Welcome to my world………how I see the world – people, places and things.

A lifelong artist and photographer based in Colorado, with a career in architecture and construction project management. Now semi-retired from the construction industry devoting my time to my passion for photography.

I’ve been taking pictures since I was 10, with my Polaroid. I was also creating floor plans when I was 10. But it was my father who gave me my very first 35mm camera for my high school graduation. Although I would initially pursue a career in architecture and construction project management, I never stopped taking photographs. In my heart of hearts, I’ve always been an artist and a photographer.

It was at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass Village that I learned to develop and print my images in a darkroom. After that I was hooked! I went on to take numerous classes and workshops at Colorado Mountain College in Aspen where I lived for 20 years.

A once avid hiker and skier residing in smaller towns on the western slope of Colorado, I returned to my roots as a city dweller. I still love the mountains and being in nature, but I also love the city, and everything about it. Aside from the many culture amenities, I love the diversity. I love the people, from all walks of life.

I’m an animal lover with one precious cat named Bella. I’m a historian and a storyteller, documenting a moment in time whether it’s with my Nikon or iPhone. The world catches my eye everywhere I turn.

Please contact me for your next photoshoot!

Ciao Bella!
