Biography

I am a self-taught photographer and mixed media artist. I taught myself through books and videos, as well as occasional classes and workshops. I continue to explore new techniques such as ICM (intentional camera movement) photography, creative photo editing using PhotoShop Elements, creating my own collage papers with the Gel Plate, and creative methods to add depth and texture to my mixed media paintings. I participate in local art groups including Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, as well.
