Artist Statement:

Combining photography with my passion for travel enables me to embrace the ultimate freedom of immersing myself in a culture and exploring its people, nature and architecture. From a ceramicist at a artisan market to a burning candle at a century-old cathedral, it has often been the most seemingly mundane moments that have sparked my curiosity through the lens. My creative evolution is driven by an endless wanderlust and desire to share my perspectives of the world.
