I was raised in an urban environment but have always felt the tug of the natural world drawing me to the seashore & mountains for inspiration. New ideas flow naturally when I’m hiking or biking by the sea at some of my favorite places like the Olympic coast, San Juan Islands, and Birch Bay. I never tire of watching—and capturing— the ever-changing light, fog, and cloudscapes of the Salish Sea.
