My relationship with the earth began in childhood. Raised in Guatemala by American parents—a farmer and a teacher—I grew up split between the city and dense jungles, learning early on to document the deep connection between people and their land. Traveling throughout the country with my father, he taught me the names of trees, plants, and crops. My mother’s dedication to social work and education inspired my own passion for human connection.

This inherited curiosity eventually took me to over 60 countries. From living with nomads in the Tibetan mountains and the Saharan desert to exploring remote corners of Mongolia, my global journey has always focused on honoring the human-nature bond.

Following a 15-year career as an internationally published photographer and educator—including teaching with the Santa Fe Workshops—my creative path naturally evolved. Today, my work is held in private and corporate art collections worldwide.

I now focus entirely on fine art photography, dedicating my lens exclusively to capturing the sacred, harmonious bond we share with the natural world.
