The landscapes I photograph are more than places; they are stories, histories, and moments in time. Growing up along the Hudson River, I developed a deep connection to its beauty, history, and cultural significance. This heritage inspires my art, reflecting resilience, determination, and the fragile beauty of nature amid climate change. My work captures the interplay of light, emotion, and impermanence, urging viewers to reflect on the urgency of environmental preservation. By blending personal history, cultural legacy, and environmental awareness, I aim to honor these landscapes and inspire action to protect them for future generations.
