Originally from New York City, I have recently returned to my home after living in the Poconos, Pennsylvania for 22 years. I am a city gal once again.
Photographer
I am a photographer who enjoys photographing a variety of subjects including nature, concerts, wrestling, country & urban scenic imagery. I specialize in intimate and macro views. I just love zooming in on small details which can be discovered within the larger view. Current photographic obsession are flowers. I just can't seem to get enough of them and I have never met a flower that I didn't love.
Artist
After a long hiatus, I have returned to my love of hand drawn art. When I was a child and throughout my teens, my passion was for fashion illustration. I have recently rediscovered my love for it and have amassed a large collection of fresh images. In addition to my love of illustrating fashion, I also love illustrating birds and flowers. I also have a big collection of digital images which I have created over the years, mostly in the genre of fantasy. Currently, I am also exploring my love of mandalas and other hand drawn design elements.
Writer
I have written one published book, Digital Flower Photography: Technique, Style, And Art. This book is the product of my passion for flower photography and shares my technique.
Currently I am working on my second book, an instructional book on self portrait photography which will be published next year.
In addition, I am also working on combing my art with words in a graphic novel based on lucha libre wrestling characters that my late husband and I created.
