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, 23 and 15, and I am an instructor of White Crane Silat, an Indonesian martial art.
