Bio

My work is an expression of my emotions. Sometimes my emotions are scattered and sometimes not. I express myself best in black and white, yet there are moments when color is a must.We walk through life and sometimes miss the beauty.  When we come to something that we gravitate to, it’s only for a fleeting moment. My camera allows me to revisit those moments. My series on calla lilies have helped me through some difficult and dark times in my past. In 2009 I lost everything: my husband died, my home was lost due to poor financial decisions, and my 'home' was placed in storage for many years.  While living in a small room at my mother's home I started photographing calla lilies. I had just picked up a Nikon D90 and started teaching myself how to use this newfound digital camera.  I captured then my calla lilies in natural light and had used a black pelt. Those photos, helped me through not only the loss of my husband, but my life as I knew it.  I continue using calla lilies, they have become my signature to myself. From ashes, beauty is born.
