I love exploring nature with my camera, experimenting with light and shadows in black and white or variations of color. I am also a landscape painter, writer and jewelry designer. When I see an image or landscape I most often visualize a painting and the end result of the photo or photos inspires me to write. I especially like to find images that the average person might not see as one walks a dog or hikes on a trail with or without another person. I believe that an artist can actually enhance what is found in nature. I am currently exhibiting one of my black & white photos for the Camera USA 2017: National Photography Exhibition and Award located in Naples, FL.
