I am a biologist with an artistic bent of mind, who has combined my STEM experience and passion for photography to capture interactions between wildlife and their environment. In the search for a beautiful sunrise (or a moonrise) or a spectacular bird migration event; the time spent outdoors have been truly inspirational for my artistry. My photography portfolio includes unique landscape, wildlife and astrophotography.
