I have been intrigued by photography since I was a little girl.  I clearly remember looking

at my parent's books on photography, transfixed by the people and places in the images. 

Photography enlarged my knowledge of the world and sparked my creativity.

When I was in the fourth grade my parents gave me a 110 millimeter film camera.  With it

I documented my friends, my house, my toys... my world as I saw it and as I wanted it to

remain in my memory.

I suppose I still practice this today to some degree.  I photograph scenes as they are found,

seeking meaning within my surroundings.  The  photographs on this website are observations

of form, balance, light and human influence.  They are a permanent appreciation of

the temporary.

I am inspired by the photographers included in The New York School of Photographers

between 1936 and 1963.  My favorite of these photographers is Saul Leiter whose work

I adore in both color and monochrome.  The thing I find most compelling about this group

of photographers is their ability to recognize the sublime enmeshed within routine.

In this spirit I seek to sustain a fascination with my environment; fostering an appreciation for

irony within happenstance.
