A native of New Jersey, I attended college at Montclair State where I received a BA in fine arts and certification in art education. It is there that my interest in photography began. I received a MFA in printmaking from Pratt Institute in 1976. My thesis work combined both serigraphy and photography. From 1970–2004, I pursued a career in art education. During that time, I taught art at two New Jersey high schools.

For me, photography is a process of discovery. Discovery, which often comes as I encounter the world around me, by studying the images I create, or exploring the potential of the media I use. My images are quite diverse both in subject and style. They include both representative and abstract imagery, and are always derived from a photographic source. Subject matter encompasses landscapes, still life, nature and people; while motion, color, shape, texture, and pattern are often the subjects themselves.

My images provide a second chance to examine and reflect upon some of those small wonders and often fleeting moments we frequently overlook or take for granted. Through my images I seek to provide an opportunity to consider the underlying structure of a subject; to look at how the forces of nature and time affect us as well as our surroundings; and to examine how we react to that which we encounter. These are all parts of the human experience I seek to capture. All prints are single-issue prints.
