About Me

​

BIO

I am an internationally published professional photographer with a lifetime of experience working in several media. Photography has been my only focus as far as production is concerned for the past fifteen years, although I still enjoy looking at painting, sculpture, and ceramics for ideas to apply to two dimensions. My composite images are largely an outgrowth of this ongoing fascination with all things visual.  I am quite sure that my interests spill over into my headshots, portraits, and custom projects as well.  I hold the following credentials:

​

• Extensive education at the New York Institute of Photography 

• A Master of Fine Arts Degree (Studio Art)

• A Bachelors Degree (Studio Art and Art History)

• My work has been shown in over 90 exhibitions and galleries over a 45 year period

• I have over 15 years of experience teaching Art full time at the university level and have served as Department Chairman at two institutions

• I've honed my "people skills" through years of working with individuals and groups as a facilitator and workshop leader. You will find that our time together will be rewarding, self affirming, and revealing.
