I was born in Havre de Grace, Maryland. My first visual impressions would have been the interesting lines and arches of our historic Federal style residence filled with eclectic patterns from oriental rugs and fine art, and the sweeping vista of the Chesapeake Bay and the surrounding farmland from atop our hillside home called Sion Hill. I was brought into a life of structure, form, beauty, history, and charm. I have spent the last fifty years of my life processing, reimagining, and utilizing my early impressions in pursuit of art, expressed photographically. There is little that I have not done, or tried, over my long career as a professional artist. I love that photography is the perfect blend of art and science. I value and celebrate the essential importance of light and color. As a professional photographer, visual communication and problem solving is paramount. This requires that I apply myself intellectually, yet I have discovered that my best work comes from my heart.
