With a background in fine art and art education, I have worked in many media, but years ago I was seduced by a camera’s unique ability to capture a certain ephemeral quality of light and shadow that speaks to my themes of time and transience.  Working in collaboration with sunlight, I compose with layers of shadows, reflections, images, marks, fragments of text, and objects from my collection.

Nature is my muse.  I’m endlessly fascinated and curious about the small natural wonders that I encounter each day, an ongoing revelation of the extraordinary in the ordinary.  I’m especially drawn to the transition between the tangible presence of something as common as a leaf or a bird, and the mystery of its intangible life force.  My photographs are still life inventions that hover somewhere in this transitional space, between stillness and life, between document and poetry, between memory and imagination.
