Dreamscapes, Hampton, Dunes Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

I am a conceptual photographer and video installation artist. My photography and video installations fundamentally revolve around the concept of connection to the environment, to oneself, to others, and to all living beings. I believe we humans are not separate entities from nature but integral parts of it. Through my artistry, I unveil the potent energies at play on our planet, normally invisible to the naked eye but internally sensed during moments of profound wonder. I was born in New Jersey and in my 20s moved to Zurich, Switzerland, where I studied at the Zurich University of the Arts. After eight years in Switzerland, I returned to the United States and opened my studio in San Francisco. My photography work was the inspiration for the Dove Campaign on Real Women, Real Beauty which transformed the way women are viewed in the global media today. In 2005, I relocated my studio to the Miami area and immersed myself into filmmaking and fine art photography. Investigations into video and large-scale installations have expanded my visual world. My video installations are on many topics, including climate change & the environment and have been exhibited in public art platforms in United States, South America & Europe.
