MY JOURNEY...

As a child I was always interested in art. I remember one of my favorite gifts as a child was an easel and smock from one of my Mom's friends. I think from that moment on my joy in creating was to become a lifelong quest. My journey has taken several different paths along the way. I've done everything from painting tee's for craft shows to commercial quilting with a professional long arm machine and most recently lampworking (making glass beads with a torch). However, all of that came to a screeching halt when I got my first DSLR camera. I have found my little piece of heaven, my nirvana.... I've always loved photography. It as always one of those things I wished I could do. There's something about the brilliance of a sunset, or the tranquility of a lake on a summer afternoon, or even the crazy bold accessories of a model in a fashion magazine that speaks to my heart. It resonates deep within and calls for me to learn, to explore... and that's exactly what I've done. The sewing machine sits idle, the torch is cool to the touch but the shutter of the camera is constantly clicking, creating, exploring....
