I grew up in the Palouse region of North Idaho/Eastern Washington. The rolling hills, the large, quiet, open spaces are in my blood though I didn’t realize how much I connected with and was formed by these vistas until I
taking photography classes during the pandemic. I want the quietude I find in the west to become a long-term project as I deepen my own self-knowledge.
Bio
I grew up in the small north Idaho college town of Moscow. The open hills of the Palouse region and the freedom of that landscape shaped who I am today.
I received by BS in Electrical Engineering at the University of Idaho in 1984. After college I worked in Portland and then the Seattle area as an engineer, with a break to study business and receive my MBA from Harvard Business School 1990. A career in tech left little time for family, so after a while I stayed home with my two kids and volunteered at many organizations. When the kids graduated from college, and right before the pandemic, I started taking an interest in photography.
The pandemic game me lots of time to take classes on line and I’ve been hooked ever since. It is wonderful to be exploring and developing my artistic side after working in a technical field and then enjoying being a stay at home mom.
