Born and raised in Northern California and proud to be a
native Sacramentan... I'm a Fine Art Photographer with a
deep love and passion for the "ART" of photography.
As I was growing up, I always dreamed of being a photographer...I was
always the one with the camera. As digital technology became more
accessible to me over the last 8 years, I began collecting higher-end
equipment and editing software and eventually started handing out
business cards, it's been a blast... a dream come true.
Back in the 80’s I was busy with my insanely large video camera, taping
weddings. At that time my passion was producing video slide shows
from photographs. Creating a story of someone's life or highlighting a
milestone such as a 40th birthday, a 40th anniversary or the birth of a
baby. I still love that body of work.
I love creating art from someone’s life...life is so beautiful!
My photo journalistic style, combined with my ability to uniquely edit
photos to create a more intimate or dramatic piece is my passion…my
art. I take pictures of people!
In 2009 AND 2010 I was voted in the TOP 5 on the KCRA A List for
BEST PHOTOGRAPHER in Sacramento.
My primary committment...projects to raise awareness or promote
acceptance - on a variety of topics from supporting same sex marriage
to discrimination against aging and disabilities.
I am one of 14 artists at the Kennedy Gallery in midtown Sacramento
and am committed to using my talent to raise awareness of promote
acceptance...
