My Art and Photography are a means of creative expression for my soul. I am intrigued by how light impacts the making of images and the artist's manner that photos are created. I am fascinated how using computer graphic art software you can create digital paintings from your photographs. 

I purchased my first interchangeable lens camera in 1984 when I was an intern for the Women’s Sports Foundation at the Los Angles Olympic Games. I was given access to behind the scenes where I made photos of the athletes. I have been fortunate to be able to travel and photography many parts of the United States and locations all over the world.

Rick Sammon, a world-famous photographer and educator has a saying: "I specialize in NOT specializing".  I could not agree with a statement more.  I do not specialize in one type of photography because I like to explore different subjects and this may change over time. However, my current photography work has been focused on:

• Macro photography
• Flowers
• Historic and Abandoned Buildings
• Architectural Photography
• National Park Landscapes
