• A little about me:
     
  •     I have always been creative. I enjoy drawing, painting, singing, reading, writing poetry and short stories. I have loved photography for 30 years and have done it professionally for almost 20 years.  It fills up not only my work day, but much of my free time and that's a good thing.
     

A little about my creative works:
  • My first Solo Gallery Exhibition in 2010 was held at the Blue Moon Art Gallery in Vincennes, IN. featuring my Gulf Oil Spill Photo Project.I took my inspiration from photographer Katherine Bish of St. Louis, from whose genius the idea was born. My project's b/w images portrayed many volunteer models who allowed me to drizzle them with chocolate syrup to simulate the toxic crude oil that was killing both marine and wildlife animals. I wished to not only to further raise awareness of their suffering, but also to shine a light on the plight of the financial devastation that was facing the fishing families of Grand Isle, LA. who had lost their livelihoods for a number of months.
