Photography
For more than two decades, I have been a photographer, pilot and artist. Through the art of my aerial photography, I aim to inspire an awareness of the beauty and fragility of our earth so to honor its significance, meaning and long -term preservation. From the perspective above, I explore Nature’s palette and ever-changing forms, not apparent on land or sea, creating images evoking the spirit of a place. The beauty, breadth and interconnection of earth, sea and sky opens new understanding and appreciation for what we have and want to protect and preserve.
I create Fine Art Aerial Photography with representational and abstract images
What’s the story behind your work?
Once I earned my pilot’s license, I brought my love of the Arts to my passion for Flight. This happened through exploring possibilities in creativity workshops which I facilitated for many years and which continually “opened my eyes”.
What do you hope people will feel when they see it?
When people see my work, I hope they feel a sense of awe, wonder, curiosity and inspiration.
How does your work create community or bring people together?
My work offers a perspective seldom seen and invites a further look, which leads to contemplation & discussion.
Who helped you along the way?
Other experienced photographers, realtors (my first clients), homeowners, pilots & art communities.
How do you give back/support others?
I give back by donating photos & books to non-profits and volunteering at schools and clubs with educational presentations.
