Artist Statement
“My portraiture project was with the Women’s City Club in Delaware, Ohio, who provide safe affordable housing for women of modest means. These women are here because of a hardship and need time to get their lives together. I am hoping that by photographing these women, I can help to build their self-esteem. With so many obstacles in their lives, they need to realize that they are beautiful inside and out. I hope I can help them see this through my work.”
Biography
As a career teacher, I encouraged my students to use their talents. Now a student of photography, I hone my own talents by capturing the beauty around me through my lens. My portfolio encompasses portraits, flowers, landscapes, and wildlife.
I have taken classes through UA Creative Studios, Columbus State University, Rocky Mountain School of Photography, National Geographic photography workshops and Nikon School workshops.
