When I actual remember to bring a camera, I still sometimes need to remember that pictures can be taken even when they are not dressed up and when there is a very low interesting visual activity. Pulling branches around and painting seem pretty action-less, but I need to remember to stay open to capturing images at anytime and make the best of what there is.
Born in Miami Florida. Grew up in the 80's in Summit New Jersey, about 30 miles west of NYC where I attended art school, SVA. Studied photography and graduated with a BFA. Attended Southern Methodist University for two years before attending SVA. Moved to Florida in 1995 to marry my husband Dan. We used to live behind one another when we were babies in 1970.
