I grew up at the beach. It’s my happy place. It’s the place I go to make sense of the world. To escape it. To dream and find myself. It intrigues me that the beach and the ocean never look the same. It’s always changing, day to day, with weather and swell. I love to tell a story with my images. A story of the landscape and the people who are in it.
