"My inspiration has always been mainly from the natural world and the importance of man's relationship with the environment. Each medium allows a brand new approach to portraying the seasons, wildlife, buildings - all of which, in turn, affect our emotions and well-being. I hope my images give pleasure, lightness of heart, and indicate my basic premise that life is good and should be celebrated."
