“Let me count the ways.” I cherish my children and friends. Animals, both my pets and wild, have enriched my life. I see us as part of the natural world. The cygnet, young swan, is like a preteen girl, beginning to develop her beauty. Snakes and how they shed their skins is a metaphor for [...]

Children naturally connect to the precious in animals and nature. They are responsive to the beauty and variety of the world. Whether it’s birds nests, young rabbits, trees to climb or carrots from the garden, children know how to cherish each experience.

With Thanksgiving Day approaching and Fall truly upon us, I am posting work that brings these two together for me. They are all photographed in Vermont. They are scanned from black & white silver gelatin and palladium prints. I am dedicated to the art of handcrafted prints. I hope this set expands the meaning of [...]

As soon as I put up my work at the Textile Arts Center I realized the connection my work has with arts that have quality in their materials and beauty in their design. Whether my work is done in silver gelatin or the painterly methods of platinum or palladium, I work by hand. Platinum and [...]

Did you ever try to photograph your children and tell a story about how their life is? Sometimes I think we may wish to do a story instead of a “look at the camera” photograph. I did these while visiting a close friend. They are done with a Holga camera so they have a softer [...]

These are portraits of a wonderful family I feel privileged to know. They are also the creators of very comfortable fashionable clothing. American Colors is the name of their company. I did both silver gelatin black & white and palladium prints for them.
