I became interested in photography at a young age when my father showed her how to make a picture, from a negative, using an envelope and the sun.My first developed picture was a photo of Hopalong Cassidy.

I then took classes in darkroom developing and started creating her own photos, all in black and white.

When the digital camera was developed I continued to take pictures but then wanted to know how to make them better using digital technology. Seven years later people began to really like what she was doing. This is about the time “Simply Florida” was first conceived.

From their feedback I began submitting her works of art to contest sites, which matched her works with others and let the professional community vote on them. She was so surprised at the awards she won from around the world voters! Another surprise was the fact that pictures from around the country were winning awards. So, “Simply Florida” became “Simply Florida and Then Some.

My work focuses on the beauty of Florida, there is so much beauty in my back yard literally, birds, flowers, trees, beaches and so on. Of course, she also works with shots from different parts of the country also.

“Photos are our way of remembering and they are very important to us. Mine are very important to me and I treat yours as though they are mine.”
