LIFE IS ABOUT THE JOURNEY

And what an epic journey it is…

My photography and art are the result of my pursuit to witness a depleting natural globe, bring the surreal to life, and archive remarkable moments in time while sharing my view of the world. I love all landscapes though growing up in Colorado has made me particularly drawn to the mountains. There is no awe inspiring or life-changing story…my love of photography has simply been as much a part of me as my long blonde hair and big feet.

Though my formal education was in human resources and organizational management, my heart always led me to extreme ends of the earth with a camera in hand. My successful 25-year career in the Air Force gave me a barrage of opportunities I never resisted taking advantage of. Retiring from the Air Force has allowed me to fulfill my photographic dream as an artist.
