The first time I saw the mountains on a drive outside of Seattle I cried.

  
And every time after that, still as excited as the first time. Can you believe we just casually live amongst giants? How can anyone tire of seeing Rainier peak out on a clear day?

  
I started making my mountain artworks the second I moved to Seattle. Never had I experienced anything like this. They tied me down to this place and now I can’t see myself living anywhere else… I’ve built roots at these foothills. 

  
The“Rayleigh Scattering” means so much to me as it sheds light on the reoccurring, now normalized fire season in Washington state. Living in the Puget sound for almost a decade has enhanced my love and attentiveness for sustainability awareness.

  
Take care of the things you love.
