My work is highly influenced by the prairies We will explore a brief overview of these influences and work. I am currently involved in agriculture production and am an avid gardener. This has led to several projects in my practice from photographing from labourer, the Farm Worker series to the Garden Series. This recent project evolved after an early frost in the garden.
