I live in Nanaimo, British Columbia, on beautiful Vancouver Island. My interest in photography became more intense when I retired after a career as a Teacher and Principal in Hamilton, Ontario. Learning about photography from amazing teachers has been important to me. Freeman Patterson, Andre Gallant and Kathleen Clemons have taught me so much and inspired me to develop my own style and passion for "making images". I continue to love to make portraits of flowers, experiment with ICM, create "painterly images" with multiple exposures and have fun with abstracts. Photography is my artistic outlet and I love it!!
