I tend to shoot photos intuitively, much like a keeping a visual journal. When I have my camera in hand, I’m very actively engaged with my surroundings. Photography is my way of connecting to the world around me, and my way of communicating what I feel. With that, I strive to illuminate the simple beauty that is all around us. I like to think of it as gathering evidence to share with others. I hope that people come away with new insight, another way to see the familiar. A friend once told me that when she looked at my photographs, it was like looking into another world, like a peephole into a secret garden. Another said that certain images invite her in, giving her a haven from hectic times.

I appreciate the fact that we have such a wonderful artist community in Marin and the opportunity to share in our varied passions.
