| Your Personal Biography |
I was born in Kentucky, where I learned to love the beauty of nature. As a teen I moved to Louisiana. From 1990-1992 my husband, myself and our 2 children lived in Saudi Arabia. While living abroad we travelled extensively and that is when I really began focusing on my photography. After returning to the United States, I completed a degree in nursing. After working in the medical arena several years, I decided to return to the university and take courses in photography to enhance my skills. What began as a personal enrichment turned into a BA degree in Visual Arts with a focus in photography. I continue to search for that balance in my life that only art can bring. |
