Opening Reception: Saturday, November 8, 2025, 7pm – 9pm
Inspired by the infinite beauty of the cosmos, my astrophotography explores the celestial wonders of our universe, a timeless history we experience in the present. Through the interplay of imagination and scientific curiosity, I capture the cosmic dance of stars, nebulae, and supernova remnants using my camera lens and telescope. These are the same stars that have captivated generations, connecting us to the ancient gaze of our ancestors. Each image reflects the profound mysteries of the night sky, inviting viewers to contemplate the vast expanse beyond our world. In Celestial Symphony: A Visual Ode to the Cosmos at Casa in Lethbridge, my work serves as a visual tribute to astronomy’s wonders, beckoning audiences to embark on a captivating journey through the universe’s enduring, mesmerizing tapestry.
Fueled by an unrelenting passion for astrophotography, I relocated to Southern Alberta in 2021 to embrace its unparalleled dark skies. This region has become my cosmic canvas, where I capture the universe’s celestial wonders with remarkable clarity through my camera lens and telescope. These tools allow me to explore the profound mysteries of the cosmos, revealing the night sky’s beauty in ways only Southern Alberta’s pristine darkness can inspire.
A self-taught artist and dedicated amateur astrophotographer, I began my celestial journey in 2017, inspired by the breathtaking spectacle of a solar eclipse. Since then, I have devoted my craft to capturing the sublime beauty of the universe, blending the precision of my telescope with the artistry of my camera lens. Over the past eight years, my work has earned recognition on national and international platforms, reflecting the universal allure of the cosmic vistas I portray. With each image, I aim to intertwine the scientific marvels of astronomy with the profound sense of wonder the universe evokes. In my exhibition, Celestial Symphony: A Visual Ode to the Cosmos, at CASA in Lethbridge, I invite audiences to join my ongoing exploration of the night sky, sharing the boundless inspiration drawn from the stars.
