I have had a camera in my hand since grade school. In fact, I still have those old black & white Polaroid photos of my teachers and fellow students. I graduated from Florida Keys Community College with an AA in Photography and went on to Florida International University to obtain my BFA in Photography.
Photography literally means "drawing with light". I love the search for beautiful light and how it affects what it touches. The process of capturing and turning that vision into a photograph that I can share with others is very fulfilling. Living in the Florida Keys I am surrounded by beautiful light and reflective water.

I am a working member of the Artists in Paradise Gallery in Big Pine Key where I display my photographs. I am also a member of the Professional Photographers of America and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. In addition to my gallery work I am available for portrait and event photographs.
