I create art through photography, watercolor painting, and music. As a photographer and watercolor artist, I’m drawn to capturing moments.

Photography, currently. Capturing an image and clarifying its visual form with sensitivity to light, color, and composition has become a passion and an avocation although I have spent most of my life as a professional pianist.
Where do you find inspiration?With photography and painting, I feel inspired by subtle contrasts in light, color and movement, then shaping the image in my mind’s eye into something cohesive and expressive. I approach music similarly, intuitively crafting tone, mood, and flow to fit each unique setting. I find inspiration in unexpected moments—when something feels striking, ironic, or rare in form.
