A northwest photographer, I love the outdoors, whether it is hiking, biking, kayaking or by vehicle.  I also travel anywhere in the world whenever I get the chance.  My camera accompanies me on all of my trips so I can take pictures as I go.

 

My primary focus is scenery, wildlife, cultural diversity and environmental portraits.  I have traveled throughout the world learning about and appreciating other cultures and the animal kingdom.  My travel photos are intended to show respect for other peoples of the world as well as moments of special beauty, simplicity and, perhaps, invoke memories for the viewer.  My environmental portraits typically involve portraits of people or pets in a chosen location.

 

I personally love being out of doors year round as you can see by my pictures which range from sunny, warm scenes to snow covered ones to photos of eagles shot from a kayak (Eagle in the Mist).  I live on a farm which has cats, dogs, goats, cows and a pig which always provide me with opportunities for photos!

 

 

BIO

 

 

I grew up in a small town in Eastern Washington.  I won my first camera, an Ansco, for winning a magazine selling contest in junior high school.  From then on I have loved taking pictures.  I enhanced my picture taking love with education through the University of Washington Certificate Program in Photography and with ongoing education at the Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle.  I also have had some of my work shown in various juried exhibitions including the annual Enumclaw Arts Commission exhibit (I won first place in 2003), Northwest Women in Photography organized by the Frye Art Museum and the International Exhibit at the Western Washington Fair. 

 

Many of my images are slides or film negatives.  Prior to the digital age I developed and enlarged my pictures at Photographic Center Northwest.  I now use a digital camera or a film scanner, run my images through Photoshop and print enlargements using a photo printer.
