About
I am an award winning published full time artist/photographer.
My greatest passion is being in nature - hiking, taking pictures, trail running - anything that involves me being outdoors.
I am blessed beyond words as my family and I are able to make a living from our travelings to gallery exhibitions and art festivals selling my nature/conservation photographs. As we travel from New York to California and even further I think I have a broader view and understanding on how important is our connection to nature.
We all should cherish and nurture this relationship not just because our existence depends on it but because we can learn so much and reach higher spiritual understandings.
This is one of the reason why I love taking my clients to natural surrandings instead of a studio setting.

"The Art of Conservation"
What you create is your artwork - your life, your paintings, your sculptures and your photographs. All of these have an invisible stamp of your core balance, of your inner souls vibration and energy which are connected to our Creator. That's why it's so important that your creations, your art, has to come from your soul and not from the ego. I am interested and fascinated with architecture that is created by nature and by man.
Conservation and staying connected to the inner spirit is my main focus.
Inspiring others to discover their hidden treasure of themselves is my lifetime goal.
So come along with me on my journey and lets discover together the true forces and meanings of our surroundings.
