Inspired by the love of the outdoors and traveling, I photograph nature and landscapes. Even if I return to the same location looking for wildlife or dramatic lighting, I'm open to witnessing the environment differently and hope I have my camera ready for the event. What I find most rewarding about shooting outdoors and in the elements are the moments of unexpected beauty. These are the memories I like to photograph and share because these are moments in time that might not occur again.

With a background in graphic design and visual art, I enjoy experimenting with new art forms using my photographs. I'm currently exploring the use of alternative printmaking processes and mixed media as ways to communicate the image differently. I use these hands-on methods as outlets to explore the creative process as a means of expression.

Together with my husband and two Springer Spaniels, we divide our time living in Montana and the Oregon Coast, two areas rich in natural beauty and with new things to see and explore.
