ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER:
Photography and travel have been my passions for many years. I bought my first “SLR” in college as I was preparing to spend a year abroad on an international studies program. Since we were going to be living in a castle in the north of England, the investment seemed worthwhile – it was! I hitchhiked and snapped my way around Europe and a great love for photography and travel was born.
Through the years, I nurtured my passion for photography through classes, reading and shooting shooting shooting. I continued to travel as much as I could, saving my pennies and splurging on trips back to England.
In 1999 my life took a sudden turn. I was working in insurance underwriting and attending a program in sign language interpretation when a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia turned my life upside down. I was forced to abandon my career ambitions and quit working full time. What was, for me, a very black cloud revealed its silver lining as I was able to devote my time to photography, working at my own pace as my illness allowed. I have found the old cliché to be true: when one door closes, another door opens.
Life Image is an outgrowth of that unexpected turn of events. In the challenges and the blessings, I continue to grow as an artist and a person. My vision is shaped by the world around me and my response to it. From the enduring nature of stones to the fleeting splendor of sunsets, life reveals its rhythm … in my garden, in my home state of Minnesota, and in the many places around the world that I have visited. The greeting cards offered through Life Image, LLC are my way of sharing my art with you. Enjoy!
