I felt myself getting pulled in a lot of different directions — the same way we all do in our careers, in our daily lives, in our own minds. The more I did this, the more I felt the desire for a steadying presence, an anchor, in my creative work. No more trying to do it all. And so, over the next six months, I worked to sharpen my vision, to see clearer by looking left and right a little less and ignoring the allures that lurked there. Instead, I began to focus on what was right in front of me all along.

The place I ended up was, probably not surprisingly in hindsight, the HØMECOAST. Returning to the water, in a creative sense, was coming back to myself. It was an act of honoring the parts that always felt truest to me, and honoring the place I come to find comfort — whether I have a camera strapped around my neck or not. The place where we think what my favorite poet Mary Oliver so beautifully calls long-limbed thoughts: The water’s edge.

And so, today, my photographic art is less about scratching the wanderlust itch and more about the comforting feeling of returning.

Now, my immersive images, made primarily along the edges of the Pacific Northwest and the coasts of California and Hawaii, focus on the presence, belonging, and stillness we find at our shore, our HØMECOAST. Each of them is less a literal representation of a place, and more the expression of the mind at peace we experience there. 

From expansive horizons to intimate glimpses of sunlit water, my coastal fine art photographs embrace an intentional simplicity, distilling the magnetic pull of the coast into glimmering light, flowing textures, and soothing colors, honoring what has always been my North Star: To create art for calm spaces in a chaotic world.

Produced with my signature Window Effect finish, each of these large-format limited edition works is made for always-on-the-go homeowners whose modern organic interiors need an anchor — a place where your eye can settle when you walk into the room, a quiet and calm contrast to the constant movement of your busy day. 

This is art that invites you to look both outward and inward — the way you do at your HØMECOAST.
