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.
