I am an experienced photographic educator, professional portrait artist, and fine art photographer, utilizing my experience to integrate aesthetic form with social advocacy.

I teach photography at universities, for private clients, and in workshops around the country.

I am the recipient of over 30 visual arts education grants.

My art may be viewed in magazines, non-profit galleries, universities, private collections; and non-traditional venues such as educational research institutes, aquatic centers, homes and institutions around the world.

For my entire career as educator/artist, community worker, and professional photographer, I have striven to integrate that creativity into a balanced process that remains at once aesthetic and civic.
