"Personally, I feel the desire to interpret, express and create from life's explorations, inspirations, and even a frustration is human nature. It is the stimulus that I find liberating and fulfilling, as well as healing and necessary.

"Some of my images begin with a view, some an idea, and others from creative exploration, a study or experimentation. One day may be a walk with camera in hand to see what unfolds and another may be a journey to a planned destination, yet another may be right in front of me.

"It is exciting to me to be able to capture a bit of nature's diversity, either through a macro close-up, or distant mountains, or the lucky snap of a mesmerizing cloud formation. The abstract, still life, sculptured or manipulated pieces encourage interpretation from the onlooker's point of view. I am pleased to share what, and how I see things, which I hope that you, too, will enjoy.

"Decades of volunteering enrich and add purpose to my life. While sharing art or dance with children and elders, I enjoy the passionate, freedom and inventive nature of an innocent child's imaginative discoveries. With elders, it has been participating with the joy and laughter that comes out; it is so gratifying to assist and help with their creative expressions. Another important area of service throughout my life has been with animal rescue and care; I continue to support local animal rescue programs with my critter images and designs whenever I am able.
