Welcome!
I photograph and write about quiet, deep things: nature, place, a sense of wonder, loss and living forward, being human.
Geography
I’ve been shaped by the landscapes where I’ve lived, loved, and travelled. I have midwestern roots, a prairie heart, and a deep seaside soul.
Currently I live near the Salish Sea in Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, filling my senses with Canadian west coast beauty.
Published Works
I’d love for you to visit my recently published work, view some of my photography, or browse my haiku and poetry as inspired.
Land Acknowledgment
I would like to acknowledge the traditional unceded lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen/Songhees) People, where I live, dream, and create.
Growing up in Victoria, I never heard the traditional names of the territories. I endeavour now to learn of the Lekwungen/Songhees People’s culture, struggles, and wisdom. I often walk through míqәn (Beacon Hill) where I, too, am “warmed by the sun.”
In offering this land acknowledgment, I affirm the Lekwungen/Songhees People’s history, experiences, spirit, and knowledge.
Be brave, kind, and true. ✨
