Unlocking the Shy Artist Inside Me
This 2024 was a year of healthy growth for me in many ways. The biggest growth I am excited about has been finding new ways to embrace the artist inside of me and push myself to new heights. This is what I want 2025 to be about. Vocal and its community, I know, are a safe place to be able to do that. I do hope you make it down the page to see more of my art.

Slipping Into Life Lessons
My son is a teenager now, driving even. I am still trying to wrap my head around that idea. If I can be completely honest, I am terrified at this new milestone. I am doing my best to handle it well, but pray for me, because, as a parent, this is an area of worry that no one can prepare you for.

Impossibly Finding Silence
For as far back as I can remember, in the earliest days of my childhood, I have always been a quiet soul. I have never wanted to be one to cause problems, rock the boat, start drama, or have confrontations of any kind. My goal was to lie below the radar and try to just be liked by everyone, which meant being quiet and sometimes being walked on.

Here comes the ‘Comet of the Century’ Tsuchinshan–ATLAS
I get incredibly excited when new comets start to make their way into our visual orbit here on planet Earth! They can be so unexpected and unpredictable, much like a toddler off its ADHD medications; you just don't know what to expect; it can either explode in a blaze of glory or fade like a whisper.

An Unlikely Hero
Little Mighty Hemoglobin's origin story started simply enough with his birth and that was full of excitement, he was boy number three, but his vulnerability was soon revealed during some simple procedures all boys have done shortly after birth.

Silence in the Stars
Staring at the sky at night Ignited by stars' dying light Loneliness creates no sound Eternal depths of nebula clouds Nothingness of unlimited exploration

Mars & Jupiter Sitting In A Tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
If you wake up this week step outside and look up to the east, you will see the pairing of two wonderful planets as they snuggle up to each other in the morning sky.

Why Does Silhouette Photography Pull At The Heartstrings?
My passion for photography started when I learned I could trigger emotion in people with an image. The emotion I aimed for was what I like to call the “heartstrings”.
