About The Photographer

Since retiring as a Professor of Dance for 40 years I rediscovered my creative outlet of photography. As far back as the 1980s, when I displayed and sold some of my photos, I have been taking photographs. My photographs illustrate exactly what I saw when I took them; they have not been altered. 

My photographs come from France, Finland, Florida, Oregon, California, New York, Connecticut, and Arizona. They are categorized into four themes; Nature, Water, Flowers, and Buildings. Three photos have been selected as Honorable Mention and have been shown in gallery competitions. Rainbow was in the Blue Koi, Open Theme Art Exhibition, October 2025 and was taken at Lake Päijänne in Jyväskylä, Finland in 2024. Family was in the Ten Moir Gallery, December 2024, was taken in Crandall Park in Tolland Connecticut, 2023. Reflection was in the Praxis Gallery February-March 2023 and was taken in 2019. It is the sunset reflected off of the glass of the bus stop in Chaudenay-la-ville, Burgundy, France. 

Six canvas pieces are currently hung in La Baguette Parisienne bakery in Tucson, AZ. Three canvas prints were exhibited at the Black Box Gallery in Portland Oregon in 2022. My photographs were on exhibit in the Lake Oswego Oregon Public Library for the month of July, 2023. Any  of my photographs may be purchased as canvas wall art in various sizes or as photographic prints. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing which art pieces fit for you.
