People fascinate me. I have always been curious about how they live, work, experience life, and relate to the world. For many years I worked as a trauma psychotherapist, using words to help people deal with their emotions, relationships, and past experiences. Then retiring gave me the time to further develop my love of photography. I still wanted to be involved with people, but my focus changed from the verbal to the visual. These days I work with images instead of words. I am drawn to photographing people who use actions to express themselves - who use their bodies to communicate and tell their story. The camera enables me to translate their narrative into accessible and universal language. Taking and sharing photographs connects me in a very tangible way with the people and world around me. I find the process deeply satisfying and endlessly appealing
