I always had an artistic side. Even as a child I would sketch things like cartoon characters, copying them from the glassware of the day. The ads in the magazines always caught my eye as well, and I always did the sketch to see if I could be considered for entrance into their art school. Then I "graduated" to paint by numbers. When I got older I gravitated to photography. I really enjoy taking photographs and spending time outdoors. I got my first camera back in the early 90's and my fascination with recording the world as I see it began. Due to life's twists and turns, however, I had to step back from creating images, but now I am happy to be back to doing what I truly enjoy the most! I hope you enjoy my images as much as I enjoyed creating them!
