“Since I was a young girl, I’ve always loved photography and art.  I’ve always had a point and shoot film camera growing up and bought my first DSLR camera in 2011.  I enjoy capturing everyday moments, things most people would pass up and not notice, as well as taking an image and manipulating it to create something new and challenging.  I’m all about finding a backstory with each image and I try to imagine what a new backstory could be.  I love to create and challenge myself in various forms of art.  I love painting, mainly in acrylics, and I started learning how to oil paint within the last decade.  I’m fascinated with color.  It keeps me thinking of new projects to work on.  I enjoy landscape, wildlife, concert and astrophotography.  Every day is a learning process for me creatively.  I hope the viewer enjoys my work and it hits the right emotions.”
