Above: Cover of book, In the Present Moment, 2023

​Life is filled with “present moments”. It is in the present where we are all meant to be.  
​
There is a quote by Father Mark Toups that goes as follows: 
“Your ordinary influences are your searching and wanting…the profound is found in the ordinary.” 
This quote has been a great influence in my recent work, whether it be straight photography or collage,
​mixed media or book art.  

I invite you to walk with me, through these somewhat personal visual “journals”. A simple act of observation and contemplation can change the way we see ourselves, one another and life itself. I invite you to leave this exhibition with a desire to seek the profound in the ordinary and with a commitment to be present in all instances of our lives.
