I have been shooting photographs in Maine for over 22 years.

Moving up here from the south, I am attracted to the varied, natural beauty of Maine.

I look for simplicity in landscapes: simple lines, shapes or vistas. I’m attracted to surface textures.

 

Old worn buildings, barns, present a image of an object regressing, transforming back down to the natural world. Often I see the sculptural shapes in rocks, old wharfs, stumps of trees. I see the unique lines of a bare tree or tracks in the snow. I enjoy the stark landscapes that winter and snow offer.

 

I come to photography from a background as an Art Director for advertising agencies and design shops. I have directed many photo shoots for ads and brochures. I wrote and produced film shoots for television commercials here in Maine. I graduated from East Carolina University School of Art and Design.

 

I am a member of the Photographic Society of America, Creatives Group of Portland, the Maine Union of Visual Artists

and the Portland Camera Club.

My photos have been featured in state and national shows.
I received Photographer’s Forum Best of Photography Award of Excellence in 2016.
