About Me

​

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and trained as a therapist/school counselor.  I now use my camera to capture the beauty and wonder of the natural world. I am inspired by the work of Georgia O Keefe, Guy Tal and the Impressionist painters.

​

My interest lies in Macro and Landscape photography.  Just as a painter will express their personal vision of a subject or scene, the photographer too can create a fusion of abstractions and representations on canvas.  I am fascinated with creating an impressionist painting with the raw image in the digital darkroom.  The final product is immersed in a sea of color emphasizing the inherent beauty of nature.

​

I work to convey my personal vision and not simply record an image…any camera can do that.  Each work is unique based on light composition and focus captured in a moment in time.   The work in the darkroom further enhances the image using hue, saturation and luminescence.  In the words of Ansel Adams, “Art implies control of reality, for reality itself possesses no sense of aesthetic.  Photography becomes art when certain controls are applied”.
