I love art! I love photography! It was only a matter of time until the two came together in my life, and they did with the advent of digital cameras and Photoshop. I left my paints and brushes behind and fulfilled my artistic needs in an entirely new way. I have never looked back.
I quickly sought ways to push my photography toward art through the use of special techniques using only my camera. That was the first thing I learned and many of my photographs are still created using only camera techniques.
Other photographs grew out of my exploration of Photoshop. I soon discovered a variety of ways to combine techniques available through layers, masks, channels, and brushes. I began to regain the control over a photograph that I previously had over canvas or paper. As a result, my work is built as if it were a painting but with more options at my fingertips.
My background is in art and interior design. I owe my skill in photography to my husband. He has loved photography all his life. Ever since the winter day in Bryce Canyon when we tried to share one camera, I have had my own equipment and developed my own style. We have been photographing together for over 30 years.
I strive to keep my art positive and filled with light and color. My hope is to bring joy to others when they look at my artwork.
