“Creativity is a celebration of one’s grandeur, one’s sense of making anything possible. Creativity is a celebration of — my celebration of life.”                                         —Joseph Zinker

It took me a long time to discover that photography was the preferred expression of my artist’s soul.

When I look deeply into myself, it is not surprising. I spent over 30 years as a practicing psychotherapist finding the beauty, meaning, and essence, in individuals and couples even when they were in pain and despair.  

I am driven to seek the soul, the spirit of things.  

I want to celebrate it and bring forth its nakedness, honesty, vulnerability, and emotion.  

Photography has given me a visual platform for connecting into & celebrating the nature of nature, beauty, and wonder. ​In sharing it with others, I hope to open a discourse that is not possible with words alone.
