I am a resident of southeast Florida, and proud to announce that my work has received many awards.
After graduating from Cornell University with a degree in textiles, I began my career by working in print design, and ultimately started a small weaving company. My colorful textiles and clothing were sold in galleries and boutiques throughout the U.S.
I then transitioned to a sales career. Working in consumer products, I continued to create by writing communications and developing sales collateral by day, while simultaneously creating mixed media art pieces and learning photography during my personal time.
In 2014, I retired. I was then able to devote my energy full time to my new passion: photography. This led to my study of photoshop and other means of digital manipulation.
During the learning process, I joined an international group of digital artists. The group provided advanced training and creative support. As a result, I was able to develop my skills, enabling me to transform my images to reflect my ultimate vision. The inspiration I experienced from the group widened my perspective on possibilities, taking my work into a whole new realm.
