My love of photography began in my late teens. In 1974, while pursuing a career in retail advertising, I enrolled as a part-time student at Columbia College Chicago. There, I studied the history of photography and how it developed into an art form. I learned how to see the world in color as well as in shades of gray. I learned about darkroom chemistry and how to manipulate silver gelatin. I learned about esoteric color processes such as dye sublimation. I learned about the differences between good and bad composition. And, finally, it was there that I learned that the B.A. degree I earned in 1978, was but another step toward my photographic goals. In the hiatus between then and now, I have raised a family, established my own marketing communications firm and co-founded Perspective Group and Photography Gallery, a not-for-profit cooperative of fine art photographers located in Evanston, Illinois, where I continue to be an active member. 

My work ranges widely in style and subject matter. The photographs and digital art that I create includes: images that capture the visually arresting realism of the moment; images that are impressionistic; images that are complete abstractions; and, lately, AI-assisted imagery. In all cases, my intent is to engage the viewer and offer them an encounter with beauty and imagination.
