“Artist” has been at the core of my identity long before I even understood its meaning. From childhood wonder to formal studies in photography and illustration at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA, and later at The Museum School of Fine Art in Boston, MA, my creative journey has been a lifelong pursuit. For decades, I worked as a designer and communicator, but only recently have I fully embraced fine art photography as my own.

My photography is deeply influenced by my background in design and storytelling. Often accompanied by poems or short narratives, my images explore the intricate details of nature and design, uncovering hidden rhythms and overlooked beauty in the world around us.

My illustrations range from graphic printing to photo-realism to satirical absurdity. From pop-art prints and high-detailed vector portraits to cartooning, my illustrations and graphic designs offer a dramatic range in styles.
