I am a transplanted New Yorker, having moved to Kentucky to attend college. After graduating, I was offered a teaching position and remained in Kentucky because living was a lot easier.
I taught Middle School art for 27 1/2 years while working on my photography during the summer breaks. My teaching career allowed me to travel and work as a photographer in 18 states and 11 countries. I retired from teaching in 1999 to pursue my fine art photography career.
I am a silver photographer. I work with black and white film and process, print, mat, and frame my work in my home darkroom. I have been interested in making photographic images since the age of eight. In the age of digital photography, I have chosen to work crafting hand-made images produced with chemistry in a wet darkroom.
