What's to say about me? I come from a family of artistic and talented people. My father, a musician, played the trombone and taught music in the public schools system. My mother, a designer, had an interiors store and a way of making beauty out of some pretty ordinary things. My sister is also a wonderful artist but has never pursued her talents in that direction.
Then there's me...
I have always been a great appreciator of fine art but never felt I had enough talent to do any more than look. I did, however, pick up a camera at a relatively young age and dabbled in photography for a few years while in my 20's. I knew from the start that I had a great eye for composition and the ability to pick things out of a scene that others would not necessarily notice. My focus quickly moved from the sciences to the arts and my camera became an integral part of me.
The arrival of the digital age has opened a whole new world for me in which to create art. My work now exhibits a mix of photography and digital manipulation, blending the old with the new, with the end product being full of bright color and texture that seemingly pops right off the canvas.
