A practicing artist since 1982, I graduated from Arizona State University in 1992 with an MFA in Fine Art Photography.  For more than a decade, I taught photography at institutions including Arizona State University, College of the Atlantic, and the Oregon College of Art and Craft. I was a participant in the Portland Grid Project, a systematic photographic essay of the City of Portland, one square mile at a time.

My photographic work—focused on gardens, plants, and our sacred relationship with them—continues with the use of pinhole cameras. I’ve always been fascinated with the traces of human behavior—both in the landscape, and the objects we leave behind--having worked in my first career as an archeologist in the Southwestern USA and in the Middle East.

My creative work has been included in numerous exhibitions in the U.S.A. and abroad, and is held in personal and public permanent collections including: Arizona State University Museum of Art; Women in Photography International Archive; College of the Atlantic; and the Nevada Museum of Art. My work was featured in an exhibition and book:  The Altered Landscape:  Photographs of a Changing Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art, book published by Skira Rizzoli, 2012.
