Born 1944, USA.
the artist lives and works in Jackson, Michigan,, USA.
I am a visual person, and so I will try to be brief
with the words.
I asked for my first camera at the age of nine.
Purchased my first camera at the age of nineteenhavent been without
one since.
Took drawing and painting courses at Eastern Michigan University, and
the University of Michigan.
Served my graphic art apprenticeship at a number of in-house studios in
Chicago, IL, and Ann Arbor, MI. Worked as a designer in Ann Arbor,
Miami, Boston, and the San Francisco Bay area.
Lived and traveled on a small sailboat for three years, photographing
the ocean, sky, the foreign ports and people we visited: the Bahamas,
Haiti; the Azores, Portugal, Morocco, and others. This was a wondrous
experience of living in the vast openness of sea and sky. I had, and
have not since, felt more in touch and connected to Nature (Gaia, the
Earth Goddess).
I now live in Jackson, Michigan, where I continue to work as a graphic
designer/small-format photographer and pursue my love of photography
as an art form.
