I was given my first camera in grade school to start learning how to use my eye and my judgement to make a pleasing, to me, composition. I studied art with my grandmother who was a very fine artist. She was my inspiration. I studied more art as I got my art teacher certificate and then shared what I learned with my junior high/middle school students during my 29 year career. A camera was never far from my reach. My skills were enriched when I started to learn how to use the Photoshop program. I've participated in many competitions, invitationals, two-person shows and one-person exhibitions.
