My work has shifted as I have,
from my black and white darkroom days
to the light and motion of the abstract.
Follow along as my way of seeing has changed over time.
I found a meme that said “I shop therefore I am”.
And thought that is so me!
Then, my life changed to “I photograph, therefore I am”.
I created a photography meetup group and joined life again.
Next, my life changed to “I am here, therefore I am”.
Took me a while to realize that just the act of ‘being’ brings value.
Now, “I am me, therefore I am”.
A Long Way Home…
After forty years away, returning to the camera and the horses felt like a homecoming. They became my constant companions as I navigated the challenges of rebuilding my life. From my darkroom days to a decade of capturing the spirit of horses, my way of seeing has now shifted into the light and motion of an abstract interpretation. This journey has lit up my life, and I am so grateful to share it with you.

My Photography Journey…
The Monochrome Horse
My first efforts in B&W were records of what I saw. It seemed simpler to photograph events as they were because it was the ‘truth’ in black and white.
Textured Equine
Then I started to realize life wasn’t always ‘black and white”. I started to experiment with textures and it added an artistic touch. Life has many layers.
Abstract Impressions
Now, I enjoy using motion, light and patterns to create abstract images. These images are made intentionally to represent what I saw in my mind.
