BIOGRAPHY
Artist Statement:

I create extraordinary fine art photography of light, color, composition and design. My work serves as an example to inspire other people to an appreciation and need for beauty. I believe that everyone has a right to beauty in their life.

 
Biographic Information:

I was born in Los Angeles, and raised in Pasadena. At an early age, I evinced a sensitivity and awareness of beauty and good design in architecture and the urban and natural environments. Later, I pursued college studies in architecture and city planning, followed by professional positions in the latter field.

I have lived in Arizona, Oregon and Washington in addition to my native California. Inspired by the scenery in these locales, I ventured into wilderness areas on foot experiencing nature in its most primal form.

Over the years, I explored architecture, cities, parks, gardens, and wilderness areas using a camera. My inner drive has been to create beautiful compositions. At the outset, I taught myself photography and in recent years expanded my knowledge with college courses.

I am a professional photographer who specializes in creating images of architecture, landscape, nature and wilderness.
