I am a third-generation native of southern Arizona. My parents were photographers and my father encouraged my interest by supplying cameras, starting when I was about eight years old. Distracted for decades by school and work, upon retirement, I found my camera again. My husband brought me into the 21st century of photography with camera and lenses. I enjoy action photography, including what nature shows us. I have studied with Click Thompson, Scott Kelby, Erik Kuna, and Rammy Kazemi. My photographs have been selected as finalists and won honorable mentions in photography contests. I am honored that some of my photographs have been juried into exhibitions across the United States and that some kind people have chosen to add some of my images to their private collection.
