I am an award winner photographer, and lover of the great outdoors, who lives in the coastal foothills of northern Oregon.  In high school I picked up my dad's old Argus  rangefinder camera and immediately enjoyed the view from behind the lens.

As a visual artist, I enjoy seeking out locations that evoke both the beauty and solitude of nature.  I am blessed to live near the Oregon Coast, as well as the many streams, rivers, and waterfalls that grace the Pacific Northwest.  To experience the instant a sunrise unveils the vivid hues of the morning, to the vibrant colors at the end of the day, it never fails to make my spirit soar.  My desire is that my images will stir that same sense of appreciation, wonder and delight in you.
