About Me
I have been fortunate to explore and appreciate the natural wonders that surround us. What captivates me the most are the intricate details in every scene. Whether it’s the way light delicately dances across a hidden spot, the tactile sensation of texture in a seemingly simple subject, or the enigmatic interplay between reflections and shadows, these elements constantly draw me in.
For me, photography is about more than just capturing a moment in time or documenting a specific location. It’s about evoking emotions, stimulating thoughts, and provoking questions. It’s about creating images that inspire desire, that leave a lasting impact on the viewer.
As I embark on this artistic journey, my true measure of success is when my photographs transcend the mundane and immerse the viewer in a world of wonder and contemplation. When an image leaves you longing for more or sparks a curiosity that pushes you to explore deeper, that is when I know I have achieved my goal.
Through my lens, I strive to not only capture the natural beauty of a place but also convey the intangible essence of a place – the spirit, the history, the untold stories. Each photograph is an invitation to engage with these hidden narratives, to connect with the soul of the subject, and to experience the beauty in a whole new way.
So, join me on this visual journey. Let’s explore the boundless beauty of this world together, as I strive to capture moments that transcend time and stir emotions that make us human. Let my photography be a window to the soul of the places we call home or only dream about, stirring a sense of awe and wonder that stays with you long after the image is captured.
Where to See

A pioneer in gallery ownership by nine local artists, The Lowcountry Artists Gallery is the oldest artist-owned gallery in Charleston. This cutting-edge gallery showcases exceptional work by selected local artists and entices national and international collectors with multiple styles and subjects.
Open daily and staffed by artists/owners, make plans to stay a while, meet the artists, and select your personal Lowcountry treasure!
CATCHLIGHT GALLERY 118 N Jefferson Ave, West Jefferson NC
The Catchlight Gallery is dedicated solely to the art of photography. In the spring of 2012, photographer Nicole Robinson decided to create a space where talented photographers would have the opportunity to display and sell their work.
A beautiful gallery space grew from a dream into a wonderful reality, evolving into a haven which became available to photographers and the viewing public in the arts district of downtown West Jefferson. This amazing space is still home to a number of fantastic photographic artists.
