A significant portion of my work is centered on awareness and preservation of the natural and cultural environment. I strongly believe it is my responsibility to use photography and education to promote stewardship of the land and awareness of its cultural and natural history. 

I am a former photojournalist turned landscape and nature photographer that moonlights during the day as an elementary school teacher. 

I’ve photographed special projects for several national parks including biological sky islands in Yosemite, caves in Sequoia National Park, and three BioBlitz surveys in Great Basin National Park.  I’ve also done contract work for the Bureau of Land Management and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife documenting endangered and threatened species. 

In 2017 I was selected as the first artist-in-residence for the Sierra Foothill Conservancy documenting their preserves and conservation easements over a year in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The images I made were used in a fundraising exhibit for the conservancy.

A year later in 2018, I was recruited by the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust for another local year-long artist-in-residency documenting protected properties along the San Joaquin River in California’s great central valley.

I then embarked on my national park residency journey.

2018 - Artist-in-Residence Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, a part of the national parks in north central Wyoming.  

2019 - As the first photographer artist-in-residence for Craters of the Moon National Monument in south central Idaho

2021- Night Sky Artist for Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.

2023 - Artist-in-Residence Petrified Forest National Park in northeastern Arizona.

I’ve had the privilege of having my work purchased for display at several local businesses in Fresno, CA including ARC Property Management, Valley Children’s Hospital, and Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group.
