Most of the time trees, grasses and flowers form the backdrop of our lives outdoors in the natural world. These photos attempt to view them with fresh eyes, exploring their colors and striking architecture, bringing them to the foreground of our vision.

Bio: 

I inherited my first Canon SLR, a hand-me-down from my father, in the 1980s. I am self-taught, having learned from looking at great photography since childhood, beginning with a well-worn copy of The Family of Man on my parents’ bookshelf. My love of photography has always been closely tied to my love of travel and observing places and the people who live there. I have visited Nicaragua, Burkina Faso, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, France, Spain, Italy, Quebec, Costa Rica, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. I have also fallen in love with the fascinating regions lying within our own borders: New England, New Mexico, and closer to home – Louisiana, coastal Georgia and the Florida gulf coast.


My photos have appeared previously in South x Southeast and LensWork online. I have exhibited at the Arts Clayton Gallery, PB & J Gallery, the Hapeville Arts Alliance, Oakland Cemetery, and other events during Atlanta Celebrates Photography month each October. I moved to Atlanta in 1989 and live in Hapeville with my husband and cat, and work in the clinical laboratory at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
