Artist Statement
“Learning to see—it is what photography teaches me to do every day. To notice color, line, light and shape. To indulge in my own ideas of mood, harmony and sensuality.
Photography invites me to be surprised by the everyday world, and to be playful with it.
I have been practicing photography for thirty years, always hovering in a liminal space between amateur and professional. I am continuously learning about and developing my craft, and I imagine myself still shooting thirty years from now, and still experiencing wonder and delight via this medium. “
