About Me
I am a child of the '80s and a lover of all things creative. I love photographing children, animals and nature. When I see a situation unfolding before me I automatically imagine how it could be captured and interpreted with a camera.
My passion for drawing developed long before I learned to read and write. I was one of those children who was given a box of crayons to entertain me for hours on end. Throughout my school years, I was repeatedly invited to the gifted and talented art programs. I especially have a gift for copying a piece of art.
In my spare time I also enjoy taking Wilton cake decorating courses, practicing yoga, reading, and playing the flute. I first picked up a flute in 1992 and have been playing ever since. I am a current member of the Clifton Community Band.
