About the Photographer
I like to say that I am an “anthro-photographer” combining my backgrounds in art and anthropology, fueled by a lifelong curiosity of the world around me, the people in it, and their stories. My lens is wide. I am drawn to the urban and industrial landscapes in my home city of Tulsa, OK. The character and history these places hold are rich in texture and mystery. I also love traveling and exploring new cultures and landscapes. From wide-angle landscapes and architectural scenes, to the close-up details captured with a macro lens my goal is to compose a frame, a moment, that is both familiar and unique, thought provoking and inspiring. I also enjoy street photography and creative portraiture.
I love to share the many benefits I have experienced by deepening my skills of observation throughout my photography journey and therefore deepening the experience of the richness and gratitude for life. I teach a variety of photography classes and workshops to adults and youth, and lead photography walking tours in Tulsa.
I am also married, a mother of two children, 20 and 12, and an instructor of White Crane Silat, an Indonesian martial art.
“Photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see, and everything to do with the way you see them.”
