I have a BA in Visual Arts (Honors) from the University of Western Ontario. Owned & operated my own art gallery in Stratford, Ontario for a number of years where I represented 28 artists and taught photography classes. I was a wedding and family portrait photographer for 20+ years.
Currently, I am working on various fine art projects in my photography practice. I am primarily focused on a 25 year+ project of various characters caught in questionable moments, leading the viewer to wonder what happened before, what will happen next. The inspiration for each character is drawn upon the film noir femme fatale, as well as the exploration of the self through personas, imagined identities & art portraiture. I experiment with different types of lighting to create distorted effects in darkened environments which is inspired by chiaroscuro. Nature is one of my favorite backgrounds to use & I often brave the elements to get the shot. I am the photographer, the model, set director & costume designer of all my images. I alternatively work in acrylic / mixed medium projects alongside my art photography.
