Artist Bio

The intricate details emerging from a blooming flower are fascinating to me. Flowers have stopped me in my tracks too many times to count. That person on the sidewalk transfixed by an azalea is me. My photographs range from Monarch butterfly caterpillars to beautiful flowers to farm animals.

The idea to design and send greeting cards came to me during the Covid-19 pandemic shut down that sickened, isolated, and saddened so many people.  I was inspired to spread hope and share inspiration by using my pictures from dog walks and telling cute stories about Ted on each card.

It’s never too late to discover, pursue, and express yourself through art.  For amateur photography, just pick something that interests you and start taking photos.  Along the way, read up or watch videos on what makes a photo great. You will see miracles through your camera lens!
