My passion is to see life in things often passed by.   
I use the camera to capture a scene and translate a message, an emotion, a question.  I enjoy capturing the ordinary and making it unique.  I strive to see the details in places and objects that often go unnoticed. 

I handle all printing of my photographs (archival pigment prints)  including the selection of fine art papers.  This allows me full control of my work from inspiration to capture to printed art. 

In addition to exhibiting, I teach photography and other art mediums.  I founded and led a photography group in my community for seven years.  I curated or organized twenty-six exhibits in seven years.  My favorite workshops are composition and editing in addition to one with a special focus on exhibiting and presentation of work to guide photographers as they enter competitions.   

​I chaired a County Public Arts Committee for three years and had the opportunity to work with others in an endeavor to bring public art to our community.   I have served on the Board of another arts organization.  I also  participated in the Atlanta Regional Commission's Arts Leaders of Metro Atlanta (ALMA) program.
