark. It is
this concept that enriched and cultivated this
work, while becoming my muse and the great
love of my life – a love that’s never fickle.
Viewing life in the present – friends and family,
city and country, laughter and pain...all falls
into a universe of shadow and light. And once the
fleeting moment is captured on film, it is reborn
with the essence of permanence. So my vision
expressed in the form of an image is really my
life as I have lived it, fraction by fraction,
in relation to time infinite.
Together, the images narrate the story of an
artist still young at heart and in spirit.
