Artist’s Statement

I have been taking pictures ever since my mother put my first Kodak Instamatic camera in my hands on my ninth birthday, over forty years ago. Even then I wanted to capture images of nature more than anything else. Nature, the outdoors, calls to me. I bring it inside through my photography.

My inspiration for the photographs comes from the subject itself. The reflection in a calm lake; a butterfly flitting from flower to flower; raindrops lingering on a leaf; the birds, the frogs, almost all other living beings fill me with delight and wonder. I enjoy spending hours outdoors observing and photographing the natural beauty around me.

I hope, through my photographs, others can see my love for the natural world. I also hope my pictures will inspire them to explore the outdoors themselves, searching for the tiniest to the imposing, feeling the calm and peace and silence settle over them.

My photography has won awards ranging from Honorable Mention to First Place at the Alaska State Fair in Fairbanks, Alaska (1991 – 1994); several prints were shown in a now out-of-business art gallery on Hilton Head Island, SC (1998 – 1999); a print won first place at the Texas State Fair (2001); and one image was given the “Viewers’ Choice” award on a now defunct photo critiquing site (2002). I was privileged to have a one-woman showing of my photography at the Eye of the Eagle Art Gallery in Clayton, NC, in April, 2009.

Enjoy the pictures. All are for sale as prints or matted and framed. Each frame is individually painted to complement the photo. Please contact me for more information.
