As a photography enthusiast for me it is about capturing a moment with my lens. It is also about being open to a new perspective and interpretation of my surroundings. Whether or not a subject matter reaches a canvas or the brush reaches a print depends on how a photographed moment penetrated my heart. Sometimes it is based on simple matters of light and shadow and other times it is based on a deeper level of emotion. Once the brush is dipped in the paint, if I allow myself to fully submerge into the subject matter all worry, all stress, all fear disappears. This is where I find my solace, this is where I can breathe.

 "True painting is only an image of the perfection of God"
-Michelangelo Buonarroti
