I have been practicing photography as an art since high school. I was fortunate my high school had a working darkroom and I spent a lot of time there and continued that practice in college. I love making photos and doing all kinds of different art, I enjoy learning new things and I'm grateful that I still find so much to be interested in and inspired by.
I live in Dunedin, Florida and have been here most of my life. I love Dunedin so much I nicknamed it Duntopia. I'm involved in my community and I'm a board member with the Dunedin Community Garden and also the Dunedin Friends of the Library. I love books and started the Little Free Library movement in Dunedin. I am a certified Laughter Yoga leader and Meditation teacher. I love to dance in my living room. I love it when people share their stories with me.
A few of my favorite books:
Long Quiet Highway by Natalie Goldberg
The Bear by Andrew Krivak
I Sleep at Red Lights by Bruce Stockler (funniest book I've ever read).
Anything by Steinbeck
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
I love to breathe and move...
