Every image calls to me...
I'm doing what i love... and i love where i live.
Every day I explore, engage, and observe the world around me. I have been photographing for 25 years, but creating art for YOU for just a short spell.
I live in Northern Michigan. My friends in Texas think that I am crazy for moving so far north from Houston. But, i grew up here in Michigan, and I know how wonderful the changing seasons are, the fresh food culture, the amazingly clear and blue water of the lakes and the small town feel that comes from living in a community of only 17,000 .
Everything about my life inspires me to create and share images with you. I have a wonderful life here in Northern Michigan and I want to share the colors of the seasons, the freshness of the food, the coolness of the water; just about everything that I love, with you.
I have a supervisor here too. My dog Tess who spends an inordinate of time under my computer desk manages my time in the office. She follows me around the home studio and let's me know when it is time for a break( walk) and time for some nurturing (food).
All of the imagery from Heart Farm is of my own creation. I print and package everything up here in my home studio which consists of two MacIntosh computers, two Epson professional printers and loads of papers and boxes and glassine envelopes.
When I am not in my studio creating finished pieces of art, you could find me with my camera wandering among the hills, valleys and farms of Northern Michigan capturing images that delight my soul.
And when I am not capturing images, you would most likely find me out at the barn where i keep two horses that feed my soul like you could never imagine! Sterling and Ayashi are my oversize four legged companions!
Thankyou for reading just a little bit about my life and my work here at HeartFarm.
