Quote
"These artworks depict the world in front of my camera and include hand illustrated drawings and watercolors on the print surface to portray images from my imagination— “scenes I wish I’d seen” (like chatting with Carlos Castaneda’s coyote friends). This creation of imagined worlds is a freedom photographers share with other artists such as painters, poets, and writers of fiction."
