I've been creating images with my camera, since earning a Bachelor of Arts from San Francisco State University.  I started out as a Psychology major because of my interest in the human condition and how people process and experience  emotions.  My photography is  about exploring perception of time, memory, and the transience of life.  I use my camera to explore the mystery and beauty of what is unseen and unknown, always with awareness of impermanence and the fragility of life.  I believe that by viewing or creating art,  not only can we be temporarily transported to a different reality, but that we can feel a sense of  connectedness to others and experience healing of the soul.  The process of my photography has always been extremely cathartic for me and I'm often in a flow state of mind. I spent my formative years growing up in Europe. Ever since moving to the San Francisco, Bay Area, in California, I've been mesmerized by the landscape, ocean, wildlife and the natural light of the sun, which was something I rarely experienced, in the grey, cloudy climate of Europe.  I spend many hours taking long walks, often going off trails to spend time in undiscovered, quiet places that I find to be magical. I also have a deep love of and connection  with generations of deer, who surround the area where I live. Observation of about 12 deer over the years, especially one doe and her offspring  in particular, has been  a mystical, transformative and life altering experience for me and one which I'm profoundly grateful for.  Thank you for taking the time to stop by my website!
