ARTIST'S STATEMENT //
I am a visual storyteller, documentary and landscape photographer who is passionate about image making and teaching. For over 10 years I have worked closely with National Geographic photographer Raul Touzon travelling the world assisting not only in workshops but also in operations and administration.
I have successfully self-published 2 books - 'Jesse's Project' (2023) and 'Fields of Hope (2019).
Over $9,000 generated by book sales was given to Loving Spoonful, Young Agrarians and Red Clover. The project provided support to the farming community by enabling young farmers to connect people with healthy foods across The Thousand Islands in Ontario and surrounding areas.
'Fields Of Hope' project represents the culmination of photographs created on farms in the Thousand Islands in Ontario, Canada over a period of 5 years. My goal is to create awareness of the challenges our farmers are facing every day. Praise, honor and preserve their craft while reminding the world of how essential it is for our survival.
