"What you seek is seeking you"- Rumi

My objective as an artist is to open the eyes and heart of the observer to the beautiful world around each one of us. My travels have taken me many places and I have been blessed to spend time immersed within these unique geographic locations.   I have spent a lot of time in Northern California, specifically the Eastern Sierras, Yosemite National Park, along CA State Route 395 and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, which is home to the oldest living trees on earth.   I also spend a lot of time photographing my beautiful neighborhood, Marble Cliff and local gem, Tarpy Woods.  In these special spaces, I have refined my skills and continue to see something new through my lens every time I step out with my camera.
