As I walk through a park or garden I am bombarded by sights, sounds, smells and textures. this sensory cacophony is to me “the Rites of Spring” by Stravinski. I am filled with wonder and mystery by the beauty and the intricate, yet powerful forces of nature that created it. During a photographic outing to the Lincoln Park Conservatory flower show in Chicago, IL, my personal world of photography was revealed to me. I have explored this world ever since. After college I worked a variety of jobs. in my free time I sold stock photography, did commercial assignments and showed fine art photographic prints as I bustled through the daily chaos of life. in 2000, I helped form and became director of Sandstone Gallery in downtown Billings, MT. I currently lead a quiet life in Billings, where with the support of my family and friends I spend each day juggling artistic pursuits and family responsibilities.
