We live in a town that swirls with kinetic energy. Breathtaking scenery unfolds from the mountains to the shore, communities hum with activity, and a vibrant web of people tug at our hearts and minds. Yet, beneath this joyful circus, another Santa Cruz exists – a sanctuary of quiet contemplation. Here, along the coast, magic unfolds in suspended moments where time seems to hold its breath, waiting to be captured. This is the quiet, ephemeral world I’m exploring in this exhibition.

My hope is that these images spark a conversation within you, inviting you to see the extraordinary nestled within the stillness of your own life. Look for the magic shimmering just beneath the surface. The silence between the songs. Where are these moments hiding in your world? How can you use your unique lens to bring them to light? I invite you to embark upon your own journey into stillness, and share back with the world what you find.
Thanks for being here.
