Artist Bio:
Since receiving my first camera as a child, I have been interested in
taking photos. For many years, photos were taken to record memories of
outdoor activities. I became interested in the way light plays on things
and took my first photography classes in High School. I continued to
take photos throughout my life capturing the light and saving memories.
Over the last 10 years, my photos have shown in a number of local shows
and galleries, as well as, been published in local newspapers and
newsletters. Some of my photos have been used in educational slideshows
shown in elementary schools. I now take photos not only to capture
moments in time, but that also tell stories and share feelings.
