A textured and course pattern on the surface of Lake Michigan (October 12th, 2020).
The views of Lake Michigan are ever evolving, but I especially love watching the water patterns on a calm day.
With a few slight changes to wind speed, surface currents, or light direction, you can experience an entirely new view within a very short period of time.

Connecting Art with Advocacy
My photographs capture the beauty of the Chicago lakefront, but they also represent a link between the ecology of the Great Lakes and our human dependency on the environment.
The perception is that our region possesses a seemingly endless abundance of water — but this misconception distracts from the fragility of this freshwater ecosystem and undermines its importance.
Using art as a pathway for discovery, I invite you to embrace the aesthetic joy I find while exploring the lakefront — and learn more about the natural world surrounding us.
