BIOGRAPHY

I am a hobbyist photographer whose interest in the art began simply with the desire to take nice vacation pictures. In the 50 years since, I’ve come to realize photographs ability to connect people. Photography is still a hobby, but my philosophy now might best be described as “catch and release”: I want to catch the elements of a scene which touch me, and release, or share them, with others who may find the images equally thought provoking or meaningful.

I have been a member of Summit Art in Lee’s Summit for 18 years, including a term on its board of directors. I have exhibited at the Buttonwood Art Space in Kansas City as well as the 80 Santa Fe gallery in Overland Park.
