My practice explores the connection between people and places. I have discovered that viewing seascapes and landscapes can allow your thoughts to trigger memories that enable you to transcend your physical location and moment in time. By collecting and abstracting information through imagery from the environment that surrounds me, I have been able to create a meditative state of mind to reflect, create and problem solve. This has helped overcome mental health issues, subsequently increasing self-awareness and personal growth. 

My short films and prints are intuitive and responsive attempts to capture these visual moments – representing movement and motion through a journey of time.
By capturing these various people, places, and impressions in time, I aim to create a window into the viewer’s past as well as my own, to represent the connections we have within, as well as our connection to our environment, and to take the time to redirect ourselves and look inward towards our thoughts and recollections.
