I've spent my life looking at and admiring all kinds of pictures photographs and paintings alike. As for me, looking through the lens of a camera and zeroing in on something beautiful or unusual is a downright exciting thing! The joy of shooting pictures has awarded me the pleasure of receiving over 100 prizes in photography and several other media. My photos do not resemble those I loved in Life but I do enjoy taking pictures of whatever catches my eye, being able to freeze the images in still time--where they can be seen and enjoyed over and over again.. Picasso inspired me to paint. Seeing his exhibition in Paris--the variety, vitality, and strength of his work--I had little choice but to begin. Now, an artist myself, I've experimented with many media. I love the bold colors of acrylics, the magic of watercolors, the joy of mono prints--the endless possibilities of washes in black and gray. My purpose is to explore and experiment with a variety of media for the sheer joy of producing art that is colorful, strong, expressionistic and  individualistic.
