About Me

My work focuses on the duality of life… the balance of opposites… of chaos and order… as it can be seen in the facets of the natural world.  Through landscapes, botanical and mineral details, and degradation of industrial products derived from those resources, I examine the processes that shape the world around and within us.

I was born in Savannah, Georgia and grew up on a working farm outside the city.  My childhood was spent outdoors, playing in the woods with my brother, caring for the farm animals, and training and competing in equestrian sports.  This early involvement with nature, as well as a deep love of animals, has shaped my personal and artistic experience.  Another important influence has been travel.  I've traveled extensively in the US, around Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.  I enjoy hiking, camping, and exploring - both the backcountry and the back roads of America.

I recently completed graduate work at the SUNY Buffalo Art Conservation Program and an Advanced Conservation Internship at theDenver Art Museum.  I am currently on staff at the Gerald R. Ford Conservation Center and look forward to being involved with the Arts Community here in Omaha… as a conservator, an avid supporter of musical and performance arts, and as a visual artist.

Every time I open my eyes to the natural world there is something fascinating, something that exists for only that moment, and I feel so lucky to be there to experience it.  Photography has given me the opportunity to try and capture some of the wonder I find in nature and share that connection with other people.
