About Me

Ever since I was a little girl and first got my hands on a Brownie Hawkeye Flash camera and started creating little 3" x 3" ,snapshots of the world around me, I've been passionate about photography - despite hating having my own photo taken my whole life! I generally try to fade into the background, and the most noticeable thing about me is probably my curly silver hair.

I find beauty in simple, often-overlooked places, and my travels fuel my work, capturing quiet, soulful moments with fresh perspectives that invite pause and reflection.

When I'm not behind the lens, I cherish time with family and friends, and I adore nature, yoga, reading, volunteering, designing native landscapes, interior design, and turning life's messes into calm, organized spaces.

I'm mom to 4 grown children, all adopted from Asia, whom I love more than life itself... all such truly lovely human beings, thriving in and contributing to this world.

I was born and raised in Florida, USA. My career was in nursing, (30+ years), a mixture of cardiology, emergency medicine, and education, with a focus on diabetes education the last decade. Intermingled with that, I also co-owned/operated a B&B in historic Savannah, Georgia, USA, as well as co-owned a wood products import/export business in several states for 20+ years.

Explore my Gallery for images that speak to you. Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or special requests (I've uploaded only a small fraction of my 100,000+ photos - perhaps I have just what you're looking for in my archives). I'd love to connect with you.

ADDENDUM:
The rapid rise of AI art both fascinates and frightens me - not because the technology isn't impressive, but because I fear we're losing sight of what makes human creativity irreplaceable. Passion for preserving human artistry led me to create Three by Three: Guest Artists in Focus, a page on my website spotlighting the sacred work of fellow creators. Please check it out and support human artistry.
