"My artistic passion involves revealing the unique beauty found in the simplest moments and places. I often 'see' in a painterly way, having inherited an acute awareness of color, shape, mood and light from my beloved mother, who was a renaissance woman of many talents.

I began my creative career as a musician, playing guitar and singing in local pubs, as well as booking and hosting an original music show. The moment I picked up my first camera, I intuitively felt a connection between music and photography. For me, creativity originates from one inner source, yet the expression of that creative energy can take multiple forms.

 Photographing local NYC musicians was a natural starting point for my career, [then] I expanded my work to include shooting a wide range of portraiture and events. 

The last several years have seen a major shift in my creative focus, to that of fine art photography. I’m a natural born adventurer/explorer, and as such I seek to reveal unique elements of light, water, beauty and seasonal changes in a variety of environments.  Regardless of the subject matter, my goal has always been to impart an element of freshness, spontaneity and risk taking to the creative process."
