The root of my creative process comes from my desire to portray wild animals in their natural habitat and to bring awareness to their survival, fragility and strength, and overall well-being. I travel domestically and internationally to find locations where I can capture animal social patterns, survival instincts and life cycles. My most recent body of work I have incorporated fused and slumped glass into my wildlife/nature photography. Adding the element of glass has challenged me to create and design into my photography elevating these pieces to the next level. Withthe light I expose through my lens and the luminous glow through the glass, I will evolve in this process through playing and experimenting with these two complex mediums. This opens my mind to endless powerful pieces that I will continue to create through imagination, drive and instinct.
