Art is long life is short.

More than 200 years ago, Hippocrates wrote “Art is long life is short.” I believe that. Art outlasts us. 

Why DO we feel compelled as people to make art?  Why are we the only animal in the world that takes a stick and draws our own image in the dust? 

You look at children playing and the first thing that they do is pick up a crayon and they start to draw. I have a theory about this – I think that children want to make their thoughts as visual and real as the world around them. 

Making images is a universal language. 

Children everywhere make yellow circles and then they say “I have made the sun”. Children capture what is important to them. They make their thoughts into treasures for the ones that they love. I am proud to be part of that tradition. 

I make heirlooms. I preserve the memories of others with my photographs. 

I hope my work helps people remember what is important to them.

I hope my photographs are treasures to the families that buy them.

Life is short. Too short. But the beauty of it is always there to capture- forever.

This Mother's Day - capture your heirlooms. For your children. For your children's children. For you.

It's about shining from the inside
