I am a fine art photographer and teacher. I photograph in a documentary style. My first major portfolio was a "Colloquy: Mothers and Daughters". The images began with adolescents and their mothers then older daughters and their elderly mothers and finally culminated with mother/daughter generation photographs. All my work uses black and white film, a variety of medium format cameras and is traditionally and archivally printed in the wet darkroom resulting in silver gelatin prints.

Subsequent travel and work has resulted in portfolios from Honduras, Bulgaria, Uganda, Kenya and most recently, Cuba. Four trips to the island of Cuba beginning in 2000 has resulted in several portfolios - "Women in Cuba", "Rural and City Life" and "Time Stopped".

I am interested in observing people, their rituals, habits and everyday
life. I am interested in peoples' lives….their families, relation-ships and working experiences. I work slowly observing the ordinary moments knowing that there is the inherent possibility that these moments are extraordinary.

Matted 14"x14" prints are $300; framed $350.
