Artist statement
Sights, people and sounds as near as my garden and as far away as another continent inspire my photography. My work prompts the sights, sounds and imagery derived from ordinary moments.
Each image is individually dramatized when a viewer interprets what I present as what was, what is or what will be. My images inspire a viewer to take the moment further when he or she anticipates while viewing a photograph or after. What proceeded this moment? What is happening outside of the frame? What happens next?
My photography may prompt a viewer with feelings like, pleasure, pain, empathy, serenity and perhaps desire.
Biography
I grew up while traveling the continental United States and the Pacific. My appreciation for artistic creativity was prompted by the many places I lived and by each person who took the time to share the sights and sounds of their world. I experienced amazing sights and lived each country. Now I travel near and far to capture moments expressing the stories of our world.
I began my professional career teaching high school, BS secondary education, in Michigan. I received tenure there. From there, I went to get a second bachelor degree, BA in Radio/Television and an MA in Telecommunication. Then my first university teaching job at Southwest State MN, followed by another tenured position teaching Radio and Television at Drake University. After receiving a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction at Drake University I was hired, later tenured, to research and teach Broadcast and Electronic Communication at Marquette University. I worked at Marquette University for 29 years. I am now retired.
