Artist Biographical Statement

The focus of my photography has been geography in all of its intriguing and mystifying facets. I originally took photographs to provide my geography students with examples of the great physical and cultural diversity we studied, particularly that which relates to the lives of ordinary people who create extraordinary places, and to the wonders of the natural world. Examples include images of Fingal’s Cave of the Outer Hebrides, Scotland; the Shepherd of the Moorlands in the Lüneberger Heath of north Germany; the Fishermen of Nazaré, Portugal; and a spider’s masterpiece in our back yard! The art of photography for me has been capturing a moment in time that best expresses the essence of a place and the lives of its people.
