Honoring our mom’s teachings, the realm of astrology continues to intrigue me. As a boy, I can clearly remember her reading out my horoscope, and hanging onto her words as she intimated my fortune. In those moments, another layer of existence appeared to my attention span.

Some people ask if we are always on-the-go, constantly experiencing exotic locations and their wonder. It’s easy to wish that was so.

Each episode of Rare Air encapsulates some moment where I was completely immersed in recording another of Mother Nature’s sacred revelations.

The project has become an essential component of the demonstration of this belief: As an artist, I have something to say.
