This photographic project began in 1999 with my relocation to Chicago after 20 years in California. I was mesmerized by the beauty and serenity of Winter and was intrigued by the way Mother Nature could so majestically cover and silence a major city. It continues to evolve.

Raised surrounded by the rich farmlands of Southern Minnesota, these photographs pay tribute to my Midwest heritage. As I moved from the heartlands and experienced urban and suburban living throughout the United States, I developed a greater appreciation for the beauty and open spaces of my origin. The creation of Rural Heartlands brought me back to my roots and the values I cherish. Click here to see more images in this collection. |

Going "Up North" was apart of growing up in Minnesota. Now I often travel to Northern Wisconsin where it is wonderfully unpopulated and one can still experience pristine wilderness. Click here to see more images in this collection. |

The extraordinary often resides in the ordinary. Frequently we are too close to see its uniqueness or beauty. Oftentimes it is the stillness that silently draws my attention. This is a work in progress. Click here to see more images in this collection. |

This body of work evolved after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout treatment there were many times when I knew I was only getting through by the grace of God. I could almost hear the rustle of angel wings. This is my visual prayer of Thanksgiving for all the "wings" who lovingly carried me through. Click here to see more images in this collection. |

My 17 year residency in San Francisco initiated my entree into Street Photography. I was enamored with the beauty of this feminine pastel city. Enshrouded in fog and linked to the rest of the world via two majestic gateways, the luminous radiance of San Francisco seemed to lure and blend the originality of the universe.

I am totally enchanted with Paris. From the sound of accordions on street corners in the evening to the curve of the rounded rooftops, it is a visual feast and clearly a city that truly reflects and appreciates beauty. Periodically, I simply must return. Click here to see more images in this collection. |

This body of work has evolved from a scripture that was written on my heart... "You shall be like a watered garden." Isaiah 58:11. I often retreat to the Chicago Botanical Gardens to find inspiration in nature. It was there that this scripture came alive and fully revealed itself in the living waters of the aquatic garden.

The tragedy that befell our nation on September 11, 2001 brought the world to its knees in mourning. From the depths of my own sadness I sought to come to grips with the reality of this tragedy. This body of work pays reverence to the very human act of mourning. May it give us a sense of urgency and serve as an important reminder that "all our days are numbered".
