    About

    • "The Wind Doth Blow" ... and the snow doth fall here, too.
    • "The Crying Apple" left alone in a wood thick with bare branches..

    Reality Meets Imagination..

    I've always dabbled in the art world in some way - a painter and a writer - but it wasn't until 2003 that I picked up a camera and realized it was what I had been looking for to express my creative side in the way I imagined.

    (We're not going to mention that my father was a photographer and I just sort of didn't "think" about that outlet until I was older).

    When I look through the viewfinder I see things that others might not - whether it's a certain perspective, an emotion, or a story of some kind. I try - with my photography - to capture the dream world I spent my childhood years hiding in.

    In 2010 I quit my day job as a newspaper photographer to sell my art online and in galleries.

    Born in Cleveland, Ohio, I now live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with my husband and scattered close by (within walking distance) are my four grown children and my five grandchildren.

    Life is good..

      I'm a fine art photographer who likes to meld the everyday things of life with a bit of fantasy.

    Production partners

    • professional canvas wrap print house

      CO, United States

      This professional print house is where I get my gallery wraps printed after sending my large image files via internet.

    • professional print house

      MN, United States

      My professional printer - where I get all my photographs printed at - does the printing of my photographs onto metal which is then sent to me, where I cut, bend, and form them into my new metal photo jewelry line.

    Shop policies

    Last updated on August 6, 2017
    All of my photos are printed on archival Kodak Professional Endura paper with a lustre surface..

    Requests for different sizes of my work are welcome, and I do ask that the client add a few days to the time before the piece is shipped due to ordering a print from my printer. I do not do my own printing, as I want the highest quality for my clients.

    Accepted payment methods

    Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits
    Returns and exchanges
    Refunds on photographs must be done within 3 weeks of the purchase. I do not accept returns on large format prints or canvas wraps as those are considered custom orders.

    For photographs that are damaged in transit, my policy is that you cut a 2-inch piece out of the middle of the photo and send it in an envelope back to me. A new photograph will be sent to you upon receipt of the portion of the damaged photo.

    Photos 8x10 to 11x16 are usually put between two pieces of heavier foam core and sealed with "do not bend" stamped on the outside. Very large prints are usually sent in a mailing tube or in large boxes.

    I am not responsible for items lost in transit, but will work with you if there is a problem.

    ** Customer is responsible for any and all customs fees per your country.
    Payment
    Payment methods include PayPal and credit cards.
    Shipping
    I ship within 3-5 business days for photos that are in stock. If you see a photograph that you like but someone has just purchased it, please feel free to convo me so I can place an order with my printer. Even if it is "out of stock" I can get the photograph to you in approximately a week's time (for U.S. - a bit longer for Canada and International, of course).
