Growing up on a farm in central Pennsylvania was a wonderful gift.  As a child, I was able to spend countless hours outside playing and exploring which helped to cultivate a deep love and respect for nature and all its inhabitants. This profound connection to the natural world has evolved into a desire to share its many wonders with others.  Photography became my chosen medium, a way to translate my love and vision of how I have observed nature and wildlife for many years.  Through my lens, I can begin to compose a moment of vibrant colors, interesting animal behavior, beautiful landscapes, and many other amazing encounters.  With my images and prints, I hope to inspire others to appreciate the wonders of our planet.

  

 My passion for capturing our natural world has also developed into a unique line of accessories that include scarves, ties, and aprons.  This creative process begins when I select various photos from my collection that have interesting colors, textures, and patterns.  These images are then printed on high quality materials made with eco friendly dyes to create a one-of-a-kind look.  

​

 I've had the privilege of having a few of my images published in magazines, such as Birds and Bloom and The Book of Arts : Biafarin Awards 2021.  I was also the recipient of the Biafarin Awards Grant for being one of the top three finalist for this competition.

 

 In 2018 Natural Beauty (featured in the flower/plant section) was selected for the final round of judging in the London's Natural History Museums Wildlife Photographer of the Year photography competition. In 2021, Looming in the Background and Beautiful Burdock were also selected for the final round of judging in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.  Also, I placed in the top three for the Philadelphia Flower Show Artistic/ Landscape Photography Class in 2023.
