I am a visual person, and so I will try to be brief with the words.
I asked for my first camera at the age of nine.
Purchased my first camera at the age of nineteen—haven’t been without one since.
Took drawing and painting courses at Eastern Michigan University, and the University of Michigan.
Served my graphic art apprenticeship at a number of in-house studios in Chicago, IL, and Ann Arbor, MI. Worked as a designer in Ann Arbor, Miami, Boston, and the San Francisco Bay area.
Lived and traveled on a small sailboat for three years, photographing the ocean, sky, the foreign ports and people we visited: the Bahamas, Haiti; the Azores, Portugal, Morocco, and others. This was a wondrous experience of living in the vast openness of sea and sky. I had, and have not since, felt more in touch and connected to Nature (Gaia, the Earth Goddess).
I now live in Jackson, Michigan, where I continue to work as a graphic designer/photographer — and pursue my love of photography as an art form.
