Artist Statement:

I have been carrying a camera, sometimes a very heavy one, with me locally and on travels for
almost a decade. I have enjoyed capturing sunsets, landscapes, landmarks, and nature and
shooting some of the interesting sights and beauty the world offers. Seeing the variety of
places, people and environments across the globe, including the Brazil forest and the Amazon,
creates a strong appreciation of diversity, but also highlights the similarities between us.

In recent years I have focused on bird photography, mostly in North and South America.
Capturing pictures of birds in their environment has been an educational journey and
challenging to be in the right place, at the right time, in the right light, with the right settings and
quick reflexes to get the right shot. But when you do get it right, it’s a great feeling. As the
climate change and development continues, one hopes these environments and species can
survive for the next generation to enjoy.

Artist Biography:

I am an amateur photographer who enjoys seeing and experiencing new things and improving my skills as an artist.  I have been fortunate enough to travel for work and since retired, have continued those travels for pleasure, lugging my 30lbs of camera gear when I can. I have participated in various local presentations at ACA and Open Studios as well as craft fairs in Arlington and Lexington.  I am a member of several birding clubs, with a lot to learn from others, and have contributed photographs to various birding groups in the Greater Boston area.
