Nature Photography
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

Nature Photography
Creating art with my photography has become a very personal way to express something that my words cannot. It is not a popularity contest or a competition with anyone but myself. To grow, learn, and expand as a person, my work must do these things as well. My motivation has always been nature and the bounties she provides. She has become my teacher, guide, and inspiration.

Nature Based Art
Much can be said about the benefits of nature. “Evidence-Based Design” philosophy is used in healthcare to create environments conducive to healing. Nature-based art is at the forefront of many of these environments. Introducing art that is peaceful, relaxing, and calming, is very appropriate.
We all need exposure to environments that instill peace, relaxation, and comfort. In healthcare settings, your home, or the workplace nature can and does benefit in many ways. It has always been the main goal in my nature photography endeavors. -Brad
“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”
~Wendell Berry
It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth – and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
