My interest in photography began during the time I was in college, majoring in natural resource conservation. I was involved in many outdoor activities, and found myself drawn to landscape / nature photography. Over the years I continued to take pictures, but not with the same passion. This passion was rekindled several years ago. I took a course in advanced digital imaging at a local college, and subsequently purchased my first digital camera. I was drawn to digital photography because of the degree of personal control and creativity this medium affords.
I am most likely to be photographing outdoors. My favorite subjects include New England landscapes, Maine coast seascapes, lighthouses, architecture, and wildlife. My goal is to better "see" the world around me and capture this region’s unique beauty in a way that can be shared and provide inspiration to others.
My images have been exhibited in galleries in New England, and as a member of Digital Photography Internationale, my work has been shown in galleries across the United States. My photography has been featured on book, magazine, and catalog covers, and in magazine and newspaper articles. In addition, my images have won numerous awards on the internet, and are featured in several online galleries. In 2005 I collaborated with photographers from four countries to produce the book "IMAGES TO BRIGHTEN OUR WORLD" , the sales from which, aid tsunami victims . As a teacher, I am on the faculty of the Sharon Arts Center, NH, the Fitchburg Art Museum, MA, and the Petersham Craft Center, MA where I teach workshops on digital imaging and photography.
