Artist Statement: When I was on vacation this Thanksgiving, I visited my family's cottage. We went on the dunes while it was still somewhat warm out and climbed to the top the the dunes. It was a really good view so I got the inspiration to take photos on the way back. For most of these images, I wanted to convey calm and peaceful emotions and feelings. These are places I go to almost every year and are very special to me.
Artist Statement: I took these photos in the woods near my house while I was walking my dog with my family like I do every weekend. It was very quiet and full of wildlife and seemed like a good location for me to take these photos. My dog plays in these woods every day, but I only go with her on the weekends because I am at school. These images bring out the sense of wildlife and nature as well as the bare trees and the cold winters.
Artist Statement: These photos were taken right outside my house one night when the sunset was really prominent and beautiful. It was all different colors including reds, oinks, oranges, and yellows. What inspired me to take them was the fact that these sunsets don't happen very often here and I wanted to capture the moment. They represent beauty and peace to me.
Artist Statement: I took these photos in the woods that I take my dog in every weekend and I came across these teepee like structures made out of sticks. My dog likes to explore and go inside of them, even though she gets scared. I chose to take these photos because they had unique designs in them that you don't see every day. They represent creativity and nature to me as well as adventure and exploration.
