I have been a lover of beauty my entire life. Before I was old enough to walk, my father began a nightly ritual – carrying me around our house, inside and out, pausing to let me caress and admire each painting, leaf, flower and other “pretty” thing I saw. My father is gone now, but I will always be grateful to him for recognizing and nurturing my innate love of beauty.

Today, sharing the beauty I see in this world is my profession. The subject matter of my photography is as varied as the name “Four Winds” suggests. I enjoy capturing any image that catches my artist’s eye, whether it’s a grand landscape, an interesting architectural detail, an intimate portrait of a flower, an abstract design formed by natural or man-made elements, a wildlife encounter, or a scene that captures the essence of a place.

My images have won many awards at photographic competitions, and my work has been displayed at numerous galleries and other locations in the Colorado Springs area and elsewhere.

I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America, the Peak Digital

Imaging Society, the Circle of Confusion and the Colorado Springs Photography Meetup Group. I formerly served on the board of directors of the Professional Photographers Guild of Colorado Springs.
