My emphasis was in both photography and clay. I am continuing my education in art by working on my Masters degree part time. Working in clay and photography has been a life saving therapy for me during a bleak period of my life. I place a great deal of emotion into all my creations. I choose to shoot color film underwater to express the riotous world the oceans are.
Color disappears at a very shallow depths until light is applied.
Once the strobe light fires, a kaleidoscopic rainbow screams for attention. My dive partners have benefited from slowing down and seeing the small, wonderful life underneath them that they had sailed over, never taking the time to notice before. On land I shoot both color and black and white. I studied photography under Anthony Howell , Michael Berman, Chuck Pawlick and Claude Smith while working on my Bachelors degree. Having these different views gave me a unique advantage not usually experienced.
