About
This work lives at the intersection of ecology, ethics, and inner practice. As a photographer and storyteller, I aim to illuminate the beauty, suffering, and resilience of the world around us and offer pathways for collective liberation.

Artist Statement
I center my photography and writing on animals, ecology, and the felt experience of our rapidly changing planet. My work is driven by the intention to awaken people to what is possible in a world where we coexist without domination of the natural world or harm to human and non-human animals. I am inspired by animal photojournalists, writers, and artists who challenge systemic injustice and embody our inherent capacity for fierce love.
“The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth is not that we are on the way to destroying the world... but that we are beginning to wake up.”
— Joanna Macy
