Biography

I've always loved art and nature photography, and now that I'm retired, I can devote more time, attention, energy, and passion to these pursuits.


It's a bit difficult to specialize in these two distinct areas, but they are both equally important to me, and I can't give up either one. Photography can be full of surprises and very thrilling. It's fun to be out in nature, discovering new things during a shoot, and experiencing joy when my images turn out well. Digital art is a more cerebral passion, and is a wonderful change in routine when I'm not up for photography.



My goal is to add beauty, joy, and fun to the world through my art. I hope people will come away from my gallery uplifted and satisfied.
