I have always had an interest in the
arts. As a child my hands dabbled with paints, paper, brushes,
scissors, glue, crayons, etcetera. My vivid imagination led me to
many interesting childhood games and my eyes were always alert for
anything new that might pop up on my nature
jaunts.
I received a Bachelor of Science in
Elementary Education, and a
minor in Social Sciences from Central Methodist College, Fayette, Missouri. My teaching degree was used to teach first
grade, elementary reading, music, art, and physical
education.
My children are grown and now I have time to
pursue those things left behind from my childhood days. I
particularly like to shoot meaningful photographs that appeal to the
heart and allow the viewer to create his own story.
My work is done with a Canon 20D digital
camera. I process all my work in my shop. I use an
Epson Stylus R2400 for printing. Prices are uniform
according to size.
