September 12, 2025Tuesday, September 9 - Saturday, September 27
Reception: Friday, September 12 | 5-7 PM
Gallery Hours: Tues - Fri, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM | Sat, 12:00 - 4:00 PM | additional hours by appointment
My work is digital photography, both black & white and color. I photograph plants, animals, and landscapes. Some of the landscapes I photograph include the built environment.
I began taking photos with my parent’s polaroid in the 1970’s and then got a Minolta film camera during high school. Once digital cameras appeared on the scene in the 1990’s, I switched from film and never looked back.
Plants are my lifelong passion and the focus of my education, life’s work, teaching, and art, but I am also fascinated by birds, insects, mammals, and fungi.
Photography is my other passion and each day, weather permitting I try to spend a few hours taking pictures.
