I am a child of the west who grew up wandering in the mountains and wide open spaces. The adults in my life showed me the wonders of Yellowstone from Old Faithful to the delicate filaments waving in the overflow of a gentle hot spring. Mom generously shared her knowledge of how to identify the flowers in a small bouquet picked from the sagebrush meadow near our cabin in Colorado or the tracks in the mud by the stream where my father fished. Cousin Ruthie showed me ways to capture all that enthralled me with a camera. These family teachers of my youth instilled a deep love of learning and fueled the fires of my intense love of detail and documenting. 

Combining the foundation of my youth with my value of beauty in life, it's no wonder that photography is a passion I kept returning to throughout my life, and is now my profession. Collecting beauty in this world and sharing it through my work makes for a satisfying life.

I believe life is savored more deeply when creating; therefore, I create daily. Creating leaves little room for drama, whining or complaining, but opens the door to deep gratitude for a life fully lived.

A few of my large ongoing passion projects are:  

Yellowstone's Geyser Basin Repeat Photography Project

Yellowstone Naturalist - an online field journal for the greater Yellowstone area 

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
