I am a nationally recognized artistic Nature photographer. Through my studies of Shodo Calligraphy, Japanese Haiku Poetry, and Ikebana I have become very close to nature. My enthusiasm for gardening led me to explore my interest in photography. "The natural beauty of each individual leaf or flower becomes a work of art through the camera".

My passion is photographing nature: flowers, butterflies, and other garden friends. For twenty years I lived in the Asia/Pacific: Australia, Japan, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Living and learning the cultural and natural beauty of these environments gave me a strong sense of intimacy in even the smallest things.

My photography has been exhibited locally in a variety of venues: Art Center Sarasota, Art Center Manatee, Venice Art Center, Art League of Ft. Myers, Art in the Park at University Park County Club and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. I have earned numerous awards, including Merit and Honorable mention awards for images juried by famed photographer, Clyde Butcher. I am a gallery artist at the Dancing Crane Gallery. My photography is in a number of private collections in Boston, Philadelphia and Seattle as well as Sarasota and throughout Southwest Florida.
