As described by the artist:
“This series of black and white portraits is especially close to my heart. Over the years I have been blessed to remain close to many young artists, musicians and creators. This is just part of their story…As for me, I am constantly inspired by the people I meet. I love documenting and learning. I guess you could say it?s my goal in life to nurture and record the lives of the amazing people I come across. It?s a never-ending project. Every day I see someone I want to photograph or speak to. So many times I will be driving my car, riding my bike or walking down the street and I?ll pass someone who inspires me, so I turn around and run after them and tell them how beautiful they are and how I would love to photograph them. It?s nonstop. It?s everything that I am. A friend once asked me what my favorite lyrics from a Grateful Dead song were. “So many roads to ease my soul” I replied, and then asked him what his was. “Inspiration” he said. I liked that a lot. I don?t know why I remember that conversation, but I do. Those lyrics speak volumes…”
