Artist Statement
Other than two basic b&w photography courses courses taken 35 years ago, I am self-taught in photography. After 20 years of working with b & w film in the darkroom, I now include color photography in my repertoire and work primarily with a digital camera. Photography took a sideline as I advanced in my career as an educator, conflict resolution specialist and mother. My photography reflects my interest in people, the narratives of their lives, and the environments that shape them. My passion for photography has taken me further than the eye can see and sometimes in unexpected directions. Most exciting is moving from primarily concrete to abstract images that have emerged on this journey.
