AUTHOR
Born in Wichita, Kansas, she lived and traveled extensively throughout the United States, but Kansas City and the people she came to know while living here continue to inform and inspire her art. She currently lives and works in Germany.
"I knew I was achieving my goal with photography as my medium when I was accused of having an extra setting on my camera called „Soul of a Man“.
Nothing gives me joy like capturing that fleeting moment when someone is lost in a thought and allowing their inner world to merge with the one around them.
Through focus on eyes, hands, and intimate framing I strive to connect you with these people I see around me on the streets and stages that comprise my life.
Black and White finishing allows me to strip away everything but the light and the shadow. In between is that grey area open for your interpretation.
Blue and silver are present in nearly all my finished edits and in my original prints enhanced by epoxy resin. I want you to stop and dive into this person, swim with them. You have been where they are, if only for a moment. 2007."
