I  was born and raised in southern California.  Early in life, I displayed a sensitivity and awareness of beauty and design in architecture, nature and the environment. I enjoyed observing and developing my thinking as to what most pleasing and joyful for me to view.

Interest in the quality of my surroundings led to architecture and urban planning studies in college, followed by professional work in the latter field.

The desire to be immersed in beauty motivated me to live in scenic areas of Arizona, Oregon and Washington. I ventured into wilderness areas and experienced the splendor of pristine worlds.

Beauty is an aspect of my essence, my being and nature, it is my very soul. Beauty is something that suffuses my awareness and consciousness. It is my passion. I feel spiritually nourished and joyful in beautiful environments.

I have explored urban and natural areas using a camera. I taught myself photography and later expanded that knowledge with college courses.

Through photography, I create beautiful images to delight, savor and hopefully inspire you. I look forward to sharing my passion and talent with you.

I belong to the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) as well as the Pasadena Society of Artists.
