-- Rumi
I'm privileged to live where I am surrounded by 'the beauty I love', so recording that beauty, as Rumi says, gives me a way of expressing my deep gratitude for the gifts I've been given. Photography has always helped me pay attention to the present moment, noticing what it is about a particular scene that moves me or interests me. This is good medicine for me, an
d I believe - for what ails most of us in a culture that moves too fast. I print my photographs with archival inks, on fine art papers. Increasingly, I enjoy experimenting with a variety of media, and produce a line of custom photo greeting cards. Through the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, I've had a chance to learn alongside contemporary nature photographer, George Lepp and social documentary photographer, Phil Borges, among others. I've also been privileged to participate in a number of arts trainings sponsored by the Montana Arts Council, and am one of the founding members of the Killdeer Artist Guild, based in Arlee, Montana. In addition to my personal work, I also have a number of on-going projects that I'm involved with. Included in these is photographing artists at work, and sustainable farmers at work in their fields. It is a privilege to be in the presence of people so passionate about their chosen work in the world!
