Artist Statement: To be outside is to be immersed in a world that knows no boundaries. Horizons don’t end, they merely change shape. Mountains don’t isolate, they act purely as gateways to new places. Clouds aren’t dreary, they bring with them new life. The sun isn’t inambulant, it simply illuminates perspective.
Panoramas aren’t only pictures, they capture the very essence of all of these elements.
