I am a San Diego-based photographer shooting portraiture, travel, and nature images.  My current work, Impressions of Nature, features images of nature with  influences from Impressionism, meditation, and the harmony I feel when I am in the natural environment.  My work in public health and meditation research have brought to my attention the impact of stress, anxiety, and depression in our society.  For many, seeking refuge in nature can help reconnect with harmonious feelings as one is away from the distracting 'noises' of the world.  Additionally, the colors and forms of nature can be soothing.  The intention of Impressions of Nature is to invite viewers into the natural world to experience harmony and see nature's colors and forms in a new perspective.
