I was born and raised in upstate New York. Married and moved to Southern California in 1972. After raising three wonderful children I discovered the wonderful world of digital photography, and it soon became my passion. I have spent the past 7 years developing my skills through education and dedication to this art form. I use photography along with photoshop and paint software programs to create many of the special effects I use in my art, and have more recently started creating original digital art from a blank canvas,using digital tools, without photography. My passion for digital photography, and digital art, was to ramain a hobby until I was encouraged to take it in a new and exciting direction when some of the local design stores wanted to display and sell my art in their store. My hobby turned into a wonderful new career which has brought amazing joy and fulfillment to my life.
