Artist statement:

"I've always felt the best photographs are felt as much as seen. As a person with ADHD, I've been lucky to find a vehicle to follow my curiosity down a host of diverse roads. I hope my photographs evoke a sense of curiosity in others and, sometimes, empathy as well."

Images will be color, black and white, and infrared.

The Argus Museum is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. The Museum is not open on weekends.
