Mr. Kettler continually finds fascination and delight in nature, and strives to capture images that other people can enjoy.

His Healing Arts Photography fits advantageously into many settings, such as hospitals, offices, homes, corporate centers, hotels, and more. The photographs are meant to be calming, peaceful, inviting, and picturesque. His image archive is the culmination of many years of photography and thousands of hours of shooting, and is constantly growing through his persistence in finding and capturing imagery that can inspire the imagination and spirit of the viewer.
