Morning Glory

I have a dancer’s soul that leads me to find ways to capture a reflection of the spirit in the object before me. My vision is a sculpting of space using form, light, texture and color. Photography allows that vision to take shape and may often be the end product of my artistic expression. However, I am also exploring the use of other media when I feel the photo cannot express all that I see.

My work draws from a wealth of life experiences which includes the following: a strong connection with nature while growing up on a farm; immersion in African and Asian cultures through Peace Corps and life events; studying/performing creative arts (dance, improvisation, photography, watercolor) and martial arts (Tai Chi and Karate); and years of work in Pleasanton Schools as a school psychologist and counselor.

Currently, with the gift of time afforded to those retired, I am able to go back to the creative activities of my youth. I am performing with a traditional Hula school (Halau Makana Lani) in Dublin and starting to participate in local art shows. At the Spring 2010 Pleasanton Art League show, one photo earned an honorable mention ribbon. Sharing my vision through photos and other media is my passion.
