At present, I find myself captivated by the interplay of light in natural landscapes.

Thank you to the following creative residencies for inspiring the images below:

  • Images (5-7) were taken at the James Still cabin at the Hindman Settlement School
  • "Trans Masc Morning" (8) and "Hill Resistance" (9)
    will be displayed in Uplifted: A Celebration of Appalachian Resilience art exhibit on April 20–April 29, 2026, at the Rowan County Arts Center in Morehead, Kentucky.

     

  • "Encompass", "Sleeping Giants", "Common Cradle"(5)
