I used to love to paint however over many years I have developed a “Familial Tremor” which affects my fine motor control. I no longer have a steady hand and therefore cannot do the painting I love. Photography has become my new creative outlet. With image stabilizing lens’ I am aided quite a bit. The editing process is a very different and forgiving form of painting to me. You will see quite a bit of my work may have the look of a painting. I like to alter the images to add and intensify subject matter. Sometimes I will de-saturate a photo but usually I graduate to brighter colors.
I have always had creative energy and enjoy the company of artists in every form, free spirits and original thinkers! I love the ocean and could never move away. The water calls to my soul. Always going barefoot, I like the feel of sand in my toes, the wind in my hair and the sun on my face! My mood may wane with the changing of the seasons but my inspiration never does!
Originally from Connecticut, followed by a number of years in Canada, then several towns here and there in Massachusetts I have been fortunate enough to finally settle on Cape Cod for the past 20+ years. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and beautiful New England scenery has helped to inspire the love I have always had for photography. Being an avid gardener I have a true appreciation for beautiful landscapes, flowers, birds, sunsets and the environment! Travels within the United States and beyond have afforded me opportunities to take some fabulous photos which I share with you here!
