• Artist Statement

  Solid rock, walls, and other seeming barriers feel insurmountable. But from the right vantage point, we can peer through exterior layers. Then, the deeper we look, the greater the clarity we acquire. Through clear levels of progression and shadowing that emphasizes the depth of the viewer's gaze, the photo delivers crystal clear focus on the underlying growth taking place within a structure that, if the outer layers had not been penetrated, would have remained unseen and unappreciated.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity means thinking outside the box and being able to explore new ideas.
