At birth, life is full of joy, hope, whimsy, As we embark on a wonderous journey of the spirit. But years bring challenges to the soul, Transforming our body and psyche, testing our resolve. But with maturity comes wisdom, brightening the horizon, And laughter and smiles burnish our heart. Leading to a breathtaking metamorphosis, As our inner beauty shines forth.
Biography: In January 2022, I moved here from New Hampshire to join the Aims Industrial Technologies and Oil & Gas programs. My career has been spent in industry and engineering, in which my creative side was not always of particular importance. Writing poetry and developing my photography allows me to explore my creative side. In particular, I approach my photography from an emotional perspective, using what I feel when composing and finishing a picture to enhance its impact on the viewer. The great majority of my photography is spent in nature, taking landscape and wildlife photos. The wildness of nature helps me achieve an inner peace that I’m not able to find anywhere else. As nature rages around me, it centers me and helps me achieve almost a meditative state. I enjoy sharing my work with friends and family through publishing wall art, books, and notecards.
