And if a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible.

~Richard Avedon, 1970

Everything changes. Quickly and often. I'm living in Little Rock, married to one of the nicest men I have ever known, blissfully happy, and ready for new adventures.

Now I just need to get back in the habit of shooting more often.

I have gone mirrorless! Sony A6000 + legacy glass. Fun!

Although photography is my primary preoccupation at the moment, I am also an eclectic artist. (That's a nice way for saying dabbler, right?) My real passion is designing and making jewelry. I work in hot glass, both fusing and lampwork bead making, and cold glass, as well as metal clay and most recently adding traditional metalworking (mostly silver, some copper) to my designs. I am also working on some pendants featuring my art photography set in sterling silver under clear glass-like resin.

I enjoy all sorts of crafty pursuits.... a little sewing, stained glass and china mosaics, digital scrapbooking, visual journaling, a little painting, remodeling and decorating my 100+ year old home, gardening, making soap and herbal concoctions, cooking and baking, and anything involving power tools!

Flickr is not my professional portfolio. Flickr is where I put the pictures that I shoot for fun. Pictures of butterflies and rainbows and my kids. Pictures of my cat and things that strike me funny over the course of the day and roadtrips.
