Adventure, the outdoors, and storytelling are the spheres where I am most at home. My path began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, fueled by a lifelong desire to master a variety of visual media and a deep love for the vibrant electricity of creative communities. From the early “adventure-style” leaps of moving across the country with nothing but a truck and a plan, to the disciplined work of a photojournalist, my life has been a pursuit of the “splendor and awe” found while translating the places I explore into visual narratives.
I’ve spent a decade immersed in the culture of Nepal, traversing the rugged spine of the Everest Highway to chronicle the impact of climate change. I’ve helped broker partnerships with local leaders to build foundations for the future. Whether through the 30,000 images captured during my travels to Nepal, or the cultural histories written in One World Lens, after 10 years of reflection and learning, I have sought to use visual and written narrative as a bridge between distant worlds and our shared responsibility to the land.
Today, that spirit of discovery has been refined into my work as a functional artist. I believe beauty is circular and that our greatest legacy is the lightness of our tread. My art is a deliberate dialogue between the Earth’s ancient resources and the objects we often discard; I breathe new life into reclaimed copper wire, weathered wood, and locally sourced elements to honor the natural world without depleting it.
This commitment to the environment extends into my role as a guide and mentor. Through my wellness company, Events Wild, I lead others through the outdoor spaces while teaching art and writing as a conduit for a more fulfilled life. It is my way of inviting others to reclaim their own creative freedom. For me, it is all one journey: a celebration of beauty that protects the environment that inspires it.
