About
 

I have been an anatomic pathologist for almost thirty years.  As a pathologist, I spend my time observing patterns and detail through a microscope to arrive at an accurate diagnosis for patients.  It is hard to know if I chose the profession because I was a visual learner or if over the years the profession has require me to develop and refine my visual skills. In any case, I find that the skills I have from my professional life can be applied to my interests in photography and painting.  I can spend hours hiking through the woods or meadows in Northeast Ohio discovering through another lens the intricacies of nature.  I am drawn to "big picture" patterns, in addition to the middle and highest layers of detail that are abundant not only in my own backyard but in the surrounding parks.  The images I capture with my camera are often the starting point of my paintings. Although I have many years of experience in my job, my career as an artist through photography and painting has just begun.  I am thrilled to share what "I see" through my lens and “with my brush”.
