Fascinated with visual art and movement in dance, my artistic nature began in childhood. I was deeply affected by images from magazines that spread information about the far-off war in Vietnam, the MoMA photography show called The Family of Man by Steichen, the shock of a Diane Arbus monograph and fashion photographers Scavullo and Avedon. Growing up in Charleston, SC I was exposed to the fullness and depth of creative possibilities when I saw stage productions during the annual Spoleto Festival. I was hooked when I saw how a photo come to life in a development tray during my junior year of high school at the Atlanta College of Art.
Today I reside in Athens, GA where I have worked steadily within the photography medium since 2014. Prior to that time, I was an award-winning graphic designer for over 20 years. I was educated at RISD, NYU, and University of the Arts. I have always experimented with photography for many decades and today I devote myself full-time to these artistic efforts.
