I studied photography at Brooks Institute of Photography. Following Brooks, I had the honor of being selected to work as an assistant to Ansel Adams at one of his Yosemite Workshops. In the years since I have continued to study and evolve as a photographer and an artist studying under such luminaries as Paulette Travormina, Maggie Taylor and Ysabel LeMay. I have twice been a finalist in the international Julia M. Cameron Awards for Women Photographers. In addition to local exhibits my work has been exhibited at the Foto Biennale in Berlin and at FotoNostrom in Barcelona, Spain.
My work combines traditional photography with digital interpretation. My many layered photomontages are created by extracting elements from my original photographs and digitally weaving, entwining and blending those elements in layers until the final composition emerges. Some of compositions have over 100 individual layers.
