My intent is to celebrate the existence and importance of trees in our lives and promote their beauty to ourselves and to our mother earth. We must be aware of the damage we do with the rapid destruction of trees as compared to the years it takes nature to develop them. I strive to make each image unique and to convey its message of beauty, solitude and mysticism. The name “Spiritus Arboretum” to me means to pay homage to the trees we cut-down. From a natural perspective the trees house, protect, and nurture us all.
