"The eye is the window of the soul. The intellect, the will, are seen in the eye." - Hiram Powers, American sculptor (1805-1873)
An artisan (ar·ti·san/art·is·in) is defined as a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand.The eyes are defined as a pair of organs in the head through which people see. I am an artisan of the skilled trade of creating and sharing my art form. My eyes are both the medium and unique lens with which I view and interact with the world around me. The camera is my instrument. I am fortunate to have been granted the opportunity to capture moments from my own visual perspective and transcribe them to the photographic image. But these are far more than just photographs, these are the human experience. I am blessed with the chance to share the joy and healing I feel from creating art with the world around me. If I can inspire even one person, then the purpose of this compilation has been fulfilled. Thank you to all who take the time to engage with these pieces.
