I create art as an emotional outlet - a way to process and release emotions too complex for words alone. It’s a universal language.

I love photography- especially capturing the rugged West of Montana and South Dakota. I do not have a professional camera, all photos are taken from my iPhone 14 and iPhone 17 Pro.
Where do you find inspiration?I grew up on a ranch out in rural Montana. We did not have cable television growing up, and I spent the majority of my free time roaming the prairie. I believe that is where my love for nature began and inspiration for photography.
What would you do with $25,000?Go to photography school and buy a professional camera. Create a professional studio.
