  • GOAL:  My passions are painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, the outdoors, walking, biking, snorkeling, and kayaking. My interest is in the ordinary seen in an extraordinary manner. I love both not the natural landscape and but am interested in people; what they collect and their collections. I am saddened by the trail of extinction and our impact on Mother Earth. I plan to continue my career as a professional photographer and teacher and hope to make a mark as a fine art fine artist. My commercial work includes weddings and portraits.
