My photographs are influenced, in large part, by my deeply-felt connections to the land. I draw from fairy tales, myths, the fragmentary space of dreams, and my personal experiences with the environment to discover and create mystery in the realm of the natural world. Whereas most landscape photographers seek out grand sweeping vistas, I am interested in the smaller, somewhat sinister worlds that exist off the beaten-down path. It is a darker, enigmatic beauty to which I am drawn - that of the shadowy forest of Hansel and Gretel not the pristine views of Ansel Adams.
