ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I began my photography at age 10 with a birthday gift of a Brownie box camera. Everything became a subject of focus. Whatever a box camera could do became the challenge.
I have published in magazines and brochures and on album covers, and exhibit regularly at local and regional venues. With the advent of high-definition, single lens reflex (SLR) digital photography, and computer programs, I have taken my photos into another realm of visual experience, culminating in the parsal photography series. This format divides (or "parses") the photo into multiple elements of that picture, which are individually framed and displayed as a larger image of itself.

As an artist, I work in watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink, color pencil, pastel, and combinations of each. As a calligrapher, I am able to use these materials to help illustrate the words on a page. As a photographer, I am compelled by the artistic images that enter the lens and then play out on the computer. I feel that my photographs are now on a par with other fine art techniques.
