Welcome to my website. I have had a camera in my hand since
childhood and am always thrilled to capture "the moment": an early
morning sunrise, a magical light sunset, a lion yawning or the Costa
Rican Quetzal birds building their nest. Portraits are my special
pleasure.
I graduated from Castilleja School in Palo Alto,
California and received my BA at the University of California, Berkeley
with a double major in Art History and Art. I received a Teaching
Credential from San Jose State University in California. I attended
graduate school at the National Ecole des Beaux Artes in Paris, France
with a Diplome d'Anne in Painting.
My husband and I have 4 children and 7 grandchildren. We have 2 Peruvian Paso horses and a Vizsla dog.
I
have been a teacher, interior designer, landscape designer and a
residential real estate agent. I designed needlepoint canvases, did
graphic design for newsletters and all matter of art related projects. I
have traveled extensively, always with a camera at my eye and attention
to composition.
I came to photography in a studied manner after my
husband and I retired to Sun Valley, Idaho to enjoy our mountain
passions of skiing, horseback riding, hiking and partaking of the art
and music scene. I began taking photography workshops in Sun Valley and
at the Santa Fe Photography Institute. I love learning new techniques
and points of view and am a founding member of the Sun Valley
Photography Club. We meet monthly and shoot to different topics,
organize field trips and host visiting teaching photographers.
I have exhibited in several photography shows and am now selling my work.
Please
contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of my images. Photos
can be printed on all matter of paper, metal and canvas. Prices vary
according to size, typically $50-$1000. I am happy to discuss options
and prices with you.
