My
interest in photography was sparked by my love of nature and the outdoors. I have
been an avid bird watcher for some twenty years, and I have been kayaking for
the last ten years. Both of these pursuits afford me many opportunities to indulge
my passion.
Living in central Maine gives me access to all the varied and magnificent
habitats and scenery that Maine has to offer; from the rocky coast with its picturesque
fishing villages, to the inland lakes and mountains, and of course, Maine's famed
North Woods.
My favorite types of photography are nature close-ups and landscapes...
opposite ends of the spectrum. Landscape photography allows me to show the grand
picture, the scenes that people pass daily, but may not see. With my close-up
images I try to illustrate the drama, patterns and colors that nature offers to
those who are willing to take the time to look for them.
My
work has been displayed at the Maine Photography show, an annual juried exhibit
featuring some of the top photographers in the state. I am also an regular contributor
to the art shows at LA Arts' Gallery
5 in Lewiston.
