My collection of work comes from my desire to preserve the beauty I see around me. I don’t set out to produce art about one subject or another. My influences are first and foremost everything that I see, feel, and experience. I’m driven by my passion for photography. Using the tools of my art, I not only document my own life experiences, but I also strive to capture the world around me - as I see it in my own “lens” - and to share that vision with others. When I work on my photography, the shapes and colors that I see through my lens become my reality and I feel immersed, if not lost, in that brilliant new world. In fact, it is that magic that I find most compelling - the magic of capturing an image that tells a story all by itself, and has no need for the constraints of mere words.

My favorite outlet for my creative energies is a challenging art called HDR, which is short for High Dynamic Range. In producing an HDR image, I combine multiple exposures of the same shot in a way that enhances all the detail from the image’s entire range of available brightness and color. The result is a stunning image showing far more detail, and much richer highlights and deeper shadows, than the individual photos could convey. My skills in HDR photography allows me the freedom to produce natural looking, almost three dimensional images, or to let my more artistic side interpret the shots and create very unique emotive images.

My lifelong romance with the photographic arts began immediately after my Dad gave me a Kodak Instamatic Camera when I was only 10. I have been infatuated with photography ever since. I followed my passion as a young woman to Antonelli College where I graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Photography with Applied Business.

I am a freelance photographer from Cincinnati, Ohio, specializing in landscape and architectural photography. I moved to Biloxi, Mississippi in April 2014 and lived there for three years. In May 2017 I made the move to Tres Piedras, New Mexico.

I have one son, Paul.....and five grandchildren, Paul, Khloe, Aralynn, Audrina and Phoebe.
