I grew up in Atlanta, GA, and had the amazing opportunity to study in New York City and London to become a classical musician. After working as a professional bassoonist for several years, I transitioned to management positions in a tech firm before moving to higher education, where I served as the Executive Director of Continuing Education at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia.

I retired in 2020 and, after 20 years of creating lifelong learning opportunities for the community, took a “busman’s holiday” and studied digital photography.

With an affinity for contemporary painting and sculpture, I became intrigued with creating similar effects with digital tools. My passion lies in creating images that cause the viewer to pause and ponder. I hope is that my images enable the viewer to look beyond what they initially see..
