Artist Statement:

A love affair with the sky and the rugged Australian landscape is the pulse behind every shutter click. My lens captures more than scenery. My purpose is to capture feelings, emotions and stories.

My need is as infinite as the sky - a commitment to bring the untouched beauty of Australia into the hearts and homes of those who seek the wonder of the world from a different perspective.

The images are emblems of history, beauty and reality, capturing the pulse of the land amidst global change.

The images share their own story with us, uniquely and individually. They evoke emotion a little differently in all of us. Ultimately, I love sharing the joy in what I get to see from above. 

This is an open invitation to join me on this journey, to experience the awe and to commit to the responsibility to cherish and protect these wild spaces. My aim is to provide more than decoration. My goal is to provide enlightenment, a change of perception and a commitment to the environment.
