Photography is my passion. I began shooting at age eleven with a little Brownie, but not until I dared to enter a photography competition at the Ankeny Art Center did I allow myself to really share my passion. To believe there are others who enjoy the art I create was the greatest award I could have received from the event. Every individual, animal, plant, and object has intrinsic beauty. Behind the camera I can take the time to see, hear and feel the story or rhythm being projected. We all color our worlds with our own mixes of paint and I hope to capture moments, colors, lines, and reflections that will inspire folks to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures or see the scenes of everyday life in a new or different light.
