I love to explore… travel, history, art and photography are my favorite vehicles to investigate this great big, wonderful world of ours. From what my family says I have always been this way. It would be silly of me to change course at this juncture of life.

Consider my Flickr portfolio a means to share my life and art with those I love as well as friends I haven’t met yet. It is also a chronicle of places I've been to and would love to paint. I get the biggest kick out of being able to share and being shared with… from people all over the globe!

Photography started for me as way I could capture things I wanted to paint or draw. It has grown into a process I enjoy as much as painting.

I've recently started sharing some photos of my artwork including in-progress shots for those who are interested.

I'm not a professional but I love creating. I appreciate constructive criticism - and I'm always willing to learn new things.
