An artist who later discovered photography, I lived from 2003 to 2014 in the Sonoran Desert of southwest Arizona, a place that offers endless inspiration for making photographic images. I relocated to Asheville, North Carolina in November 2014, and loved the entirely different, very green and lush, universe of photographic possibilities it presented. On June 25, 2017 I moved again, this time returning to my favorite place of all the many places where I've lived, the warm-hearted and very conscious community of Fairfield, Iowa. My heart's desire is to share the beauty and light I see in the world with others.
