I am a photographer/artist excited about the world. I love light, travel and people. My first book was published last year- a 30 year project - ' Hometown 1982-2016 ' Now I feel the need to journey further and push myself as an artist.

American Bedroom - reflections of the nature of life

Chace Family - 2016 - 'I hate my bedroom. It's tight and claustrophobic. Usually it makes me not able to breath well and gets me frustrated as hell. But, it took us a long time to have kids so I cherish our time together no matter how small the room.'
