I live and work in the Finger Lakes region of New York, where the hills, waterfalls, and woods speak in quiet rhythms. I'm drawn to the spirit of the natural world-her animals and trees, swirling tides and crashing waves, colorful skies and shifting clouds. Travel, hiking, gardening, and birdwatching are how I listen & reconnect. These moments in wild places nourish my soul and shape my art. Working primarily in oil pastel, l draw from photographs l've taken in landscapes that have moved me. My art is a way of honoring the wildness of the earth and the deep, essential bond we share with it. I hope to offer a pause a moment to remember how nature heals, grounds, and connects us all. In tending to that connection, we tend to ourselves, and to each other.

My photography is exclusively Apple I Phone photography. As the quality of the camera on I Phones advanced, along with the built in editing tools and supplemental editing apps, I transitioned away from photography using a traditional camera and now only shoot with an I Phone. All of my photography was done with either an I Phone 7, I Phone SE or I Phone 14. A few years ago I became a Digital Creator by joining and contributing to an I Phone Photography Club on Facebook. I have since joined many other Photography clubs and have had more than 200 shots published on various sites. In my opinion, the real artistic component of I Phone Photography, beyond the subject itself, is in the editing. I have spent countless hours cropping and editing the images I capture, making them interesting and unique, as well as finding the "real" pictures which are, more often than not, deeply imbedded within the original shot. As my life, and as time, progressed I was suddenly and sadly presented with the realization that "time" was all we really have and is truly our life's most valuable asset. Time waits for no one and, since you don't get a second chance, I decided to change my existing life. I opted to get out and travel as much of the world as I could. Traveling, and recording my travels, through this modern medium has, as well as sharing my images with interested others, become my renewed passion in life.
