Photography is a portal into the soul. More than just
aesthetically pleasing images, my photographs invite viewers to
gaze into their own souls and spirits.
I create images of persons I have connected with and come to
know intimately. Through the act of capturing a moment in
time, I reveal things normally invisible to human perception--
emotion, memory, and thought--to show the spirituality
present in our day-to-day lives.
The Woman in the White Gown is a part of an ongoing series
that depicts nine female doctors of various medical specialties
with flowers that represent their different fields of expertise.
This project began with a question: who really are these women?
The resulting images explore the relationship between their
roles as doctors and as women. Through this series, I attempt to
reveal the common essence of their nature as women. I want to
reveal the female soul that is concealed beneath the sterile
white gown.
