My journey began in high school, taking photography and graphic arts classes. I rediscovered my passion for photography during the 2017 solar eclipse, a moment that rekindled my creative vision. Upon retiring in 2022, I fully immersed myself in my craft, taking classes and entering competitions to refine my technical and artistic skills.

​

My eye for composition and meticulous attention to detail has been recognized through various exhibitions and awards:

- Exhibitions at Black Box Gallery (Portland, Oregon), Art at the Cave (Vancouver, Washington), and Decode Gallery (Tucson, Arizona)
- Awards at the 2023 and 2024 Vancouver Art and Music Festival
- "Best of Class" in 2022 through 2024 and "Judge's Choice" in 2024 at the Clark County Fair
- Publications in Novum Artis (Issues 5, 6 and 7)

​

While still developing my unique style, I strive to capture the unique beauty of nature and advocate for its preservation. Each photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of nurturing and cherishing our natural world.
