I fell in love with everything camera and photography when I touched a camera for the first time at age four. So one can say I have always been a student of photography.

My work was influenced by the beauty of the orchards in California’s Central Valley during my residence there and once I moved to the Monterey Bay, the beauty of this corner of the world took over the images coming out of my camera. I have always been attracted to studio photography and still-life in particular. In the studio the work is done in a space that is neither here nor there, that is the space where my floral work comes from.
