I work through instinct and intuition.  I use my iPhone for all my photographs.  Photography appears to have chosen me. I had no conscious intent of becoming an artist, and had no prior experience or evidence of my artistic talent. My art is a spontaneous visual, emotional response to what I encounter around me. I love color and optics. The composition of my pieces is based on what’s most pleasing to my eye. It is about surprise and being in the moment – choosing presence.

​

I call it "creative fugue." I refer to my photos as “found abstractions.” Within each moment of photography, I trust that I will be shown what I need to capture and communicate. I don’t know what I’m looking for until I see it and I am somehow captured by it. I often wander freely, either walking or on my bike. I want my sole focus to be on gathering the images. I allow myself time for exploration. Generally, only a handful of exposures happen before I move on to the next image. When I return home, I review the photos in larger format on my computer to see if any of them speak an essential truth that I’m trying to communicate.
