Artist Statement

Seeing something different, something more than the literal subject is my favorite pastime with my camera. My love of photography began at an early age with an Instamatic Kodak camera. From the Instamatic I upgraded to a 35mm SLR film camera, and now use a mirrorless digital camera. The experience in my late teens of documenting a cross country road trip with my camera inspired me to earn a degree in photojournalism from Boston University. Over the years, I have worked as a reporter and photographer for a semi-weekly newspaper and photographed weddings and family portraits. These days I enjoy using my camera for artistic expressions.

I have been published in the El Defensor Chieftain, the Socorro Chamber of Commerce and the Half Moon Bay Review. I have won awards at the Pacifica Fog Fest and the Peninsula Photo Contest. My work has been shown at New Mexico Tech, the Sanchez Art Gallery, Filoli Historic House, Palo Alto Art Center, the Arc Gallery, the Healdsburg Center for the Arts and the Coastal Arts League. I have been an active member of Colony of Coastside Artists (CoCA) Open Studios for the past two years.
