I am an art photographer and memoir author who was born and lived in St. Thomas,  U. S. Virgin Islands before moving to the Midwest to finish college. After recovering from a severe multiple sclerosis exacerbation, I decided to end my corporate and nonprofit career and pursue two passions: visual and literary arts.

​

Many of my recent digital artworks are composed of multiple images I layer to suggest depth and texture. I intend the resulting abstracts to challenge assumptions about what is and is not visible, and compel viewers to consider what lies beneath the surface in art and life.

​

I've published two books: SAMSON: Memories of a Found Hound (2017) and (deep breath) Life Continues: Facing the Challenges of MS, Menopause and Midlife with Hope, Courage and Humor (2010).

​

Thanks to my wonderful husband, I was able to complete the #1 item on both my bucket list and the 60 Things I Wanted To Do Before I Turn 60: going to Portugal. As the new decade begins, I hope to start sculpting again, publish a short story collection, and venture places where snakes aren't prevalent so I won't need knee-high boots and a mongoose bodyguard.

​

The certainty of uncertainty inherent in having multiple sclerosis increases the urgency for me to create art and to write while I can. Most days, I do.

​

My husband and I live in Dublin, Ohio.
