something about me

Expanding my horizons, I’ve recently started dabbling in watercolor and AI, though my true expertise lies in photography. With over 25 years of experience in Marketing, Advertising, and Photography, my philosophy is to always be learning something new.

My photographic work encompasses a wide range of subjects, including art, interiors, architecture, food, and events. My images have been published and incorporated into interior design, artwork, and decor, showcasing the versatility and depth of my work.

In the realm of digital arts, I have substantial experience in website design, social marketing, and online advertising, alongside traditional marketing methods. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite—Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign—underpins my creative projects.

My work has been featured in publications such as All About Beer Magazine, Midtown Magazine, and Our State. My expertise spans various genres, including Decor, Editorial, Architectural, Food, Advertising, and Online Marketing.

Despite my extensive background, I am still in the process of discovering my visual voice, a journey I expect to continue indefinitely. Based in the vibrant, small southern city of Durham, NC, I draw inspiration from the people and surroundings that inhabit it.

As an observer by nature, I find beauty in threes and thirds, a preference that subtly influences my artistic choices and compositions.
