which is unspoken. My

drawing, painting and
printmaking, evolved into
video, digital photography and
experimental media. I use
digital photography and
imaging to envision the
concepts originating from the

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Photography is in my blood. Early on, I was engaged by my Dad taking 16 mm movies, then 8 mm when I was encouraged to 'try it" now and then.
He always spent time with composing the photo--that stuck with me. My grandfather was a commercial photographer, my father, a photographer in the Navy WWII, brought home images of Papua New Guinea, worlds away and showed us his work. He was also a commercial photographer for a while, and always in love with taking pictures of the family. I developed my first photos, in B/W, in a closet darkroom, taught by my Dad at age 7--using my brownie camera at first, then the Rolicord viewfinder.
My Mom always enjoyed taking photos also and drawing with me. Seeing your work on the ice box does a lot for ego.
I remained engaged by seeing, doing and capturing the moment. |
